Full House on the River: July 2013

Writing the blog has definitely gone by the wayside as I navigate through the busyness of three young children! First, it is so much fun!! Second, so tiring!!

I resigned from my office job to be at home with the children and never looked back. Will and I thought and prayed about this decision for months and when the time came to decide it was an easy decision. It helps that I resigned at the start of summer so we have enjoyed many fun afternoons at the pool, playdates with friends and some fun long weekend trips with family. So much happens each day that I wish I was documenting between precious pictures, sweet and funny things the kids say and precious moments that I want to bottle up.

Kate and Wright have done great adjusting to a new baby brother. It helps that Bennett is a wonderful, sweet, snuggly little baby! He had some digestive issues early on, but now that we have worked through them he is so happy. He loves to be outside, water and the attention he receives from his family! We had his 4 month, yes already, appointment yesterday and he is doing great.

He weighs 14 lbs 4 oz and is 25 inches long

He sleeps great at night usually waking around sometime between 5:30 and 6:30 to eat. We aren't on a true day schedule yet which has been hard for me, but with the kids schedules it is hard to be at home for naps each day. Bennett just rolls with it and sleeps as well in his car seat as he does the crib!

Kate and Wright become more and more independent daily. This is both good and bad. Good in that they can do more for themselves and to help me, bad because it brings a bit of an attitude with it and a need to "do it themselves". They play so well together and we are so thankful for that. They have cute nicknames for each other and daily refer to the other as their best friend. They stick up for each other and in new settings really take care of each other. Twins share such a cool bond and we love watching them together!
