Today it has been 6 weeks since Emry was born. 6 weeks!!?? In some ways it seems like much longer than that because of the stress with the sicknesses, other things that come with having a newborn(ahem...nursing) and it seems like we have been through alot in that time period. On the other hand, it doesn't seem like it has been 6 weeks yet, because, when 6 weeks hits, shouldn't I be feeling more together - mentally and physically? I thought that when I had 3 kids I would feel different than I do now. Maybe older, more responsible, more capable? Having 3 kids is...busy, who would have thought?! Really though, things are going well and I shouldn't complain. I actually think so far it is a little easier going from 2 kids to 3 than it was from 1 to 2. All the kids are doing great and we do great here at home...most of the time.
Kason and Asher were already buddies, but I think they have become even closer. Granted, they are loud, wrestling, tackling, and "taking you down" buddies, but I'm glad they are friends, even if it becomes a bit excessive at times. Asher always wants Kason to tell him a story when he goes down (or tries to go down) for a nap.

We made the trip to Montana on New Year's Eve. I was worried about taking Emry on that long drive while she was still recovering, but we made it. We stayed at a hotel the first night and the boys loved playing in the pool for New Year's.
In Montana
Emry zonked out in front of the fire...finally!
This picture cracks me up every time I look at it.
Back at home Isaac is back at school. 18 more months if all goes well!!!
The boys are really great with Emry and both are great big brothers. Asher usually waves right in her face and says, "ohhh cuuute". Kason is a great helper and both are always wanting to give her toys. Kason does not call her Emry though, he always still says Whippy. It's his little nickname for her. I even caught myself saying it once.

Kason's all about the funny shots these days.
Always gotta have a crying picture...at least she looks cute when she's crying.
It snowed!!! Barely...but it was still fun to see.
6 weeks. I think I feel like I need to take a picture anytime I put a bow on her because she usually doesn't get one when we're at home.
Smile!! she is starting to smile. Isaac is better at getting her to smile, but I caught a little one.

I hear the third is the hardest. I still have two down so I don't know how I would do three. I think you get more 6 weeks when it is around the holidays. I'm sure you are doing great. Glad the boys get along so well. Our girls fight all the time. Ahhhh. Keep up the good work.
Lindsey, I don't think it's going from 1-2 or 2-3 that's hard, I think it's just having an infant in the family that's hard : ) (even though it's awesome, of course!). I'm glad you're finding this transition easier than you thought it might be this time. Her smiley picture is so cute! I keep laughing about the nickname "Whippy".
Your family is so cute. I am sad we didn't get to see ya before we moved!
I'm not sure how I missed this most but I am sure glad I found it!! Those shower pictures are the BEST! Emry is so pretty, I want to see her in person so bad! You are a great mom and it shows with the way your kids are. Thank you so much for the birthday phone call, you are so sweet (sorry I missed it though).
We are already looking forward to when we see your cute family again!!
Oh my goodness, that sad face of hers is precious! It does go by so darn fast. Enjoy every second of her being little!
So cute. Wish we could see her and the boys. We are super excited to come in the summer though! We just can't wait.
