Easter Blessings

Emmy, Molly and Darla and I have been crashing at our second home with the Sacksteder family since last Friday!  They have welcomed us with open arms and have been spoiling us rotten since the moment we got here!  We have been counting our blessings this Easter holiday...

I survived my first extended roadtrip with all my girls!  Molly assumed her usual position in my lap, Darla settled into her bed on the passenger seat, and Emmy hunkered down for a good nap all before we left our driveway.  The drive went exceptionally well! One stop and five hours later, we pulled into Kris and JP's driveway to be greeted by the whole clan!

We celebrated a special family Easter (the Easter Bunny was so good to us both!) and have been cherishing all of the togetherness.  One of the many wonderful benefits of us sharing this stage of parenthood is that there isn't any pressure...Someone is always napping or eating...Flexibility is the name of the game!  We are having a blast watching all of our babies get to know one another!  It warms the cockles of my heart!

Mom arrived yesterday (yay for spring break!)!  We are loving every second of it (I have been taking full advantage of all the extra hands to help me out!) Even though I am still spending a great deal of time extinguishing FRG "fires" (yep, my laptop made the trip too), I am proud to say that this fourth week of the deployment is by far and away the best one yet!

I will give a much more thorough update later, but Nick made me promise that I'd put up more pictures of our peanut.  Ask and you shall receive, my love:

Clairey has the best toys!

These two can't keep their hands off of eachother!
