Week 2

Things are going good so far. It's only Monday afternoon, but I have had a few other days to myself also, so its not a first per say. It is a challenge though. The biggest part for me is having something for the older guys to do. Otherwise we all stare at each other and patience runs thin!

But here is Zach. He rarely wants to hold her, but he came right up and took her from my arms and laid back and hung out. We were all laughing so hard.

Here she is after a diaper change. I had to help Zach and didnt put her pants on, so I just set her up like this. Look at these legs! Whoo Hoo!

She has done good sleeping. She is up to 2 1/2 - 3 hr stretches. She does not like the pacifier at all. It looks like she is sucking on a lemon, but she will take it if she has eaten and is in the car.

here are the scattered pics of the park. I took Sadie in the Bjorn. It actually worked out quite well.

The ferry. Such a beautiful day! The moment we were in the car it started to pour. Welcome to Seattle right?!

Noah called this the hamster wheel. Smart kid. It does look like that. Also notice the cool dude glasses Zach has...

He was actually in a tantrum because I didnt want him to go all the way to the water to throw his rock in since it was SUPER slippery with sea weed. But the picture turned out sweet anyway.

Enjoying the view!

This is what happens when Daddy and the boys are outside working. Men will be men.

Noah in rare form. Pants but no shirt. He was out watering the flowers for daddy. When Tony is home, things get done and everyone gets put to work. :)

This was this morning. I decided to get the swing out to give me a moment to get the boys figured out, but I knew it would be a problem because Noah and Zach hadnt seen it in long while. So Zach was fixated on it. Then once I got her out, somehow Zach got in without it falling over. Man oh man.

We went for our first family run. SO much fun. We just did a quick few miles but it was a blast. Wind in my hair, legs running free, all the kids. I just love it, love it! We did look awfully funny though. Kinda like a circus act really.

That was this week. I am tired. She is great. Having everyone together is fun. My new weird saying is "Having three requires TLC' because it does! Everyone needs a bit more, everything (like laundry and cleaning) does too, and we need to give it even more to each other. But so far, this has been a great journey and I am thankful for these crazy kids.
