Lately

The last three weeks have gone so quickly. We love having Miss Ivy here...it has been an adjustment for everyone for sure! Emery was horrible for a few days but is doing much better. She has found a whole new level of energy and wildness (I didn't know that was actually possible:) but is behaving much better than when Ivy first arrived! Davis has had a hard time in his own way, too. He has had an 'attitude' and hasn't been super obedient. We are working on it! He asked me the other day when he can get his own phone. I seriously feel like I have a mini teenager on my hands already.

This is what happens when Dad is in charge...he actually sent the kids to play outside looking like this. Hopefully no neighbors were out to see them! Aren't those the best outfits you have ever seen?


I tried to get a picture of Ivy the other day and this was all I could get! She has had a hard time during the day-wants to be held all day long and cries a lot if you put her down. She also has a hard time going to sleep. It has been better the last couple of days, thank goodness.



Valentines day was low key for us but Steve and I did get to go out to dinner since my mom was here and volunteered to watch the kids. Steve got me these amazing flowers and I am still enjoying them.
My little valentines...wow, Emery has some serious bed head from her nap!



My wonderful mom came to stay with us for a week and we loved every second of her being here. I wish she could have stayed for much much longer! The kids had a great time making valentines cookies with her among many other things that they did together!

I am still trying to figure out the 3 kid thing...we haven't left the house much but I have survived a week now on my own (since my mom went home). Steve has to go out of town for a few nights soon and I am pretty nervous about that...but we will make it! I have felt so blessed to have such amazing friends who have helped me with my kids and bringing us meals. It has made such a difference...thank you! I seriously have the most amazing people around me and have felt so much love from them.
