The first 2 weeks...

OK, so these first couple weeks with 3 kids has been quite a change...at least bigger than we thought going from 2 to 3 would be.  It's been terrific & trying, fun & frustrating, marvelous & mayhem, cool & crazy, tremendous & tiring.  (The boys are every second word of those examples).

Hey people, thanks very much for the visits, the gifts, the calls, the packages, the cards and notes of encouragement, and the e-mails and comments!  Much appreciated.


Comments from the peanut gallery:

Angie - I feel like I'm in a daze and this has been 1 really, really long day.  But I am enthralled with little Araya Hope, and I think she was worth the pain now.  I am not 100% on that yet though.

Todd - Week 1: Hmm, well this will be interesting...I will be spending a lot of time looking after these boys.  Well, I am up for the challenge.  I can do this.  It'll be fun!

           Week 2:  Who signed me up for this parental leave jazz?  When can I go back to work?

Truan - I wanna hold the baby (repeat 4x).  Hey dad, wanna go downstairs with me and play semis? (repeat many times each day).

Trusty - Da-da.  Da-da.  (Repeat every 30 seconds, and every time he sees da-da or a picture of dada or any male {i.e. the dude on the Bee Maid honey jar for example}).

Araya - Zzzzzz.....waaaaaaaaaahhhhh!  (repeat)


Enjoy the pics!
