Pictures from the first week at home

We settled in at home. Amazingly, the girls have slept through the night most of the time. Carter is sleeping one or two hours at a time. We are getting back into the newborn mode. We are blessed to have lots of help from Grandparents in town. The day Carter came home was the girls' last day at Marchele's for daycare. She decided to go back to work and started Oct. 6th. We spent the first couple weeks of Carter's life figuring out our new daycare plan. My mom has been watching Norah & picking up Laurel from school while Carter & I bond, rest, & recover. Grandpa Doug & Grandma Penny have also been on pick up duty and helping during Wade's evening classes. We have now hired a nanny who will start Oct. 27th! We are looking forward to the new adventure. I will have 4 more weeks at home while the kids get acquainted with Kathy.


Laurel is anxious to hold Carter every day when she gets home from school. She is a great helper for me.

He's a great sleeper during the day!!

First bath at home.

Clean happy baby!


Norah spent Carter's first bath playing in the bathtub while he got clean in the sink. Laurel spent the night at Grandma Penny's.


Three angels ready for bed.


Aunt Janelle & Cousin Blake Louwagie come to visit! Blake keeps us entertained. A glimpse of what is to come. Boys are definitely different than girls!!!
