We have had Lydia for 10 days now and she fits into our family perfectly. The boys love her and take every advantage to hold her and love on her. She is a great sleeper. Since the first day she was home she has been sleeping a 10 hour stretch at night only waking up to eat for 15 minutes or so once or twice during that time. She rarely fusses.
She has had quite an eventful little life so far. We came home from the hospital on day two of her life (Saturday). Sunday we attended church (which was also Father's Day) and then had a bbq at my parents' house for Gregg and Dad. Monday - Friday, Gregg had to go back to work because he is taking off 2 weeks in July and a week in August, so my mom came over some mornings to help. We went shopping, played outside and we attended VBS every evening. Thursday was Gregg's 28th Birthday so we took the kids to DQ, but since it was a crazy week we waited and partied with my family on Sunday. Saturday, Gregg had a meeting in the morning so my mom and I and the kids went garage saling. We started this week with going to Pizza Hut after church with our families to celebrate Gregg's Birthday. This week should be much quieter than last week. And even though last week was fun, I happy to have a few quiet weeks before we go to California.
She loves riding around in the sling (I will have to get a picture of this soon) and that is where she spent 6-8 pm every week day the first week of her life while I helped with VBS.
This was Payton's first year in the big kids group for VBS and he did awesome. They normally only do 4 and up but Payton and one of his friends, Olivia, are both pretty smart, so they let them move up to the big kids. They learned verses and sayings every night, played games, made crafts and had snacks. Lydi rode around in the sling with me. Kellen came with us a couple of the nights but 9pm bedtime was too late for him (Payton too, but we didn't want him to miss any nights) because they usually go to bed at 6pm.
Here are some pictures of our last week!
