I had all five of the kiddo's back with me alone for a couple days before my mom came to help us in this "transition mode".
Katy was dressing these two up for a picture - apparently it's Little Bo Peep - and Laura was a supposed to be a sheep - I think.
Because life with five kids looks like life with four kids - kinda busy. :)
I spy... a brand new baby
Shantel stopped by for a quick visit and baby snuggles.
And ice-cream to celebrate we are all together again. That and it was the only kid-friendly dessert that we had around.
Two lickables.
And then Grandma came and chaos was a bit more subdued - sorta - on a few days. :) She made it all doable, as she did so much of... everything. She helped the kids with school when I couldn't - made meals, did a lot of laundry, held Leanne so I could get some sleep, and did things with the kids that such a wonderful Grandma does with them... it was so great.
Even though Leanne is grandbaby #27, mom and dad love them all so much and each one is a treasure in their eyes. :) They're willing to sacrifice so much to help their kids/grandchildren out, and that is such a testimony to me and many others.
The hands that have loved and raised 7 of her own.
Lots of coloring happened in the next couple weeks.
Amy trying to roller skate on Erik/Katy's blades...
She was pretty determined to try them out - holding onto furniture from around the room to get to the table.
Getting ready to go to church.
Daddy and Erik made a rocket ship together one evening (and Katy snuck in the pose for no real reason). :)
Such a strong little thing.
Lots of snuggles.
Like daughter like father. :)
The amazing dad taking four kids on a bike ride. :) Or a ride on a bike x 3.
