The last few weeks have been such a blur, but I will do my best to document them with pictures...
The babies' cords finally fell off, so bath time was imminent! Neither James or Julia had any complaints, although I wouldn't say that they loved their "tub time." My "helper," Emmy was in the middle of the mix as well (every time I turn around, there she is!) I had to fight her for the bath supplies because it seemed she thought she was going to be the one bathing them...
 |
| My other helper, Hannah. She was hard at work unloading my cabinet. |
 |
| Shampooing those golden locks. |
 |
| I attempted to place James in Hannah's arms and she kind of flopped him over. I'll be sure not to do that again any time soon. |
 |
| Emmy, on the other hand, was elated to hold them both at once. |
 |
| Mimi and all the babies, she has taken such incredible care of each and every one of us. |
 |
Auntie Kristi came to join us for a few days (thank the Lord for Grandma Sacksteder who watched the Sacksteder children so that Kris could make the trip out!) Both of my girls idolize Auntie Kristi.
|
 |
| Kris' newest fans. |
 |
| Kris mastering the double feeding. |
 |
| Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Jules. |
 |
| Surrounded by love. |
 |
| Auntie Kristi took Emmy to the library to stock up on new books, and then read them all to her over a popcorn and lemonade snack. |
 |
| We went to a local pumpkin patch with the Sacksteder crew. I won't lie, it wasn't our best outing between chasing a pouty Sissy, getting lost in a scary clown "maze" and Clairey puking all over Kris. Nick carried the twins in the new large Baby K'tan that I accidentally bought from a consignment sale without taking note of the size. So glad one of us fits in it. I kept giving him the stink eye from afar as he stood in the shade with the twins and I was truckin' all over the patch chasing an over-tired Sissy. :-P |
 |
| Shared feeding time. Not very lady-like, but it gets the job done! |

 |
| Another Kris photo...This was before our outing began to unravel. |
 |
| Mimi loving on James. |
 |
| My sweet boy. |
 |
| Our tiny Jules has the biggest, most beautiful eyes. :) |
 |
| Auntie Kristi's handiwork...BRILLIANT! |
 |
| Andy inducting James into the man club. No doubt he is grateful to get their membership up! |
 |
| Clairey and Jules are pretty in purple...Grandma Sack is there for support. :) |
 |
| The boys! |
 |
| A little out of order...Back to the pumpkin patch! |
 |
| I love Sissy trying to reach the hole. :) |
 |
| Our brood! |
 |
| Emmy actually asked me to take her picture and then offered up a non-silly face???? |
