monday tops

 

 

hello Monday.

 

 

 

 

 

we're beating the Monday blues thanks to some pictures my sister took and sent me from Noah's first few days (thank you jen!) we had a big morning at the doctor's today.  Caleb's on a breathing treatment for his asthma (first time in nine months) lucas has an ear infection and has to go on antibiotics and Noah is a healthy 12 lbs and 22.5" for his one month baby well. (I'm thanking our probiotics for the boys' health, this is the first time they have really been sick in months!)

enjoying the sunshine

 first trip flying solo to morgan hill with all three boys! (we did good.)

 one month.

I've been reflecting on life with my three little guys. We have our crazy moments that's for sure. We have gotten very creative (for example... noah is in the ergo most of the time, I've finally figured  out how to walk and nurse with a baby in the ergo...it only took me till the third child!) I feel like we have become excellent jugglers and have really mastered the art of working together. I feel blessed by Dave every day. He is so good about letting me have 'quiet' time. I'm able to slip out the door in the morning for a quick walk. All the boys nap at the same time in the afternoon (my saving grace everyday) so I am able to do my quiet time for bible study, and a short nap.  I feel so grateful for our little family of five and feel so blessed by simple moments such dinner around the table together or quiet family walks in the evening at sunset.

few randoms...
I heard a great song on klove this am (see below) I love the words. I also love this video (see below) I've been watching the Good Wife (catching up on the past few seasons) I love it!! And this week is our last week in our study by Priscilla Shirer, One in a Million. It was awesome! Next week Dave goes to England for work. He's been working hard to get stuff ready for over there and we're pretty proud of him here at home. He's going to be missed for the week that he is over there.

So that's it with my random posts and thoughts; it is warm and sunny and everything is blooming. An early spring, which makes me happy:)

 happy Monday ;)

An Open Letter To Moms from Kid President

life with three, three weeks in

It has been three weeks with our little noah samuel, and three weeks as a family of five.

 

Here are some blurry phone pics, little moments from life.

 big brother love. I love the way the boys change their voice when they talk to noah. higher sounding and gentle. they nuzzle in close.

 most days while noah sleeps these two act as always; best buddies one minute, sworn enemies the next....as brothers do.

lucas is so fascinated with noah, caleb so eager to help. each night when I sneak into the boys' rooms and watch them for a few minutes while they sleep, so peacefully...I pinch myself, I can't believe I'm a mama to three precious boys. Three beautiful blessings.

 silly faces

 lunch and read

 wet chalk play on a warm sunny day in February

 I just love this little guy's cuddles. so warm, cuddly, and squishy.

 3 weeks in-loves milk, sleep, and cuddles. I may be imagining the smiles and a couple coos. one dimple discovered. left cheek.

 hearts for valentines

 don't ask.

 nani and poppa came to visit.

 first bath

 

 

 still missing grandma...everyday.

 practicing

 life with three.

 

Soaking up every little moment with my three little men and their daddy.

 thank you grandma. what a wonderful two weeks! such precious memories.

 "noah nose?" "noah cheek?" "ohhhhhh hahhahaa"

We are all smitten.
