On My Own

Today is the first day since Luke was born that I have been home alone with all four kids! I am happy to report that I have not lost any of them, nor has anyone had a meltdown, YET. AT the moment, Caitlyn is quietly reading, and the other three are napping. Yeah!! We were all very surprised when Jeremy showed up at the house for lunch. I soon realized that he had come home to check and make sure that I was okay. How sweet! There are always some adjustments after a baby is born, but so far so good. Luke is sleeping pretty well. He has the typical occasional fussy nights of a newborn, but Jeremy's pitching in and that's a huge help. His umbilical chord fell off during the night on Sunday. The girls were very excited that he looked "normal" now! We are anxious to start school, but I have already decided not to start for a few weeks yet. We usually finish the school year early anyway, so I'm not worried about being behind. Well, I hear Luke so my time is up. Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who has for now blessed us with these.
