One whole month.

Eek!

But really, in my defense, 4 kids under 5 is busy.

Jordyn is currently 5 weeks old and we are battling reflux and colic.  I thought I was scott-free, but alas, we have spent the last two days with Jordyn SCREAMING whenever she was awake.  The worst was last night.  The screaming started at 9:30 and lasted until 1 a.m.  No joke.  This is kind of hard to juggle with 3 other kids who really could care less that you only had 3 hours of sleep last night!

In the meantime, I have been doing my best to keep them busy and outside.  With Jordyn being fussy, my other kids have been pretty neglected.  But, we just keep moving forward.  We all know this is just temporary!

So, bring on the pictures!

The kids have been doing really well with Jordyn!  I do have to keep them from bouncing her to death or mauling her with her pacifier.  The hardest has been Gabby, as she misses having my time whenever she wants it.




Gabby is probably the most fascinated with the baby.




Gabby ALWAYS wants to hold the baby.  Ike sometimes.  And Laney really could care less.  But Laney does like to hold her sometimes.




Papa Jim has been plowing our driveway which has been a HUGE blessing with all the snow that we have had.  He pushes up into the lawn and makes a HUGE hill for the kids!  Jacob took them out one day and helped get the sledding started!

Gabby, in particular, loves everything about the snow!  Getting stuck, eating it, the icicles it makes!  I really love that about her!


Ike on the other hand?  Well, he likes it. But is usually the first one inside.  On this particular day, he got stuck!





But, I sure do love this cute little guy!




And with Jordyn screaming so much, Jacob has had mercy on my soul and been doing a lot of this....


I can not sleep with her anywhere near me, but he has no problem with it!  Which works out great for me!

And that is my quick update!

Back to the screamer!

Adios!

  1. Two things.

    1. Just keep reminding yourself that it shall pass. Hand it over to the Lord, and rely on Him in your moments of tiredness. Samantha had colic and once you get through it you will have more patience than anyone!!

    2. It gives me so much happiness to see Ike outside stuck in the snow! :) I still pray for him daily, and I know he is not mine, but I love that kid!
