Family Day

Saturday we had a belated Mother's Day/birthday party for the May birthdays in our family. We had a good time visiting and having lasagna, cake and presents. It was also nice to have an extra set of hands to help feed the babies. There were enough hands to feed all of them, so Craig and I took a break! ha ha!

Here is Papa and Whitney. I wanted you to see how much Whitney looks like her Papa! Uncanny isn't it?


Here are some more cousins. These are Craig's sister, Lisa's kids. (L to R) Austin, Tyler, Samuel, Leah, Hannah, Victoria and Whitney. They were very excited to be able to hold them.

The babies were amazingly calm during this picture-taking adventure. We had to work quick because Samuel is on the go non-stop. See... he is about to take off.

I love this picture - Mama and Whitney cheek-to-cheek.

Later that afternoon, we took the kids to my brother's and SIL's (Kevin and Jill) to take some family pictures and pictures of the babies. Boy was that a challenge! We got there about 3pm and attempted to take some shots but the babies were so fussy, we had to put them down for a nap. We fed them around 4:30 or 5pm and tried it again. We got some good ones, but they were still pretty fussy. We weren't planning to stay until the next feeding, but we still had some more shots we wanted to get, so we ended up staying pretty late. We left around 9pm - got them fed at 8pm, took a few more pics loaded up our stuff and left. Sorry Kevin and Jill for staying so late! Thanks for taking pictures of us! We had fun!

We got home around 10pm, fed the kids one last time and put them to bed. They were SO tired it wasn't even funny. Poor babies, we ran them ragged yesterday. But GREAT news!!! They slept through the night for the first time. We had to get up a couple of times to tend to them, but we didn't feed them until 8am this morning. It was so nice!

Stay tuned for some of my favorite pics from yesterday. I can't wait to get them and finally get some birth announcements out too!
