The kids!

Are finally here!!!
They got here last night sometime after 10:30. They were suppose to be here at 6:01, but thanks to some unforseen circumstances, they missed their flight. Needless to say, Alex was a little upset. It is amazing how much they change, yet it seems like they never left. I guess that is a good sign. We are just back into the swing of things.
Mom, John and Krissy came over to see them and then we put all their stuff away. The clothes they bring are always a challenge and not what they need for the summer. This year Alex and I had stuff on layaway, so we were better prepared for what usually happens. Now, we only have to spend about an additional $50-$75 dollars instead of a couple hundred!
At 1 we headed to Wal-Mart to purchase sleeping bags. Yes, the kids have a bed, but want to sleep on our floor. Last summer we spent a lot of time folding and unfolding blankets everyday, so this year we decided to just buy sleeping bags. We got home around 1:30 and headed to bed-finally! The kids tried to feel the baby move, but he was not up for any time of show. Hopefully today will be another story. Andy brought several pillows that he made for the baby adorable! They are so cute and little. Those are the things that always mean the most-homemade with love. He is an amazingly caring kid! Ashley is just straight thrilled about this baby. She is amazed by my belly and all that jazz.
I am so tired but cannot stay asleep for anything. Now, I just sit and wait for someone else to wake up. Poor Alex is sick, Abbie is so overwhelmed-but the kids are here and that is all that matters.
