Everybody Needs a Laugh Sometime

Our Frenchie can be a royal PITA, but he often provides much needed comic relief around here.  The dog is a clown.  My mom was out here visiting us this past weekend and really wanted to take Henny home with her.  Even though being dogless for a few weeks might’ve made life easier for us right now, we couldn’t part with him.  Our kids would have been devastated, for one.  And Travis and I have grown pretty fond of him, for two;)  Here is just a little taste of the comic relief he provides:

 

Our kids are rather amusing as well.  They’re so darn cute but I swear, the ages and stages we’re going through right now are really really hard to be going through all at once – there is RARELY silence around here.  The volume escalates so quickly and Fin’s temper usually means there’s 1 kid screaming through the house, running for his life, with a hot-head lunatic chasing closely behind him with her mouth wide open in case she catches him.  Not so peaceful.  Lots of quick tempers (ours included), and typical 2-4 year old behavior.  Drama drama drama.  I can’t even IMAGINE throwing a newborn into this mix. 

 

But they’re also at ages that are just so hysterical and cute to watch.  They sit and chat about stuff during mealtime.  They’ll ask each other questions and have little conversations, they’ll trade food, hold hands spontaneously, and sometimes help each other and share just because they like one another.  That’s my favorite thing to see.

Adorable. And hilarious. I would LOVE to throw my 3 in the mix and see if my ears explode. Pretty sure my girls are louder believe it or not. A newborn in the mix has been a challenge but equally rewarding. Gus can sleep through 2 simultaneous little girl
squeals and has survived lots of “holding” and “babysitting” when I’m not looking. How’s it feel to be back in medicine (other than the great hours)?

They’re all looking so old! I mean that in a relative way, of course. I also love the little conversations my kids have. It’s so fun to get a glimpse into their thoughts.

Surprise! It’s us again. Love your pictures and the kids playing together. Been thinking of you guys and your mad schedules. Only you and Trav could do it. You’ve used up 1 mo. out of your year back in medicine. We pray for you everyday. You’re incredible! Hope you’re feeling well although you must be dead on your feet by the end of the (shift) day. We love you so much and worry about all of you.
