Sunshine!




So, I find myself here at that odd moment when my girls are finally down for their naps and I am wondering at what point L is going to wake up...so should I try to sleep and get woken up in only 20 minutes or do I just stay up and wait for him to wake up to feed?
In any case, I thought I should at least be productive and update this blog.
Jon took off this week for more training in Chicago. His mom was sweet enough to come and stay with me so I didn't lose my mind with three kids. (Thanks Karen for being my lifesaver!) We have been enjoying the sunshine here and try to spend as much time outside as possible. Our backyard has become a kid wonderland as we continue to inherit other's outside toys. The girls love being outside and playing pirate.
L is just as sweet as can be. I love to watch all the faces he pulls as he wakes up. Of course, like all babies, he seems to know when mom is getting ready to shower, eat, and sleep. (Those are his favorite times to be up.) And again, like all other babies, he made his first official "blow out diaper" today in his church clothes. I don't know why it happens on Sunday, but it always does.
So, tomorrow marks the beginning of being on my own with three kids. I have to admit that I am a bit scared and I wonder if I really will make it. In fact, I am making my first attempt at shopping with three kids tomorrow and I am hoping that I make it out alive. Well...here is to tomorrow!

The first day on your own is always a little scary but somehow we manage to get it down!! I remember thinking how in the world I could have two kids and now I'm freaking out about three now that I have two down!! You'll have to let me know how it goes :)before Ben and I make any rash decisions (haha) Especially the shopping part....Good luck!! You're a great mom!
Blow outs! Yipee, what I have to look forward too. j/k Well, hopefully by the time we have our little one, you will be a pro at 3 kids and can give me advice right? As time gets closer I get more nervous. Not sure we are ready for a 3rd child. Especially when the boys are at such an independent age and it is so easy to just get up and go, etc, and now we are going to go back to packing a diaper bag full of 4 or 5 changes of clothes, a bundle of diapers and wipes, bottles, etc each time we walk out the door. We haven't changed/bought a single diaper in almost 9 months! Am I ready to go back to that stage again? I guess ready or not... its coming. I just hope I can quickly jump back into the baby mode when he/she arrives like I could with Camden, cause I feel like I know nothing about newborns (though I know I do somewhere deep down inside). Good luck with the being on your own part. Hope Jon is back and safe. The joys of husband's traveling. Such a great experience for them to learn and grow, yet still not so easy for the mom at home. Fortunately I think Brady finally has a break for a few months at least. Take care guys. We wish you guys the best.

My mom always said having three kids close together was GREAT when we were young. She said it's the teen years that'll get ya, because we were all smart alecs, and had to be evrywhere at once. Good Luck :)Glad to see everything is going well.
