Off To The Airport ...

No Problems ... !
July 12, 2011

Jake & Maren were off to the airport ...

to pick up Dan arriving from Wisconsin ...

(a surprise for their sister, Teresa)

Leaving the girls with Ian, Kendall & myself ...

Well ... 

in our household the children know that wrestling or jumping on the couch is not allowed ...

Yea, right ... !

Kendall thought it was time for the two older ones ...

to settle down and watch "Thomas the Train"

so we could get the twins ready for bed ...

the sitting quietly on the couch didn't last long ...

both of them had their turn ...

Kendall trying to stop them ...

but, I think she was egging them on ...

While we were getting Daigen & Arden settled on the floor ...

Carys was beginning to fall asleep ...

so Kendall fed her her bottle ...

then tucked her into bed ...

We decided to feed Brynn before she fell asleep as well ...

I took Brynn downstairs ... but she was not ready to go to bed ...

Ian stepped in to help out ... in the rocking chair ...

cuddling with Brynn ...

now with Carys fast asleep Kendall took Daigen & Arden ...

into Arden's room to read a bedtime story ...

(after having a snack then brushing their teeth) ...

Ok, the older two down ... wait ...

only Arden came out of her room a couple times ... the old I have to go pee story ...

(with potty training ... you have to give them the benefit of the doubt ...)

We kept Brynn up awhile longer ...

it was time for her to go to bed ...

she fussed with Kendall and myself trying ...

as Jacob normally puts the girls to bed when they are given a bottle ...

Ian suggested that maybe he should give it a whirl ...

and lo and behold ...

he succeeded ... !!

Quiet time for the three of us ...

relaxing, watching a movie ..

waiting for Jacob, Dan and Maren to come home ...

after they enjoyed an evening in town with no kids ...
