Life as Five

Life as a family of five is certainly action packed.

It's full of nose-picking dinosaurs.

Full of clean little boys with matching jammies.

It has it's share of growing pains.  My oldest isn't a baby anymore--though he's tried at 4,

and at 2,

 but he's only been able to fit the bill at 0.

In between shopping, 

and reading, (or sleeping)

I sometimes sit back and wonder why our children's hairlines look like a balding man's.

 Other times I think about how weird we all are.

We've had lots of visitors these past couple of weeks including my super cool jump-happy brother

 and his jumpy wife, Christine.

Isaiah wants to be as jumpy as those guys when he grows up.

Livia sure loves them.  She gave Chad one of the world's longest hugs. 

Life is full of last little mini vacations to the state capitol,

 and beautiful baptisms,

Complete with a sweet little baptism dress.

Being a family of five has brought on more responsibility,

and we've gotten to know our tiniest member a little more each day. 

That's not to say we can't still play,

 or eat ice cream with extra extra extra sprinkles minus the ice cream.

 Turning from a family of 4 to a family 5 for us means it's almost time to move.  Two weeks and we're gone.

 We'll miss you lots, Lincoln.
