Yvette's pics part I

Sweet Yvette took these pics last time she was here. I love them and already have some framed on our wall. You will see more soon. Thanks Yvette!

BTW the perfect family picture is impossible now that we have 5 people. But we will keep trying.

bath in the sink

I have great memories of giving each of the boys a bath in the kitchen sink in our old house. I decided on a day Harrison and Jackson were watching Word Girl, I would do this with Max. I could take pictures and just enjoy the time with Max. I was wrong. There was no quiet time, no alone time with Max. As soon as Harrison walked into the kitchen for one of his endless snacks and saw what I was doing....it was all over. Both boys were naked behind me, climbing the sink, and all trying to get into the sink. Shaun was not home, so this was a bit of a challenge (as is all the things with three boys.) Oh well, this is the best I could do. I was so worried someone would slip off the counter, crush Max or get water everywhere. Yes, all of those did occur, no matter how much I tried to prevent it. But all survived!

July 3rd 2010

Our little neighborhood has the best July 4th celebration. There is a small parade and party afterwards. This is our third year going, but our first year not walking in the parade. We thought it would be just too hot for little Max. Life is wonderful right now. We have really enjoyed the last 4 weeks off from work together. It has been wonderful having Shaun home. He goes back to work this week. Boo Hoo. Max is 10 months old this week. Wow, time is flying by. Three boys is hard, loud, stressful, fun and crazy. I'm up for the challenge.
