Adjusting to life with three boys!

We are trying to adjust to life with three boys. Trying as it may be some days it is a true blessing that we do not want to take for granted. Rylan is getting so big. He was 9lbs. 4 oz. at 3 weeks and just over 21 inches long. He is doing well and we have discovered he loves to sleep on his belly...with close monitoring of course as it still makes me nervous! The other boys are loving preschool and daycare. Kaiden is in Pre-K now and he loves his teacher Ms. Sherri. She is amazing and I am so glad that he his in her class. Hunter is still learning how to be around Rylan, but he does love to give him kisses. I will always take kisses over hits! :) I am not looking forward to going back to work. I like to be at home and make dinner and be with my family in the evenings. Things will definately pick up as Jerry gets ready to kick off the school year with youth and as they are doing a Pumpkin Patch fundraiser for the youth the entire month of October!! I don't think that we will see him all that much. Kaiden will also be in soccer on Tuesday nights. I am hoping and praying that something can be worked out with my schedule at work so that I do not have to work evenings. We will see and I will have to trust that God has a plan for our family. I would go insane if I didn't trust in him!

Rylan is finally here!

We are happy to announce that Rylan James made his appearance on July 28th at 2:35pm. He was a whopping 8 lbs. 4 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. He is the biggest boy yet! (Kaiden being 5lbs. 3 oz. and Hunter being 7 lbs. 13 oz. ) He is normally a very laid back baby unless getting his diaper changed or a bath. :) The boys are taking to him rather well. Kaiden is hitting a whiny adjustment phase or an I am 4 phase...not sure which yet. Hunter like to look at him and poke him. He will also try to bring him things when he is upset which is funny. I walked into the baby's room one day but Hunter had beat me to it and there were toys all over as Hunter was throwing things in the crib to make his brother happy. Very cute.....as soon as I confirmed that nothing had hit the baby's head! All in all, we are doing well. I am excited to show pictures as this blog hasn't let me upload pictures in so long!!! Maybe it will lead to more blogging in the future. :)















Kaiden introducing everyone to Rylan and holding him for the first time. He is so excited to have his little brother here.
