Life As We Now Know It...


Well, this is the third attempt at updating my blog...maybe today I can finally get it done! All three boys are sleeping, so I must hurry before one of them awakes!

We are finally all getting into some sort of routine and the boys are adjusting well to Asher! They are a bit more interested in him everyday...very sweet! Joel is the unofficial "pacifier giver" for Asher. Anytime Asher is crying, you can bet Joel is going to try to give him the pacifier, after putting his own dirty fingers all over it!...it's the thought that counts!

Sam and Joel are spending much of their days outside! They are loving it and Mommy is too! The weather has really been great and so they are having a blast and getting into all sorts of trouble when Mommy's not looking! (such as the dog's water bowl and mud) Overall it has been so neat to watch our little "Bubbas" become the best of buds since Asher arrived! They really play well together and have leaned on each other during this transition time...a true evidence of God's grace!

Asher is figuring out life...slowly. He eats well, sleeps pretty well, but doesn't "play" very well yet at all! The few moments of contentment he has are treasured by us all and we anticipate more of them as Asher gets older! He's already 5 weeks...hard to believe! But what a cutie and joy he is!

Well, I hope you enjoy the pics of our daily life and please forgive me for taking so long to update you...I will TRY to do better!









"Working" on their laptops!



More "working like Daddy"!
















Sam's masterpiece tower!
"Ta-da!"


The new look!





Freshly painted toes...at last!

your toes look beautiful- it is nice to be able to reach them, isn't it? i'm glad to see that you are learning to handle the "new normal" as a mama of three. asher is precious, as are joel and samuel. my girls started playing well together about the time that little sam came along, so i understand how thankful you are that they are enjoying each other.

So great to see everyone ... even if just your toes got in there!! Sam and Joel look great ... and Asher looks to be getting the hang of this "life business". Give him enough time, and he'll have it all under control for sure!!

Give everyone a big hug and kiss from their Aunt Judy ... can hardly wait to see everyone!!

Love ... Judy

So great to hear from you guys! Sounds like maybe you are starting to emerge from the newborn baby "fog"? I think I was in it for MONTHS after Ronan was born, and that was just with two! You all look great (as does the blog's new look!). Asher is adorable, and it's great to hear how well the Sam and Joel are doing. I've been thinking of you, and praying that all is well. God bless!
