There are so many details and emotions to deal with at our house lately. Each of the kids are going through their own emotions since baby Griffin came to join our clan. Jackson is the protective brother and often gets sent to the back burner because he is the most independant (sorry oldest child). Dylan is stubborn as ever, but will sometimes ease up for a moment. Our sweet little Alex has gone through a whole rainbow of emotions. At first she was suddenly a baby again. I could see the panic in her eyes when she would say, "Hold me Mama, I'm your baby!" I reassured her that we were still completely in love with her. Then she moved on to only communicating with screams and cries, that was a fun few days. Now she is back to, " I'm not a baby! I'm a big girl!", and we are grateful for this. Love you kids!
Now let's talk about details. Everytime I have had a baby I am reminded of all the details. I feel like I need a baby survival tool belt to carry all my supplies. Diapers, wipes, burp cloth, bouncer chair, etc. I left the house today with all four kids. I felt like I was on the ball and ready to face any challenge. So I am driving in the car singing with the kids and feeling pretty good and oops, I forgot the nursing pads, dang! Don't you just hate it when you forget one of the details? Well, I made it for a while, but then sprung a leak during lunch with Devin and two of his co-workers. I'm sure no one noticed, right? Next time I will put that detail at the top of my list.

Ariane, you're such a trooper! You're my inspiration to have another... maybe! Your kids are just so dang cute! Are those little curlers in their hair? We need to have you guys over! Lets set a date ASAP! Please call me if you need a nap! The kids can come & do slip 'n slide or just play anytime!
Don't you just hate the fact that you "sprung a leak!" One of the many joys, right?
