Wow! Three kids is a lot more than two. Thankfully, I've had my mom and Matt to help out these last few weeks as we are all adjusting. We stayed with my parents for 2 1/2 weeks after Adelaide was born while Matt was preparing for and taking the bar. (He took it last week, but won't have the results until early November.)
Michael and Sarah loved being at Nana's and getting extra attention, and I loved having the extra help. Matt's mom came up a few times to help out too. Now, we're back at home trying to get into a new routine and adjusting to new rules. (e.g. "No, you can't sleep in the bassinet." "Binkis are only for babies, not big girls." and "Aaaahhh! You can't push the baby swing that high! She'll fall out!") Thankfully, Matt is at home helping out until he starts working.
Just some pictures from the last few weeks:

Going home
Nana and Popie got a new puppy, Freckles. He's a little rambunctious still and pulled Michael down on the gravel driveway while taking a walk. Michael got pretty skinned up and got a huge goose egg on his head. The picture doesn't do it justice.
Despite that, he and Michael became fast friends.
The kids have been really sweet with Adelaide. They have been surprisingly gentle and are always wanting to tickle her feet.

How nice to have extra help around! So is Adelaide in the closet now & Sadie with Michael? Can't wait to meet her!
And poor Michael!!! I think my boys would be traumatized for life-especially Hunterbug.
