Our Family

No, I'm not trying to abandon my blog. Yes, Mom, I'll start blogging more regularly again.

I'm trying to figure out how to navigate our new reality of three kids, dirty diapers, bottles, sleepless nights-and blogging.

No, it's really not that bad and I wouldn't have it any other way!

I'm very much a routine person (can we say OCD), and I'm trying to figure out what is the best morning routine for getting a 2 week old fed; a six year old fed, dressed and on the bus; and a three year old fed, happy and not feeling neglected.

I'm giving myself bonus points for getting a shower before noon.

My current tally is zero points, in case you're keeping track.

Here are some random pics of the last several weeks:

Bella's first trip to the doctor at 6 days old.

She looks impressed, doesn't she?

Almost as impressed as her brother:

Notice the change of outfits on Alex: apparently the "stoplight" look of red and green is in.

Goodness gracious, I think I'll be dressing him before his first date.

Before Isabella, there were only boy cousins on both sides of the family.

Here are all the cousins on Craig's side of the family.
Apparently, there were some disgruntled cousins that the streak of all boys was broken.

C'mon boys-it was time to add some pink to the family!

"The Boys"-Adam, Alex, Tyler & Drew

And what happens when you get four boys together for any length of time?

Tackling, wrestling, jumping off things, or a combination of all three of course! No, there's no baby under there.

Craig's parents

In other news around our house look what happens in 75 degree weather when the boys are cold from playing in their little pool:

I have no words.

Sweatshirts, lined pants and mittens.

Let's not forget the baseball helmets.

And those piles of dirt there by the pool? Yep that's what happens when the moneypit pool has a leak in the pipes beneath the concrete.

Needless to say, that's the hubby's Memorial Day project-I'll post more on that later.

I hope you are all having a great weekend!
