"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. It is, after all, mostly little, common things that make up our lives."

Exciting happenings from this past week!














We are all adjusting to life as a family of five! Wow, that is hard to believe. Ashlynn has enjoyed her first week of summer. It has been nice to not worry about getting up for school each day. Ashlynn and Eli have had a fun time playing with the sprinkler and pool in the yard. Eli absolutely loved being outside and in the water! He had so much fun. Isaac is doing great. He has had a few nights that were difficult, but for the most part he is sleeping a 3 1/2-4 hour stretch at night. If it wasn't for our families, we would all be exhausted! The grandmas have kept our household running by finishing laundry and dishes each time they are here. The grandpas have provided yummy lunches and dinners just when we needed them! So thankful for family!

Ashlynn also got her second visit from the tooth fairy this week. After two days of having a very loose tooth, she finally tugged to get it out! Life with three children is never boring, and sometimes crazy, but we are enjoying the ride!

Sweet pictures of Isaac. I love the one with Ashlynn and Nick all snuggled up on the bed beside him.
I still think that Isaac is going to have his own "face", although he looks like different ones at different times. All of us want to claim that he favors us. Can't wait til he starts seeing faces and connecting them with voices. He is such a sweetheart. Love, CC

The pictures of Ashlynn and Eli at their pool were cute, cute, cute. That Ashlynn is going to be a heart throb one of these days. She looked like "Esther Williams" coming down that slide. (who the heck is Esther Williams?) Can't wait to see how Eli takes to swimming lessons. I wonder if they would let me take lessons at the same time as the kids? Don't guess so, huh? Love, CC
