our adventure

we had a great opportunity to watch clark and susy's (spencer's brother and sister-in-law) kids for two days and two nights (sun night, mar 18, through tues, mar 20). before sunday night i had a few waves of fear come over me that made me wonder if i could pull it off. it was quite the adventure. monday morning spencer left at 7a (right after rylee and kamryn woke up) and didn't get back until after all the kids were asleep (due to a test review he had that night). we had a great time, but talk about baptism by fire!

i have a new-found respect for mothers of multiple children (and i can't forget mothers of twins - benny and cannon are only 4 1/2 months apart). you are all amazing for what you do and what you have done.
i'm looking forward to watching bethany and nate's kids in the next couple of months (that will be completely alone!) and clark and susy's kids again in august (that time for about 1 1/2 weeks).

benny is getting more and more interested in solid foods. he was enjoying a biter biscuit (thanks, again, courtnie!) that he got all over himself!

kamryn was having a good time with our activity. we made a clay-like turtle and fish that can be turned into magnets.

rylee and kamryn.

it was hard to get a good picture of cannon because he kept getting closer and closer to the camera. he's so smiley!

benny loved plaing in the exersaucer. he had a great time standing and bouncing up and down. it really wore him out, and he took a great nap that afternoon, and he slept really well that night.

benny is still trying to figure out what to do on the grass.


cannon has it all figured out...


i just love this picture of kamryn.
