Life around these parts

Things are a bit crazy with 3 kiddos (sometimes more crazy than I expected, sometimes less), but I always have my iPhone/camera/nursing timer on me so I have been able to capture some details. In no particular order...

 No, toddler-sized carts do not make your shopping trip easier...but they sure are cute!

How did I wind up with a child so averse to chocolate that he only eats the centers of the Oreos? 

We can't keep up with Brice's pizza requests so last night he had to make his own. Verdict: not as good as the real thing.

Brotherly love up close, which seems to be the only distance they can look at him from.

Chase before his Spring Tea performance. He was a blue fish. Yes, his school is a little crunchy granola.

Having tea at Spring Tea in his classroom.

Brothers bonding over the shared Lamont playmat experience. 

Hide-and-seek.

Memorial Day weekend looked like water guns, a kiddie pool, a faux-hawk, and obviously a snow shovel.

Fun at the park....at least for Brice.

I.am.exhausted...

...but it is worth it.

I like this edited pic (afterlight app!) much better.

Daddy does pick-up.

Just another calm dinner.

More fun to come!

We have (real) smiles

As seen on Monday (May 26)

And after morning feedings since then. More cute pics from yesterday...

Luke's first days

Day 1: Welcome to the world and meeting the family

First pic with Mommy and Daddy

 

Proud Mommy

First bath- I would be crying too!

That's better!

Nursing...which made him stop crying. Little guy was hungry.

Good thing Mommy's toes had a clean tag on them.

Finally up in our room and the swelling reaches Mommy's face.

A little rest since the contractions kept us both up all night.

 

Meeting his big brothers.

awwwww....

Meeting Grampy

Luke, like Santa Claus, brought some awesome presents for his brothers. The only question is where did Mommy fit these in her belly....?

Meeting a very proud Grammy!

 

day 2: Mommy recovers...and takes pictures of Luke

 

 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

 

 

Daddy finally makes it back to the hospital and gets some time in with his littlest.

Day 3: Super big brothers visit and family picture attempts

The calm before the storm.

Someone get this big brother a modeling contract.

Super big brothers! Brice with his cheese face.

 

The best family photo we got. Brice is just thrilled to be a middle child. And Chase is staring at the TV. You can't win them all.

Phew, that was exhausting!
