6 weeks

 It is hard to believe that Hudson and Brooklyn are 6 weeks already. In some ways it feels like they've always been a part of our family, and in some ways it seems like they were just born. They continue to be pretty mellow babies. We have a melt down each evening between 6 and 8, but I remember that happening with the other two as well and it usually gets better after 6 weeks, so I'm hoping the same is true of these two. Life is busy and crazy. I don't know when I'll be able to manage a whole day with all four kids and no help from others. My mom has been a HUGE help, coming over each morning before she goes to work so I can take a shower and get ready in peace. She usually makes the kids breakfast and brings Ethan to school, or watches the younger 3 so I can bring him to school. I also have someone watching the babies on Tuesday mornings so that I can take the older two to bible study with me. It is so great to get out of the house, fellowship with other women and spend a little bit of extra time with Ethan and Morgan. It is such  a blessing to have people around to help. Here are a few snapshots of our life right now.

Ethan and Morgan dressed up as Daddy and Mommy. Ethan's imagination and ability to create imaginative situations has improved since he started school. It is fun to watch him and Morgan play nicely together, in between all the fighting that goes on most of the time.

Mr. Hudson thinks he's big stuff holding up his head.

 Just chillin' on the floor. While I don't think these smiles are intentional we have gotten smiles out of both babies in the last week. Brooklyn hasn't smiled for me, but she has for Kevin. Hudson is pretty generous with his little grins.

 I finally brought the babies to meet my Grandma Bulthuis. Unfortunately she is pretty confused lately. She was unsure of whose babies they were, but she was sure happy to hold them and watch the big kids run around. Kids bring an instant smile to her face.

Nothing cuter than little baby bums.They are getting bigger. I'm not sure how much longer we'll have them share a crib. They are getting so long!
