Hello I am back!!  Our home has been a little nuts and  it took me some time to get use to my new sleep pattern ( or lack of sleep) and how to juggle 3 kids.

Let's get this link party going! This weeks words are; needing, missing, reading, hoping, playing.

For some time I have been wanting to open a shop on etsy to sell things I make. I have a box full of things I have made and many ideas.  What I  need to find is the courage to start to list products. I worry that no one will like what I make. I know I need to get over this. I need to be an example for my kids.

Summer is almost over. And preschool is almost here. Where did the time go. I know Owen and Emily are looking forward to school. And yes I have to admit that the idea of a couple of hours a week with them gone and just Kaley and I alone. Sounds good. I see naps and cleaning happening. I know I will be missing the craziness of a full house. Kids playing, yelling, fighting, making noise.

  We have been reading a lot of new kid books this summer. Dave found a used book store that has great deals. The kids love going there.  The books are all under $2. ( kid books)  I love the fact the kids like reading. My goal is to keep encouraging reading  with the kids.

As I write this post I am sitting in urgent care waiting room with Emily and Kaley. Some kind of bug thought Emily tasted good. The bites got big, red, and Swollen. I am hoping they can give us some thing to make her feel better and go away.

** update Emily was having a

severe allergic reaction to the bug bites.

The kids have been playing with Legos a lot. I can remember playing with Legos as a kid, I loved them. And now my little ones are building cars, houses, towers, planes. All kind of things. They are always so proud to show me what they have made.

Hello everyone. I saw this quote on Pinterest and it made me smile. I don't know how many times I hear " mom where are my shoes" " mom where is my ----( some kind of toy) " or " Jenny do you know where my keys and wallet is". Love ya Dave! 

Have a great week.

This past week has been a big week for our family. We went from a family of 4 to 5. That's right our baby girl is here. Yep. I knew she would be early, I thought just 1 week maybe 2. But nope our little one came 3 weeks early.  She is perfect in every way. Working on a post to tell the story of how she joined the world.  We named her Kaley Barbara. Barbara after my grandmother. But more on that later. 

Link party! This weeks words are watching, searching, missing, growing, ignoring. 

This week I have been watching my kids as close as I can. Trying to remember everything about them that I can. Before Kaley was born I was enjoying Owen and Emily and the joy of having only 2 kids. And watching every small thing that they do. Then after Kaley was born, how Owen and Emily reacted to her. And of course I can't keep my eyes off Kaley. She might be our last so I am trying to remember and enjoy every moment of the newborn stage. 

For the past month, I have been searching for a blog post on how to help the kids adjusting to having a new siblings. There has been many a night that I was up late trying to get as much information and tips that I can. If you have any tips for me I would love to hear them. 

Right now I am not missing out on too much sleep, I am almost getting more sleep now that Kaley is here. But I am sure that will change. 

I was told by my doctors around 30 weeks that I should not pick up the kids any more. Last night I picked Emily up after she feel asleep in the living room to carry her to bed and man my little Emily has been busy growing. Now if I could just get her to slow down. 

My little Emily has been a little bit of a whiner for a some time now.  We have been trying to find a way to stop it. It's kind of making us nuts. But Owen some how is great at ignoring it. It's like he blocks her out.

We are a family of 5! Our little Kaley was born on Friday. She is perfect in every way. We are all doing great. The kids just love her. Always asking to hold her. I am working on a post all about how our family became a party of 5. 

Have a great day and a wonderful week.
