We are settling into life as a family of 5. It is different, but it is good! Today we had a great day! I can sit back and think that I got to spend individual time with each of my kids. I saw them enjoy the day in their own way.
One of the fun activities of the day was Darren found some old walkie-talkies. Kacy thought that these were awesome! She spent a large part of the day running around the house talking to us. Another highlight was playing hide-and-go-seek with them. We still have to work on making sure we are always being truthful in our answers.
Sara on the other hand is a lot more independent. She spent a lot of the day doing her own thing. Playing in her kitchen, cleaning her chair, watering her plants, really just living in her own imagination. Sara pretty much keeps us laughing all the time. She is very dramatic and has a mind of her own. She pretty much says everything that she thinks.
Ethan had a good day too. He pretty much spent the day eating, sleeping, and getting his diaper changed. He got up and played a little bit with his sisters. They spent some good time on the floor just staring at each other. Both girls right now are absolutely obsessed with their baby brother. They love to hug/kiss him, feed him, hold him, and wake him up! :) It is fun to see them so excited about him.
Darren and I too had good days. It was one of those days that at the end we think...it is going to work. We are going to be able to manage all three kids. It is has been great to have all of us at home and to work together to build our new family dynamics and routines. This really is a special time and I'm trying to cherish every moment!
