Shakespear Shuffle

Pa & Darlin'

After Jeremy's break from work my Dad (Pa) came out to help us for 9 days.  He was a great help!  He took care of the kids in the mornings so I could sleep in, cleaned up the kitchen every night after dinner, took the kids to the park, nature center & to play in the yard.  He & Jeremy kept each other company in the evenings when I got some extra sleep.  I thought it was so cool that my kids got their Pa all to themselves for that long.  My Mum (Darlin') came out to help the week after my Dad & they overlapped for Conference weekend.  She was an incredible amount of help as always when she comes out.  Our kitchen was the cleanest it's ever been & the kids were happy finding roly poly bugs & ladybugs every day out in the yard.  I feel very spoiled by everyone who has helped us!!  I have had someone with me for the last 6 weeks & reality is going to set in big time starting tomorrow morning.  Wish me luck!

We made this cake & it was delicious & easy & looked cool.  And the cake part was a mix-love that.

 

Attack of the kisses!  They would just not leave the guy alone.  I told my Dad that they have never done that to anyone but their Daddy-bear so he should feel special :)

Each grandparent that came out was able to take Hunterbug to his gymnastics class & see the boy in action.

 

First family picture. I'll have to work on that & try to get one where we're all facing the camera & at least looking pleasant - I won't even expect everyone to be smiling

I am so grateful for everyone's help while we adjust to having 5 kids.  It's been great so far & we feel so blessed to have wonderful family & to have such a sweet, happy baby!
