{Pictures from the last two weeks}

It's been a good two weeks. I've been exhausted, but have had a lot of help from family with the kids and dinners. Real life is beginning now, though, Damien started football this week and starts school next week, so my eight months of being a coach's widow is starting up again. I am so thankful for being married to someone as hard working as him! He has been so much help these last couple of weeks and I am grateful for that! Here's a funny picture of an example of his hard work...we got this old riding lawn mower from my sister and it needed some serious work. He took it to the Ag classes last year and the students were able to get it running and everything, but occasionally he has to jump start it. Well, it needed jump started when it was stopped clear on the far side of our huge yard, and he basically had to push, pull, carry, and lift it to the driveway! Most people would have given up, but not him!!!

Here's Eden taking her first bath---She liked it after a few minutes. It was a whole family affair (minus dad). Carter was the photographer, McKoy was the rag holder, and Addison was the boss of the whole event. We put her towel in the microwave for thirty seconds so it was warm when we got her out and she went right to sleep in the big puffy towel Grandma Baldwin made her!

Addison swinging her two babies---she is such a good helper!

This picture made me laugh! Have you ever seen that dark of circles around a person's eyes?!?! I look just slightly tired, don't I? I'm glad I have this pictures-so every time I see it I'll remember how tired I was when I had all these little kids!

I love when babies sleep like this---she's so comfy! The kids piled in Addison's big girl bed-which is going smoothly, by the way. It's been a great transition, thankfully!

Addison and Eden, hanging out in the girl's room. They laid here together for about a half hour while mommy cleaned house. I can't wait (well, I can, really, because I don't want them to grow that fast) until they are side by side playing dolls and dress up.
