I been working!

Whew! It stays busy around here. Work is great but I am exhausted. By the time everyone is down for the night, I am right behind them. That means there hasn't been time nor energy for stuff like blog updating. I think I've only taken pics of the kiddos once or twice during the past month; gotta learn Daddy how to pick up the camera and record those daily moments.

Daddy is finding caring for 6 kids a bit rough. No comment from me on his not taking advice on how to better handle things. I can sympathize, because I know it is difficult, but when I share strategies that worked during the weeks I was doing it, he ignores me, so...

The kids:

Hunter finally lost a tooth. I'd take a picture, but it doesn't look like much because the permanent tooth was already half-way in when it fell out.

Hannah had been bugging me about wanting short hair, so I cut it for her. It's really cute! She'll get it trimmed up before school starts, but I did a pretty good job. The only picture I have is on my cell phone; I'll have to take one soon.

Jamie spent her usual week at camp recently. Lots more older kids there this year; she was one of the youngest instead of one of the oldest. Lots of boys, too, apparently. Sheesh.

Babies: They are 5 months old now. They went to the pediatrician just last week. Now one of our concerns all along has been that Emily is still so tiny. We'd been weighing them at home and the last time, about 5 weeks ago, she hadn't even reached 10 lbs yet. Well last week she was over 12 lbs! Yeah, Em! The pedi said as long as she continues on an upward curve it was fine. Speaking of which, they all on the normal growth charts now, though Em is just 10% for weight. Cooper was 16 lbs and 21 inches, Molly 15 lbs and 24 inches. So they are close, but Coopy is more compact. Hence why Daddy calls him "boat anchor".

We got high chairs:

and a bumbo seat

and we can hold stuff

and we tried some cereal

with which we were not impressed.

And last but not least, we got a nephew/cousin. (L to R Bella, Lillie, Abby, Mom Angie with baby Jack)

So that's what we've been up to :)
