Yesterday we took a trip to Schnepf Farms. Their Peach Blossom festival is going on right now, and we decided to go check it out. Beth, Jaylee, and Maelee came with us and we had a blast. We rode the train, walked out to the peach blossoms, saw the deer, and played at the park and petting zoo. This is such a fun location that is so close to us. Everything but the train ride was free, and it's so much fun for the littles.  We will have to go again in April when the peaches are ready to pick!

Valentines Day

I hope everyone had a good valentines day this year.  Ours was pretty low key this year but great nonetheless.

Kate hand made all her valentines this year. We even sent some to Grandmas and Grandpas! In this picture she is working on some for her little preschool friends.

On the day of Valentines we made Daddy his favorite sugar cookies, gave him a box of candy bars and a mustache mug.  Dustin sent me a beautiful bouquet, along with one of his cheesy-non-poems that make me laugh.  Dustin made the kids cute little valentines with characters Mike Wazoski and Olaf, and I set out some candy for them along with a small present each.

The gifts I got the kids.   A cute Elsa necklace (a lady in my neighborhood makes them) and a Power Rangers mask (his latest obsession).

That night we put the kids to bed early.  This year we decided not to face the crowds and made ourselves a steak dinner and rented a movie.  We'll make up for it later!

 

Happy Valentines Day!

Brothers

I snapped these pictures the other day when Max actually held Jack for more than .5 seconds.  I LOVE these boys!  They make my heart happy.

I just love everything about this picture.  Max's refusal to wear pants, his binky in his mouth, Captain America by his side, and the way he is looking at his baby brother.  But the thing I love MOST about this picture is how Jack is staring back at him.  I love my sweet boys.

1 month old

 Wow I can't believe already a month has flown by.  We love our baby Jack and are so glad he decided to join our family!

I'm adjusting to three kids better than I adjusted to two I think.  So far it really hasn't been that big of a change.  The main things I've noticed is that it takes way longer to leave the house, and when we do it can get a little crazy if I've got all of them by myself.  I've run out of hands to hold everyone with!  This time around I've been trying to not stress too much about things like cleaning the house, and just focus on my little baby.  He's only going to be this small once, and I don't want to feel like I missed it.  The house can wait.

He is such a good baby.  He eats about every 2-3 hours during the day and at night he goes about 4-5 hours in between feedings.  Even though he only wakes up twice a night, I'm still adjusting to my new sleep schedule haha.  When we is awake he can get a little fussy, and lately he likes to be held a lot, but I don't mind that at all!  I love my snuggly little baby!

I don't have any stats on him yet, I need to remember to make his 1 month appointment this week!


What Kate has to say about her baby brother:

"I like how he's so cute and that he looks at me and that he stares at me funny.  I love Jack.  I love Jack very much, he makes me just want to hug him, and he's so cute that I just want to look at him!"

What Max has to say:

"Jack is a baby human."

Of course an update about the baby is not complete without some adorable pictures!
