Happy Birthday Auntie Andrea!

Well here is our attempt at telling you happy birthday through a photo! I tried to get a good shot of them all, but someone was doing something wrong in every shot! We hope you have a wonderful birthday. We are thinking of you today. We miss you and love you :)

Footie pajamas

My grandma got both the boys matching footie pajamas. Rylan has been very anxious to wear them, but it has been too hot. The past week it has been getting down into the 40s during the day and even lower at night, so he finally got to wear them to bed last night. Here is a picture of my two guys in Carsten's crib...very soon to be Logan's!

Recently Jeff was out working on campus and he had taken our camera to help with a job. Well on his way by our house he saw Rylan outside and asked him to bring the camera inside the house to me. On his way into the house with the camera here are a few of the pictures he took:

The past few days we have had a flu bug that is making its way through all of us except for Logan. I am better today, but now Jeff has it. No fun at all. Here are a few pictures of Logan from today. He is now 5 weeks old. He is starting to smile and is enjoying time on his play mat. That is when he can play without one of his brothers smothering him to the point of not being able to even see the toy! Poor kid! Oh and a random picture of Carsten because as soon as I got the camera out to take pics of the baby he said, "cheese!"

And to top the day off Carsten learned how to climb out of his crib. He was found playing with his toys after nap. He also recently learned how to open doors, so we have some new child-proofing to do upstairs.

4 weeks old today!

3 weeks old

It is hard to believe that 3 weeks has already passed since Logan entered the world. It has definitely been an adjustment period for our family. I am still tired quite a bit and I feel very stretched with three little guys all wanting my attention. Thankfully our Father has provided support for us via our friends here on campus and from our Sunday group. We miss our families terribly and wish we could share in this joyous event with them. For now here are a few pictures of how Logan is growing and changing each day.

First day back to school

Today we began our final year of training! The boys were so excited to be going to class. Logan came with us to class as he will continue to do for a few more weeks. The boys both had excellent reports when we picked them up. Carsten is in the toddler class and Rylan is in the preschool class. We were glad to hear that they did well and both had a good time! It is hard to believe that Logan is already 2 weeks old. Time really goes by fast, especially when you have 3 kids, ages 3 and under! We are doing well and getting adjusted to our new family.

Photo session for Logan

A friend of mine from our Sunday group came over yesterday to take pictures of Logan. She has been doing photography professionally for about a year now. She wanted the chance to practice on a newborn, so she did them for free! She has posted a few of them on her blog. You can check them out here: http://www.lilypondphotography.com/

When she gives me the pictures I will definitely post them here on the blog. I think the ones she posted so far turned out super cute!
