Our Latest Pictures

It's been several months since my last post, obviously. I've had a really hard time adjusting to four children. Most people say that the transition from two to three children is the most difficult. Well, for me, it's been three to four. Maybe it's because my children are so close together in age. Bill and I wanted a big family, and we are no spring chickens. So we didn't have much of an option. I have thank you notes and birth announcements sitting on my desk that have yet to be mailed. I have constant loads of laundry. (I forget how much laundry one little person can make.) My house is not even close to being as clean as I'd like it. There are many projects I'd like to get to that will have to wait.....



I've heard the question a lot, "Have you noticed a big difference between boys and girls?" Aside from the obvious, no differences yet. Well, I guess there is one. The difference is that my diaper changing skills have gotten much faster out of necessity. No time to waste. Off with the old and on with the new. Other than that, I'm sure the differences will appear soon. Chase is a sweet baby, and is getting big quickly. While I'm sad that the new baby phase is ending, I'm grateful that he's sleeping more. He smiles a lot, and giggles occasionally. When that happens, all of the above mentioned chores are forgotten. His big sisters seem to like him okay. Logan walks around with him everywhere. Makenna has become quite the little housekeeper, and not so much the caretaker of the baby. Sage, well, she tolerates him. She adored him for about ten days. After that, she was not too enthusiastic. She walks around telling people that she's a baby. She wants a bottle and won't have anything to do with potty training. If someone should happen to say that she's a "big girl" she really lets them have it.

Here are some pictures of the things going on around here. Here are some pictures of the things going on around here.

They both look equally pleased with each other, don't they?
