Bursting at the Seams

 The little ones.

These pictures were taken around 7pm last Saturday night...and yes, that would be Hank eating his dinner in various parts of the house (we all had cereal that night, Hugh was gone at soccer practice). After enjoying some of the show with Ruby, Hank decided to rest his cute self in the play tent to fully enjoy his Kix. Could he be any cuter and funnier? Don't even get me started on his feet! I love them...especially the way he curls his chubby little toes on the ground to keep his balance. I love these little ones, and feel blessed to be adding two more little feet to our family in September! On this particular night, I did feel a bit overwhelmed about being in charge of these children of mine. Would they survive some nights of show watching and wandering dinner eating because mom couldn't quite pull it all together?

Hugh and I found out about our newest little one on Christmas Eve...such a great Christmas gift for both of us. I will always remember that night...getting Christmas ready for Ruby and Hank while thinking of this new little babe. It was very special. Ruby is also quite excited and keeping her fingers crossed for a sister. And Hank, well, he just runs around the house oblivious that he will no longer be the baby come September. I was thinking it was a good sign watching Hank hold Ruby's baby dolls and give them loves. Needless to say, those hopes were shattered as he proceeded to throw them across the room!

There is nothing like having these little ones rule my world. Welcome to our family, babe #4.
