Catching up!

The boys are 9 1/2 weeks OLD!!!! They are over 2 months old now! I seriously cannot believe how fast it is all going by! Our summer has been surprisingly smooth. My husband had over a month off to be with the boys and help the transition, and it was all paid! We felt very blessed. We've been on many trips to the park, we went to two fairs (the county, and the state fair) We took Ronan to the Air show, the twins have even crossed a state line already and visited Washington to meet family. I even took them all to the park on my own for the first time. I was super excited and proud of myself :)

I love watching our family grow!!! I also love watching Ronan develop a relationship with his new brothers, and love on them :)
Ronan loves holding the boys, kissing them, taking baths and giving bottles. Every night after bath we all pile onto Ronan's bed (we moved the queen sized guest bed to his room- he will sleep on his toddler bed in the babies' room when guests stay over) and we all snuggle in the big bed, and read books in our jammies, followed by family prayer time. It's a wonderful night time routine. Our life is so busy, but bursting with love. Somehow Brian and I even find time together, and it just seems to be better than ever! I am so in love with my family, so in love with my husband, and so in love with my Lord who has given me this small taste of Heaven.

7 weeks!

Can it really be??? Has it really been 5 weeks since my last post? Life with 3 kids under 3 is.... Crazy!!!!!!!! I feel so very very blessed, but holy cow, a minute to myself is so hard to find! I have been extremely lucky to have my MIL staying with us for a few weeks. Helping us make a schedule for the boys. The hardest time is feeding time. I was so frustrated about nursing. It just wasn't happening the way I had hoped. The boys take over an hour to nurse, and then still want to be " topped off" with a bottle. And with a very active 2 year running about, it was just overwhelming. I decided to just pump my milk and do bottle feeds. I still comfort nurse, but this is just what is working for us right now. Kaden is such a tiny little peanut, although I have a feeling he has a growth spurt coming up. Trystan is a little moose!!! He is so chunky compared to his older, more petite brother haha. They really couldn't be more different and I am loving that about them. Ronan is a fantastic older brother. He loves to help and give them hugs and kisses. Our family is going through a whole host of changes right now, but they are all good ones. Well, I am done pumping, so I have to sign off for now. I will try to post a few pics later :)
