One thing about having a new baby is that the camera gets used a lot more:) I love seeing my kids doing cute things. Though the camera can never fully capture how precious the real moment is. Though the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" does stand true especially if they are my pictures. I am so glad that I am able to stay home and be with the kids, though it can be hard, but I love my kids.
Aiden feels like he needs to be the adult. I have to remind him that he is the brother and not the mom. He is such a good helper, so full of energy, and only has one volume... very loud. But I love him and there is nothing better than him giving me a hug and saying, "Oh, mommy I love you so much!"
Erik has some of the silliest faces, and I am sure it is all Aunt Candi's fault:) He is so shy and doesn't really like to be the center of attention. He is such a patient little boy. He will spend half the morning putting puzzles together, or coloring a picture. He will bring me a stack of 13 books and sit with me the whole time to read every one. He is always so willing to help me even if it is throwing away dirty diapers.Here he is sharing his blanket with Emmitt because he thought he looked cold!
Analeigh is full of energy and love. She really isn't saying very many words yet, but she understands everything!
She loves her baby brother Emmitt so much and spends all of her time giving him kisses.
I love it when she gives me a hug and wraps her arms around my neck so tight and pats my back. She is such a sweet little girl. I am so glad to have her.
Emmitt keeps me and Ryan up at night, he poops constantly, has a tendency to throw up daily, and requires quite a bit of attention (just to make sure Ani doesn't squish him with her loves) and yet I can't imagine not having him! He is so sweet, he has the cutest pterodactyl cry. Just sitting and holding him makes everything seem right in the world, even if the house is a mess and I am exhausted. I can't imagine anything better than being a mom with wonderful children!

I so TOTALLY feel the same way (especially that last comment about Emmitt). Being a mom is so difficult, and you don't have any idea how challenging it really is until you have your own. You have four Summer! GO YOU! I look up to you. I love you. Glad you're my sister and I can call and cry my eyes out to you about how much I HAVE NO CLUE what I'm doing! Can't wait until you're back and our babes can be best friends!
