Together Again!!

About 2 1/2 weeks after my c-section things worked out and fell into place for my oldest three kids could go for a two week vacation to see Grandpa and Grandma and Tata and Nana. This was a huge help with my recovery. A big thank you to Colt's cousin Kenyon and his wife Megan who braved a 12 hour drive with 3 kids.
While Nay, Bob, and CJ were gone I got to spend some time with my little Eva. I learned so much about her. She really loved being the "oldest" at home for a while. She was such a good little helper with Lindy. She only mentioned the other kids once or twice, which was a surprise to me. I thought she would be really sad that they were gone, but she was just fine. I think she really enjoyed only having to share my attention with a baby that sleeps all day. I love her so much!
Nay, Bob, and CJ had a blast! First they spent some time with Grandpa and Grandma Stevens. When they would call us to talk they would tell us about all the fun places Grandma was taking them. They got to swim, go to the park, hang out with Aunt Sheron, and go to a warehouse full of bounce houses. They had so much fun! After they were done at Grandpa and Grandma's house they took a two hour drive and made to Las Vegas to spend some time with Tata and Nana. Once they got there they made another quick trip with Tata and Nana to CA to see some more family and spend some fun time at the beach!(I was jealous of the beach) They didn't really want to talk to us while they were with Nana and Tata because they always said they were to busy having fun. 
I am so glad that they got to go. I was able to get some rest and quite time with Eva and Lindy. They got to have fun and see family. I am glad that they didn't have to be stuck here with me on the couch. I feeling a lot better and I feel like I am ready to be a mom of five now. Not ready to be mom and housekeeper yet but that is ok, the house can be dirty for a while. I would rather spend time playing and loving on my babies than wasting what little energy and strength I have on cleaning. I will be my hundred percent self soon enough. I am so happy that we are all together again!


First outing as a family! We went to the flea market!
