Have you ever seen this before?

Here is an EARLY shout out to the worlds largest couch! Seriously, my bro-in-law Todd wins the award for the largest couch. It has 17 seat cushions and 21 back cushions. This truly can fit ALL of our family including the kids...not even squished! I can now see why he was excited to have us move out of his basement!!! He's been dreaming of this "theater" room for FOUR years and FINALLY he gets to enjoy his dream. I'm sure he misses us, but honestly to have a seat to watch a movie at his house will be great. I just had to post this because it's been such a fun thing to experience. When the new paint is up, movie pictures on the wall, popcorn popper up and ready and all the other great ideas he has for this room is finished I will take better pictures but until then, props to Todd for this great room! (or should I say Shandra for letting him fulfill his life long dream?) Either way, it will be LOVED by all of us!!! :)

My sweet baby...

I must admit some of my favorite days in life have been the Sundays I get to stay home with my newborn babies. I love to hold them for the three hours in peace and quiet. I also love the time I'm able to spend, thinking, pondering and writing in my journal on these days. It's amazing how time just passes so quickly in life. I just melt as I hold my little ones and think of the instant love I have for them. It's amazing how humbling it is to hold these sweet little angels.

He has been eating every three hours during the day. At night he does a 4-5 hour stretch then it's on the dot back to three hours. Several people have asked me how three kids are...well, I've lucked out having several people help me. This week will be the adventure, so I will report next week. I haven't had to cook yet...I took a week off from all jobs, activities, etc. Jared's back to work - normal schedule. So bring on bed time and all three kids, cooking, cleaning and all those other things mommies do every day! Wish me luck.

Caleb is a precious little guy. He's content, happy, eats well and I feel sleeps very well for a newborn. He does not enjoy bath time or diaper changes. He's very sensitive to changing his clothing, cold wipes, and baths.

He is very content and alert. He has dark eyes (They remind me of Alayna's eyes) and when he is awake he looks all around. I will keep all my extra mushy thoughts and feelings to my personal journal entries, but let's just say he has a special, extra special place in my heart.

Duck Tape...

My dad thought my kids were being a little too much like kids (NOISY!!!)...so here is another use for duck tape! This is only the beginning of noisy children! I wish you the best of luck!!!

Alayna thought it was funny.

Jake didn't understand it. He kept trying to put the duck tape back on, but the sticky side was stuck on his fingers.
