I can't believe how fast summer is going by. It has been so fun having the kids around more and feeling like the day is ours.... keeping up with them has been tiring but these times you can't get back. I have been trying so hard to just enjoy Chloe. I always hate that first little bit when you bring a new baby home and the older baby sort of gets kicked out of their "baby" spot. My kids always tend to cling to their blankies a little extra in those first few weeks. I have been trying this summer to teach the kids to be a little more independent. I have realized I'm going to need their help more and more. Spencer, Brooke, & Makenzie have become really good at doing dishes, and changing diapers. It was fun today to walk in on Spencer changing a diaper without having to be asked! What a guy! :) We have done so much already this summer.... camping, biking, swimming, boating, visiting cousins etc. I continue to realize everyday just how blessed I am. How wonderful it is to be a Mother and to cuddle up with my kids and just enjoy them being children. It truly is my greatest joy in life. I have 80 days left until this new little girl arrives. It has been interesting to hear the kids' suggestions for names. Makenzie says we should name her Rexy. Pretty sure that isn't going to happen. Anyway, here are some pics of our summer so far.
Biking the Hiawatha with friends.... it was a blast!
