A bunch of pictures!!

Here are a bunch of pictures for ya'll to enjoy! Here is my Happy, Happy 19 month old sweet baby boy! He was reading a book while eating zuchini and squash, yes, his favorite! Isn't he adorable??!! Below that is Luke holding Ryan and then at the bottom Emma Kate. He has come ALONG way in one month!! He is claiming them as his and he is becoming very protective. The last picture is exactly how the twins sleep together. One of them is ALWAYS headed toward the other one...Those sleep positioners DO NOT WORK!:o)

In the midst of craziness...

We do have special, special times! Luke did not do well when Jon and Donna and the babies came home. He was very angry with me and very jealous with Jon holding the babies. The first few days were a struggle. He cried, Donna cried, it just wasn't fun for anyone. BUT, little by little, each day, Luke has began to love these babies and it has been fun to watch. Up until today, he had never held Ryan or Emma Kate. Today, the babies were laying on the mat, and he asked in his grunting way to hold Ryan. He put his arms out and held him and stroked his face. He then asked for Emma Kate. He did the same to her. My mom and I were about ready to cry and of course, we had no camera near to video! It was sweet and something I won't soon forget!

Also, I FINALLY got a picture of all 3 of my children. That was a hump we got over too, because until now, Luke wouldn't get in a picture with just them.

Enjoy the new pictures!

Still Enjoying Help!

Well, my sister and nieces have left, boohoo. My mom is now here and Jon is back at work so the days are crazy busy! I can't imagine life in 2 weeks but I know I will make it through. Some nights are great! And some not so great (like last night). Sometimes they decide to sleep, sometimes they decide to cry all night. Two nights ago, we had EVERYONE up including Luke at 1am...UHHHH. Here are my adorable 3 children! Luke would brush his teeth all day long if you let him! These are the most adorable outfits that Aunt Sara gave to the twins. She came for a week visit, but it wasn't long enough. It was sad to see her leave!
