While Holding a Baby

::Now that his runny nose has cleared, Hugo has fairly unrestricted access to the babies.  I think it might be safe to say that for now, it is an unrequited love.

::A typical morning with many visitors to our bed!

::Mornings and evenings mean handing off a baby or two immediately in order to try to get something done (while only holding one baby: since when has this been considered easy?), but I managed to marry a man who adores newborns, and I don't think he minds.  He's actually really good at it.

::I have figured out tandem babywearing, which is pretty lifechanging around here.  It means I can homeschool, go for walks with the older kids, and prepare meals without having to dart back and forth to the nursery.

::Besides, who can resist this incredible cuteness?  They are so relaxed and happy in there.

::Unfortunately, there are several tasks that can not get done while tandem babywearing, such as laundry, exercise, and sitting down.  But instead of taking a picture of all of that, I'll just show you our pretty tulips, deal?

::I did manage to bake enough peanut butter chocolate chip bars (adapted from this) to send into Ben's work (and of course amply feed our own family, no small feat).  

::If you ever get the hankering to hold a baby, head on over!  Don't worry, we will genuinely enjoy your presence while you're holding that baby.

::See?  Everyone gets a cup of coffee.  Let no one say our guests are not looked after.

Happy Weekend!
