We have been SO lucky to have had almost full-time help since Luke was born. My Mom (and friend, Martha) during week 1, Matt's Mom during week 2, and My Sister (plus family) during week 3, have all helped us adjust to becoming a family of 4! They definitely made the transition a bit smoother!

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR HELP!!! XOXOXO!



Mimi, Mya, and Luke- Mimi was surrogate Mom to Mya the entire week of Luke's birth. 
I'm pretty sure Mya didn't even notice I was gone!



Grandma came to meet her new Grandson in the hospital.  She also visited us the next week. Mya LOVED spending time with Grandma!  They went to the park, the library, and even had a special lunchdate! Thanks Grandma!

Week 3- The Kuehl's came to visit!!! Mya had a BLAST with her cousins!!! It was nice to have my sister (the baby whisperer) help with Luke and the kids entertain Mya!  I miss, miss, miss having them live close!  :-(

We went to Lindy's restaurant for dinner one evening.  The weather was gorgeous! The kids were able to play in the sand while we waited for our dinner! Mommy enjoyed her first beer! ;-)

4 cousins in a bathtub = CRAZINESS and water EVERYWHERE! 
No, they weren't super dirty.... we added blue color tablets to the water!
