Getting back to life

So alas, I finally feel I am getting into a new rhythm of life with 3 children. He is 7 weeks old now (How did that happen?) and I feel we are all quite adjusted to having a baby around. Rachel and Jaxon are over the "new baby" thing and don't find him quite so interesting anymore...lol...although they still really enjoy holding him and making him smile. I am finally getting some sleep! Thank you God! Israel started sleeping through the night all on his own at 6 weeks and it is SO very exciting to me :-) I now have time for showering on a regular basis and eating before noon! We are back to homeschooling (after 4 weeks off, the kids loved "spring break") and work as usual. I do still find it hard to manage getting all the housework done, responding to e-mails etc. like I did before...but all in all I can't complain. Life is good :-)

I'm sorry to all of my faithful readers who have been checking my blog only to find a rare new post. I honestly have not had the time...and more then that, I haven't known what to write. There wasn't much to say about life around here as all the news was pretty much the same. And my feelings were still a little to raw to share so publicly. However I feel after having the past 7 weeks to process that I am in a much better state to start really blogging again...so there should be new posts on a more regular basis from now on...hopefully :-)

For now, enjoy a few pictures of my babes that we took at the Oregon Garden's on an impromptu photo shoot of the three of them (Which is the reason their outfits don't match and you can tell they are very into dressing themselves!)
