There's just somethin

about havin baby Ryker around to love on. . .

Ainsley loved on him and made him into what she called an Egyptian baby :)

Porter loved on Ryker by putting Trey's shoes on him :)
And we love on him with kisses, lullaby singing, finger holding, mirror smiling, baby/baby nursery smelling. . mmmm :) and occasional smashing by his big bros

My mom always said every age was her favorite and it is true. . .

these girls are so fun right now. . .

but there's also just somethin about you, baby. . .

Thank you God for the gift of our children!!

Even when it sometimes feels like they are all over. . .well, I guess that's because they ARE all over. Sometimes our house is complete calm. . sometimes it is complete chaos. I guess that's to be expected with 4 kids 7 and under!

New videos. . .please excuse the mom with the baby talk voice ;) http://www.youtube.com/my_videos?feature=mhum

Scattered Joy

This post is scattered photos from here and there. . .and it's quite fitting for this time in our life :) But as I often feel scattered, there are those moments of joy, when I grab the camera. . .

and capture some of our daily moments. Even a late night mac n cheese snack. . .Sometimes my camera isn't handy. . .like today as I watched Ainsley skip/run with a bounce in her step into Art, while blowing many kisses back at us. And sometimes those moments of joy are in what they say, like Trey saying, "Hey daddy, that little guy is Ryker!" But those moments of joy are most definitely scattered amongst our day! You know, in between the whining, arguing and such :)
