Enjoying times like these

There's nothing more precious than a sleeping baby. The past 2 1/2 weeks have been a bit interesting. I've seen a glimpse of what life with 4 kids will be like for a while. A least until things get back to normal around here. I couldn't stay in the house any longer and was willing to risk how hard it might be to take out 4 little ones out shopping and to the library. Let's just say that I'm probably not going to do that very much. Of course, the sleep deprivation doesn't help much with nerves. The past few weekends my mother and one of my sister's were able to come visit. It was so good to have them here. My sister June brought her two boys and so we had a household full of kids, but they enjoyed each other so much and we all had a good visit. June always has a way of making me laugh, we have so much fun together. Thanks June for making me feel human again! :)

My mom brought a gift of some onesies to Bella and Claire was going through them and decided that she could wear them. Next thing I new she was running around with them on. I'm shocked that she actually could fit into a 3-6 month onesie. She looks like a little gymnist. So cute.


It's interesting to watch a love between brothers and sisters grow when a new family member arrives. If I'm rocking Bella and the kids are busy playing they'll usually stop and softly stroke Bella's head or give her a soft kiss and then sprint off to continue playing. They just love her so much already.
