Christmas and more

I know, I know...once again I've been a slacker! Here's the update starting with the most recent of events.

Baby Weigh In 12/26/13-
Abigail Yvonne - 9lbs!
Evan Michael - 7lbs 10oz!
They are doing excellent! Abigail has blessed us with a couple complete nights of rest for here. Little Evan is not there just yet, he's taking longer rests through the night so hopefully not too long.

The big boys are still loving the littles.

Great G'pa Papa

Mr. I not loving Santa

Prince Evan

Christmas Eve

Christmas morning

After 1 present and stockings we had to take a 2 hour break 

so DH could put together Lego sets totaling 990 pieces!

The break alled me to enjoy my coffee and this little guy.

Christmas dinner! So much fun!

Back together again

Life as we now know it

Evan is home!!

DH, Abby and I spent the past several day at the hospital with Evan preparing and anticipating bringing him home. He had amazing care, if he could talk I bet he would like to go back to the calm, soothing and tranquil place he's called home for the past two months. 

Now he has BIG Brothers!!

Car seat Test

Tummy Tube practice

Last few minutes - 

this moment was very reminiscent of that with Noah when we left the hospital

Home at last - First Family Photo 

It has been an interesting journey and I hope to some day have more time to document it. Not enough time or arms seems to be the constant state I'm in. Our hearts are full and we are so looking forward to each day with each of our beautiful children. Each has made us better people and I could not imagine life any different that what it is. We are truly blessed.

Holiday Fun

I know I'm skipping ahead and over Thanksgiving, I'm sure I'll get those pictures posted at some point.

Trimming

Lighted Truck Parade

Jingle Bell our Scout Elf...he's a good one!

All in the nick of time

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Only Noah...

Baby Update

Mr. Issac

Holy Moly this kid is a hoot!

His new favorite phrase - "I funny!"

Isaac will start preschool next June, in the meantime he's 

just learning all the bad habits he can from his big Bro!

Sweet Abigail

Last weigh in was 6 lbs 15 oz (I'm sure she's over 7 now!)

Eating, sleeping, pooping and being loved like a champ! 

Sir Noah....

Noah is doing excellent in preschool and swim lessons!

Noah loves his little sister, wants his turn to hold her, feed her, hug her, snuggle her

He's such a love - in this pic it looks like he's squeezing her like one 

of those Bug out Bobs!

Little Evan

The hospital is so sweet, once they learned what we named him

they made him a new sign. Warms my heart.

Sadly, Evan has had some set backs. He was doing so great, growing and gaining and eating - 

 we were planning on spending the weekend with him and bringing him home this Monday. The hospital did a procedure on his feeding tube but basically botched it. He's set back 8 weeks on his tube and at least a couple on coming home. He's doing fine, we're just so sad for him.

He's a sweet, mellow, snugly little guys. We can't wait to bring him home.

There you have it - our brood.

Room Rotations

For those of you concerned about the size of our house

and the number of occupants...

Never fear, everyone has enough room and personal space!

Part of this is documentation that at one point in history 

their rooms were clean and organized

The Twins

The BIG boys

So far the big boys are doing great sharing a room, a little rowdy at time and a little too much fun at times but all good all the time.
