Life is going just great. Tannen is growing a ton. Last week for his two week appointment they weighed him. The doctor just wants him to gain back the weight he lost after being born. Tannen was 6lb 14 oz, and at two weeks was 7lbs 13oz! The doctor asked me what I was feeding him. I told him straight cream. Adjusting to three kids has so far been amazingly easy. (I am sure in a year I will be singing a different song.) I think it has to do with the fact that he is a really good baby (unless he has a bubble - look out), and that Landon and Kylie are older, and I don't have any toddlers. So it feels like I am still just dealing with Landon and Kylie and all of their drama.
They actually have done really good lately. They have been on a Harry Potter kick lately. We have the first two Harry Potter games for our Play station and they love playing it. Then as an added bonus, when they are all done they play Harry Potter in real life. They pick out the character that they want to be - they are usually fighting over who gets to be Ron. The kids have been on this HP kick for over a week, and have been using screw drivers as their wands. So on Saturday while we were out and about Marcus decided to drive up in the mountains to find them some wands. They went on a short hike in the snow (I stayed in the car with Tannen) and Marcus cut a couple of wands. We came home and Marcus carved them. They love their new wands, and had a great time getting them.
We have also had our fair share of drama. Does it seem like a rite of passage that kids have to go through to eat all of their dinner if they are going to get dessert. And it is the most painful thing they go through. I actually made dinner last night, and earlier made brownies for Family Home Evening. Most of the time I don't care if they finish their dinner. I figure they will just be hungry for the rest of the evening, and that is punishment enough. But they can't eat anything for the rest of the night. Landon didn't like dinner last night, but of course really wanted a brownie. It was drama drama drama to get him to eat. So many tears and squealing. It drove me crazy that he would sit there for an hour bemoaning the fact that he had to eat, instead of just eating it. Oh well, I remember having similar experiences as a kid

I know how that goes, always with the tears because the poor things are being fed! The humanity! I'm glad that things are going well for you overall!
I'm glad that things are going so smoothly for you with the three children. All that worry and stress before the baby was born were for nothing I guess.
I think I might be more worn down than you are when it comes to dinner and dessert. I only make my children eat all of their vegetagbles before they can have dessert.
Hey, when are you blessing your handsome baby? It's not this Sunday is it?
Boy, I have so much to look forward to. So far no problems with dinner time at my house, but we've not been going that long...
I'm happy to hear that the transition from 2 to 3 is going smoothly. I can't wait to see you this weekend!
No we are not blessing him this weekend, we are leaning towards March 29th
