Back in the saddle again....

I took a vacation, better yet my brain and my creativity (the VERY little I have) took a vacation.  They are back though.  People asked me what I thought about having 3 kids after Madelyn was  born, I told them it was pretty easy because Grace and Thaddeus are so old and can take care of themselves.  After about 4 1/2 months of sleep deprivation, I am singing a different tune :)  Madelyn is sleeping better, although crying as I write this because she is too tired to realize she is tired, he, he, he.  We started "sleep training" a couple weeks ago.  Makes for a happier momma and she is actually happier too.  (used ideas from a book here, used it with TD as well and he is a SUPER sleeper!!)

Madelyn is 5 months old tomorrow.  I have begun to give her large pieces of raw fruits and vegetables to gum while I am busy cooking or doing dishes.  She likes them.  Except this apple.  I can imagine her threatening something and the apple begging for mercy :)

Thaddeus needs a haircut.  We combed his hair forward so he would look like Joseph Smith :)

My hippie daughters.  We went to the track to ride bikes and I made them flower crowns. 

 

Grace starts kindergarten next week.  I am excited to have one less child running around for a couple hours a day, I am not looking forward to all the anxiety of wondering everything from whether or not she'll be kidnapped to whether or not she'll have any friends!  Woe is me!
