Regardless of new babies and sleep deprivation, life moves on and there are still field trips and school schedules to maintain. Erik really had to step up and be Mr. Mom during his time off work, and honestly, he is still doing most of the volunteering at school, field trips, and transport to gymnastics and dance. I sometimes wonder if life will ever go back to "normal" - probably not. I was so lucky to have my mom come for 2 weeks to help me adjust. It's been so funny to me that as I have more kids, the babies become easier and easier to care for - it's the other kids that make life hard. If only I could go back to one baby with what I know now :)
Lots of falling asleep while putting baby to sleep.
Morgan turned 7 a few weeks after Charlie was born, and she probably wouldn't have had any kind of celebration if it weren't for family and friends. They took over and organized a wonderful doll's tea party and all I did was make a cake. It takes a village.
Kate found a pumpkin just her size - on our bishop's porch. You'd better believe that it came home with her.
Morgan has officially left princesses behind just as Kate is entering the stage. And poor Sam got to find something out of the dress-up box. I'm pretty unapologetic about my lack of Halloween spirit. But they all had costumes, and I took them trick or treating, so I call that a win.
