Big Changes #3

And now we're home as a family of four (and Gramma makes 5)!

  They weren't kidding when they said that going from zero kids to one is much easier than going from one to two!  How does a mom handle it??  Well, for this first four weeks, thankfully I have my own mom around.

Gramma and G

  Such a HUGE help, she is!  She did all my laundry, cooked my meals, did the dishes, took E out to the park and to the library and endlessly played with her, took G from me so I could shower or sleep or eat, cleaned my house, gave me advice about…everything and kept me laughing (which wasn't always good because of my stitches).  And when the time came, she ventured out of the house with me, lifting all my groceries in and out of the car and carrying my son in his carseat.  WOW, what a woman!

Mom and I went to Cocok's for a little relaxation

  We've had a bunch of visitors since we got home: Jake and Maggie, Ciara and Natalia, the Donaldson Family, The Coia Family, Shawn, Megan and Camryn, Jared and Shelley and Michelle, Autumn and Austin.  How blessed we are!!

Austin's first time to ever hold a baby!

Camryn said, "oooh, the baby is moving!"

  Life around here is VERY busy.  

catching sleep whenever we can!

    But we're slowly getting used to having a baby screaming while a toddler is dancing and singing at the top of her lungs.  Someday, this will all be normal!  But it's just another step in THE GODDARD ADVENTURE!
