Quick 2 week update!

Kenzie is officially two weeks old today! She had her two week check up and is doing great. She is up to 7 pounds 15 oz. and 20 and 1/2 inches long. I guess all that eating she is doing is really paying off. She is still a very good baby and loves to sleep. She can sleep through anything during the day and actually does OK at night too. We are still adjusting to broken sleep but we are getting by. All the boys are doing great. Cameron starts 3rd grade in one week! I am very ready. He definitely needs the structure and routine of the school year and so do I. I do think the twins are going to miss him during the day though and I am sure I will miss my helper too. Other then that it is crazy busy and I will try to post more pictures soon.

So far SO GOOD!

Everyone here is doing wonderful. We had a super first weekend home with Kenzie and all the boys seem to be adjusting. It sure helps that so far Kenzie has been a great eater and sleeper. Cameron loves his little sister so much and has been the best helper ever. Clayton and Calvin both ask where the baby is all the time and seem interested in her. Calvin asks to hold her a lot and does very well with this. Ben and I are both getting some sleep and that makes this whole process much easier. Kenzie has her first Doctor appointment tomorrow and she will be one week old. It is already going by so fast. I wish I could slow it all down some times. Time to run again. Baby would like to eat!!!

Cameron opening presents!



Happy Birthday to Cameron. He turned 8 today and yesterday we had a wonderful birthday party for him. It went great even with the rain in the morning and then the very warm and sticky afternoon. Cam had a good time and all the other kids did great as well. I took it pretty easy and everyone else helped a ton. We put a little plastic pool under the slide and let the kids go to town. It was so funny to watch. The kids all seemed to have a blast.
Today Ben spent most of the day cleaning up and making sure everything else is ready for the baby. Tomorrow we don't have anything planned. Grandpa Dick is coming to help during the day and then I hoping for a quiet last night at home before baby. Tuesday we are off to meet the baby. Can't wait to fill everyone in on the details!!! Talk to everyone soon.
