Growing Growing

Last Friday, Miss Madelyn Jewel turned 3. Wow! My big girl. Saturday we celebrated her birthday. She had so much fun!





We borrowed a bouncy house, which is one of Madelyn's favorite things. It was hard to get her out of there!


She & her friends also enjoyed playing on the playset.



Here is her special birthday cupcake, per her request. Confetti cake with cream cheese icing, sprinkles, and a Rapunzel ring.



She still doesn't like getting her hands dirty...




She had so many presents! And there was absolutely nothing she didn't enjoy.







The boys were 8 weeks old on her birthday. Time is going too fast! Here is Dalton, who has chunked up quite a bit!



And Braden, my little wide-eyed wonder.



This week, I started back to work. It was sad leaving my 3 loves, but I could tell by my kids at work I was very missed. This week also marked the start of a new school for Madelyn & the boys. We were sad to leave the old one, but I think she may enjoy the new one even more! She cried the first day for about 2 minutes, but then she was fine the other 2 days. Hopefully that trend will continue. I have some pictures of her first day that I'll post later.

Twin Life (Wait, we're a family of 5 now?!)


So I frequently get the question, "How is life with twins?" I can honestly say that it's not as crazy as I thought it would be. For the most part, the boys are pretty laid back & easy. Sometimes it's still hard to wrap my head around the fact that we have 3 children. Things are definitely busy, but it hasn't been as difficult of an adjustment as we had anticipated. Braden is generally laid back & the sleeper of the 2. Dalton has been a little needy, probably due the fact that he has had some reflux issues. Some days are better than others, and hopefully it will be gone soon. It really makes him (and us) miserable. They eat what seems to be constantly, and they are definitely growing. Now I will bombard you with new pics =)
