Justin was able to take two weeks off and it was so nice to have him home. He is great at purging and consolidating so he spent a lot of time doing that...he bagged up baby boy clothes (I cried), maternity clothes (good riddance!), and took a couple loads of junk to the DI. I don't know when I would have ever found time to do those sorts of things. He's a pretty awesome guy.
We stayed mostly at home and so here are some snapshots of just day-to-day things during those couple of weeks.
Ivy, after her first bath at home.
Brynn and Ivy.
"Take our picture, Mom!" says Stockton.
Milk moustache.
And a yawn. Love the sweet baby faces.
Our first family-of-six picture.
The kids like to pretend they are camping and set up their beds in the upstairs landing/hallway. They kept begging to sleep there but we kept telling them no because they always did it on a school night. They finally remembered to set them up on a Friday and were excited when we told them they could sleep in them all night.
You can't tell in the picture, but the lights are all out, the bedroom doors all closed, and they each have their animals on that project stars on the ceiling. So they fell asleep under the stars.
Molly's already learning to multi-task...getting her reading in while holding Ivy. She's going to be an awesome mom someday.
Brynn likes to sit in the baby carseat...and baby swing...and baby bouncer. She's also started walking around with a binky, although she never took one as a baby.
Ivy, sporting animal print and a pretty sweet mohawk. Not sure what to do with that hair.
Another "take a picture" moment.
More cute faces. I love the dreamy smiles that babies make.

Another brain child of Molly's: a rainforest made out of the bunk beds. They didn't sleep in this one but had a lot of fun playing in there before bedtime.
January's weather was so mild. We made it to the park for a few minutes before the bus came.
Here is Brynn trying to play computer games while wearing Daddy's headphones.
Our four cute kids gathered around Daddy at the dinner table.
Brynn is oblivious to her sister's discomfort.
Tallest to smallest.
Justin gets pretty excited about organizing the garage, especially his tools. He made this drill holder in one afternoon and was pretty proud of himself.
We also loved having some visitors: Camille brought Cam, Ali and Jeff brought their boys, Erin W. brought her girls, and Grandma Kay came to visit a couple of times too. We loved showing off cute Ivy and are always so grateful for our families.
