WE ARE FAM-I-LY....

The babies are all finally home. We couldn't be happier. Allison is doing great. A little bit of acting out the first night and every so often, but that's to be expected. She must be trying to get some attention for herself because yesterday for the first time, she went on the big girl potty 2 times! We are so proud of her! Not to mention, it would be great to only have 3 in diapers, rather than 4:) So far, it hasn't been too hard except for the middle of the night feedings. Besides that, they just eat, sleep, and poop :) We were told only to hold them while feeding them for the first few weeks because we don't want them to get overstimulated...they just need to rest and grow. I'm sure it will get A LOT harder when they get a little older and are awake more and are more vocal.

Jim is off all next week...guess I need to get the 'Help Wanted' sign up sheet ready for the next week! And we are excepting visitors, but we are saying no kids for now (for a few weeks) and no one that is sick or has a sick person at home. Just give us a call because they can't be in crowds either. It kind of stinks that they were born in the winter during RSV season because I just want everyone to meet them---I know everyone has been waiting patiently. But, we just want what is best for our babies and for them to be healthy and grow. Soooo, sorry for all of the rules and we hope everyone understands!

Just to be fair, I'll post some pictures of Jenna coming home and her with Allison.

The babies are adorable. They just keep getting prettier each day. So glad they are all home now. You all look so happy. Alli looks so cute holding the babies. You all look like you're playing with baby dolls. Ha, ha.
Looks like you and Jim have everything under control. Let me know when you want me to come over to help. Lots of Love,

Great Aunt Joan

Love the pix, have fun scrapbooking now, ha! Let us know what is the biggest help - precooked meals? Just say what you like! Pick up and drop off laundry service? That works too! We will miss you at night at the races!!!!
