...and sometimes dipping below the surface...that's what life is these days...we can't believe how busy these kids keep us. And it's not that we're running a million different directions; we're not. It's just that the kids are 4, 2 and 6 months and there is always a bum to clean, a fight to break up, a snack to prepare, an outfit to change, discipline to render, and another fight to break up. I get called "poo-poo head" at least a dozen times a day. Most days I waver between sanity and insanity, yet I cling to the hope that it must get easier from here! It's a really good thing that I think my kids are cute...a really good thing. It's late right now, and not within my ability to totally catch up on photo posting, so here a just a few, and perhaps I'll throw up some more this week...the highlights of the past few weeks include--Easter with its multiplicity of egg hunts, candy, colored eggs, and parties; a weekend in St. George with cousins; Kate is wearing underwear--I finally got on board; Kate's dimply, hard cheek scar--we are not happy with the way it's healing; Charlie will be 6 months this week--I couldn't be more in love with him and his 2 little sharp teeth; a thousand rounds of Candy Land with Lauren--she cheats all the time, and throws a fit when you call her on it; we went swimming for the first time this summer...Charlie's first time...I was afraid I might lose track of someone as I was by myself...I came home with 3 kids--mission successful.
A few Easter pics...

Cute kids!
I am cracking up at everything you are saying! Love it, and Charlie is oh so cute!
We are coming to CA over 4th of July weekend. What are the possibilities that we could get together, even if it's just an hour!
Shannon, it does get better. But the description you just gave of your current state of events had me smiling, remembering when I had a 5 year old, a 3 year old, and twin babies. But now they are almost 10, almost 8 and 4. It's seriously easier. Harder in some ways, easier in others. I don't really get called poo-poo head anymore, and I don't wipe bums. But the fighting, I'm not sure it will EVER end!!
Hang in there, we have all stood in your same place before. Your kids looked adorable on Easter.
I'm sorry that I was laughing at your treading water, bu I can SO relate of course. This is tough stuff! I need to call you since we didnt' get to talk last week when you called. Cute pics, cute kids and congrats on a mission succesful with 3 kids at the pool. I know how hard that is!
Yippee! I Hyer family update. Congrats on the pool trip. I'm nervous with just 1 & put Max in a life jacket. How the heck do you do more than that?
love the pics!!! AND the comments. Yes, I so feel that way some days and it's SO nice to know others do to :)
My dad once heard someone say that children are protected by a veil of cuteness. Amen to that! Couldn't think of a more true description!
