Life with three 2 year olds!

THANK you for all your prayers, email, phone calls, and even a few dinners this past week. We have been home now just over a week, and things are starting to settle down. Dave and Barb left Tuesday morning. Barb was an absolute God send. I couldn't begin to list the many ways she helped us, and I couldn't have done it without her! (today is my first day solo until my Mom arrives on Friday) My hats off to all you Moms of large families! It certainly is an art to have some sort of controlled chaos! I have a true appreciation for the Moms at our co-op, many with more than 4 children, that always look put together, with wonderfully behaved children. (we're not quite there yet! HA)

How are we? We're settling in! We've had some rough patches with two new 2 year olds running around, but nothing out of the ordinary for kids that have no understanding of our house rules, boundaries, balanced eating, etc. Ezra and Feven have made tremendous progress. Law and Maisy enjoy their new brother and sister, and are doing well with the changes. Ezra and Feven are both eating and sleeping well, which is fabulous.

I have been enjoying the good life with two children out of diapers for over a year...no diaper bag, no sippy cups or bottles, no stroller. Our food and diaper/wipe budget has just increased enormously! :) Even in the midst of our adjustment, we are THANKFUL that God led us to adopt 2 children. We can see their comfort in each other with similar words or sounds! Thank you for your continued prayers as we transition into a family of 6! (here are a few pictures from the past week!)






My first attempt at Feven's hair. I only got to the front 2 sections! For those of you who know me, and know how much I work on my hair, I'm sure this is funny to you!

Barb tackled the back two sections for me a few days later!Boys play crocodile.Ezra has LOTS of personality.
Sand box fun!
