Home

Since we've been home, we've been fed so well!  This one's from Chad's work.

 We thoroughly enjoyed it. :)

Chad took a week and 2 days off work.  It was SO NICE to have him home!! When I have babies, all I want to do is hibernate with my little family.  I fall in love with each of them all over again.  And Chad was so helpful.  I didn't have to do anything but take care of Calvin.  And he loved it too.  His first day back to work, he came home clearly having missed the kiddos.  It was heavenly.  Seriously, if only we didn't have to have money to live the way we do...

And Chloe had her birthday.  Throughout the year, I managed to talk them down from a Monkey Joe's bash, house guests, and a home made birthday party.  But we still tried to make them feel special.  I decorated their bedroom door and her dinner chair.  Chad made a big breakfast with candles and presents.  He let me sleep in until everything was ready.

And the kids were so excited about the new toys that we didn't see them the rest of the day!  It was quite a nice mellow birthday bash.  Oh, and don't worry, I did make Chloe's requested kind of b-day cake for after dinner.  The pancake is just what we used for singing and candles.

And Everett's birthday is on Sunday.  He's excited to be sung to at church.

And Calvin... oye.  He's one high maintenance baby.  He cries if he's not being fed or held.  Oh, and he hates my Moby wrap that I LOVE.  And he gets mad at pacifiers.  He started out with gas.  But because both of my others were allergic to milk, I cut that from my diet (that is HARD for me!) and he seemed much better.  Then he contracted my cold and yeast issues.  We went to get his circumcision done but instead got the yeast taken care of.  And he seemed better.  But now his poop is green, like spinach.  *Sigh* I do feel bad for him.  He's miserable.  And I don't know what's wrong now.
