Back To The Daily Grind

We survived the first week of school! I felt great the entire first week. Then I woke up today and felt utterly defeated. Okay, earlier bedtime for everybody... especially Lucas and I. 

Evangie is so happy to have her brother and sister back

I wonder if Lucas will ever pick on her

I wonder if they'll grow up and become best friends

One day you'll get to run around with them

One day you'll be drinking this with us

Did you order enough drinks?!

Okay... so here's the deal... we were at the mall and walking towards the Apple Store because I needed to have my phone checked out and Lucas wanted to play on the iPads. While we were walking there, we noticed a line at Jazen Tea. This was at 10am. Actually, regardless of whatever time it is, there's never a line like this one. Dan checked it out and realized they were having a special anniversary promotion. If you buy five (or more) drinks right now, you'll get a card with a free drink once a week for the rest of the year (till their next anniversary). Alright - what a deal! So that's why there's so many drinks.

My little shopping buddy

Dabbing. Why are you growing up so quickly?!

Alright, speaking of growing up... check out this little lady!

Six months?!

Say what now?! How did six months creep by just like that?! This little lady is pretty much all smiles all the time. The only time she's a grouch is when she's hungry or tired (duh). She'll smile at anybody and loves to be held by anybody. I guess the third child does not have stranger danger... yet. We're introducing a lot of new solids to her, which means I've been utilizing my Instant Pot and Vitamix machines. I love kitchen gadgets... the bulkier the better! So it looks like Charlotte is the only child who did not get homemade baby purees. Sorry, middle child. I'm still waiting for her to sleep through the night. She's still waking up around 3ish to nurse for ten minutes. She is also very easy to put down, so maybe I shouldn't complain. I'm crossing my fingers that she'll be able to sleep for 12 hours by nine months.
