First vs Fourth

First Child vs Fourth Child

1st child:
-Each day is greeted with a beautiful designer outfit
- Diapers get changed every hour on the hour
- The smallest of squeaks sends mom running to the rescue
- Paci's get washed each time it touches something that isn't the baby's mouth
- Bedtime routine involves a soothing bath and lotion every night



4th Child:
-I think we took off his pj's at 6:30pm when it got pee'd on
He still didn't get dressed... a new onsie will do
- Which brings me to the diaper changes... It's been a while, I should probably go do that now!
- I found that the baby will fall asleep after about 8 minutes of crying.  Not to shabby!
- Yes, i have licked the paci clean and given it to the baby, and I'm guessing the toddlers have to...
-I'm sure the baby had a bath this week, right? Or was that last week?
-Bedtime routine = is the baby sleeping? quick, time for me to go to bed too since he's probably still in his pj's from the night before!

Labor Day weekend

We headed north for a fun (and busy) weekend away!
 
Whoa, it's all my kids smiling (kind of)!

The fam...


Ella and Ty were building things out of the wood.

We did enjoy our weekend.  We had a nice, fully furnished condo and the kids stayed entertained while we were there.  The beach and lake were fantastic.  Tripp made his first trip to the beach. However, I didn't have a bathing suit in a newborn size, so he didn't get wet.  Peter and Ella also swam in the condo pool.  We spend time outside on a "tractor hayride" as Ty called it.  We also got ice cream and went to story time.  It was very busy, but worth it!

Up in the air!


Peter and the 3 kids took a morning to attend a flying fundraiser.  They were able to take a ride in a leer jet with Grandpa, Aunt Barb and Heidi.  Here are a few pics from the morning!

Ella, are you ready? You look a bit nervous.  However, I hear that you were pretty excited.  We just caught this moment on camera instead.

I hear that Cort didn't let go of daddy the entire flight...
