Playing with Grammy Poe

Finally some group shots. They are feeling so much better. John is getting back to normal and starting to play and eat better. Lauren and Tyler are fighting over toys and Austin is running through the house like a wild man.

We're back to Ground Hog Day as the routine goes....
wake up...
sippy cups...
breakfast...
play...
nap...
lunch...
play...
snack...
nap...
supper...
play...
bath...
bed.
Mommy has to fit in taking Austin to preschool, changing diapers, making meals, cleaning the kitchen, straightening up toys, cleaning the kitchen, washing/drying/folding clothes, cleaning up the kitchen, loading and unloading the dishwasher and keeping some sanity. Did I mention cleaning up the kitchen?

The rewards far outweigh the hum drum routine of the day: we get lots and lots of hugs and kisses, first steps, first words, first fights, singing, dancing, Wiggles, Veggie Tales, Signing Time, Thomas the Tank Engine, and Goldfish crackers ground into the builder grade carpet (another excuse to replace it someday soon). Thank goodness for good help. Carol, our nanny is still with us after a year and has become part of the family. The kids absolutely love her.

The Biggest News of the Day: Tyler is taking about 3 steps. John and Lauren aren't far behind. We'll soon have a trio of walkers. Yikes!
