Those Crazy Kids

Kids are crazy and ours are no different. Tristyn, Maia, and Isaac constantly find themselves swarming around little Lance with the malicious intent of smothering him in kisses and hugs. Tristyn has assumed the "motherly" role. Constantly telling her other siblings what they should and shouldn't be doing around the newborn. Always in command, Tristyn loves updating everyone in the house on Lance's status; whether good, bad, crying, moaning, or sleeping. Maia finds Lance a curious little critter. As often as she can she runs up to him, puts her right index finger near his left eye, places her face as close as she can to his, and very quietly screams, "baby ... baby ... baby!" Thankfully, Lance's nap time is just about over every time she announces his presence. Isaac is a little less gentle (hence Tristyn and Ashley both reaching for him in the posted picture). Isaac believes Lance is a sort of toy. One that moves around, cries, and should be thrown, punched, or smacked with an object. Don't get me wrong. He loves the little punching-bag, but hasn't quite grasped his mortality yet.

Despite all the mishaps. All of Lance's siblings love him and are thankful of his save arrival into this world.

Your kids look so cute. Oh brotherly and sisterly love. It looks like your family is doing well. I remember my neices acting like that when their little brother was born 4 years ago. The older one being like a mother hen and the younger on wanting to play and so him everything. Enjoy life and being a family full of fun adventures.

Cute pics guys, we had so much fun visiting with you. I wish we could have made it work to come out for the blessing, but alas, we are struck with yet another virus so you probably wouldn't want all the sickies there infecting the babies anyway. Our 4 day weekend promises to be full of tissues, tylenol & naps.

I am so HAPPY to that you have your little man home safe and sound! And yes it is always a bit hard to find the line between the older siblings showing love for the new little one and wondering if the baby will survive their loves
