The New Normal

Well life is getting as close to back to normal as it gets I guess. The kids are home again, and as of today all the siblings have gone their separate ways, but not before we crammed in a ton of family events in a very short time. We decided to bless Peter at church on Sunday since all of my family was in town, having just returned from the beach. After the blessing all 20 adults, 7 kids, and 2 infants came back to our house for lunch. Then that evening we had a court of honor for Bradon, who earned his eagle scout. Monday night was Rosemary's to celebrate Bobby's birthday, and Tuesday night was an attempt at family pictures in our backyard. We'll see what Kelsie and her photoshop magic can pull together ;)
Here is Peter before church in his cute little slacks and button up.

We were so thankful to have so much family around to help us celebrate Peter. In between all the "events" Kelsie and her camera tried a couple of photo shoots with Peter, but it turns out he's not super cooperative. She did get a few really cute ones though, no photoshop needed .

Peter continues to be amazing. He sleeps a good 7 hour stretch every night, and is so peaceful. He's such a good sleeper in fact I'm not sure how on earth we are going to get Andi to school on time when it starts in two weeks. Out the door by 7:30?! Ridiculous. I know babies this young technically can't smile on purpose, but he smiles a lot. I caught this one before heading out the door a few days ago. Obviously I missed the full smile, and it's on it's way out, but it's still cute.
