Dear Lord:Please empower me with the will to live, the gift of sleep, the will-power to not beat my children, the patience not to strangle my spouse, the sanity to make correct decisions regarding the safety of my children, and the where-with-all to realize what items of food (including calorie content) that pass into my mouth... and while i am at it, i need to also have the presence of mind to know what items of food (including small objects) drop on dirty, sort of dirty and "I dont recall the last time that was cleaned" surfaces before entering one of my children's mouths. Amen
Life with 3 is light years beyond any expectations we had with just two. a sarcastic "thank you" goes out to all those that said, "after twins, a single child will be a piece of cake" or "you did it right, having kids so close in age is perfect" - AHHH PHOOEY! Little Audrey is a very easy baby, she sleeps at night, and goes thru diapers like BP goes thru ideas on stopping oil spills. IN fact, the boys are really good with her - its the combining all three into a room that produces pure chaos! Two year olds either want to argue over trucks, drag you off to some random object in the room (in opposite directions), or want you to hold them - meanwhile, the 2 month old baby needs food because she she was just awakened by her brothers yelling "GARBAGE TRUCK!"
Poor Little Audrey is the forgotten child - we not only ignore her all day tending to the little diva twins, we also have dropped the ball on this here blog. Little girl, I am sorry - hope you forgive us...
Here is our Little Hottie Audi:
3 weeks old
7 weeks old
While we were in survival mode after the birth, here is what you missed:
The boys turned 2
we traded bristo in for a giant pig that roams around the backyard...
Pop Pop really likes him...Watching the World Cup is mandatory viewing in our house - regardless of the 4am start times. Audrey is not that into it, but she will come around.
Other than that, we curse the timezone decision makers as the sun rises at 430am in tucson in the middle of June - that means ethan is up and ready to do anything except remain quiet at 430 am... if this was not a world cup year - odds are he would be tied to fence post in the yard or advertised on craig's list as a packaged deal with our old washer/dryer set. no worries, for now, he is safe and we still have him - but I am a bit intrigued as to how much he would go for...
