Life with three...

So far!

Things are going really well. I think because of my better understanding of the stage Elliott is in (which was very new to me when he was born and Brooks was in it) and my "different" expectations for what life would look like around here. Both Brooks and Elliott LOVE Shepard (or Fluffy-as Elliott calls him) and want to hold him and touch him and kiss him and love him and hold him and hold him! But who wouldn't!?!


Brooks is 39.5 months and so busy! He just moves constantly. He loves puzzles and cars/trucks and Oeoeos (Oreos).

Elliott is 21.5 months. He's starting to talk a lot and mimics Brooks (words like what? And ummm) and Shepard (crying and grunting)! He is a tough kid and has a bruise on his forehead permanently.

Shepard is 6 weeks and is a great baby. We have been so blessed with great babies. He eats like a champ, sleeps great in between feelings and is really starting to smile and coo. Poor little guy has had a cold since he was born (it seems), but that's probably inevitable with two olders and being born in the winter.


We are having a great time over here!

Wonderful pictures from an experienced Mom who is lowering her expectations of how life "should look like" to a much more realistic view. Enjoy these precious times. So happy that you can be home with your sons. :)
