5 Kids

So last week for 6 days we watched my sister-in-law's sisters 4 kids while they went and enjoyed the beautiful weather in L.A. They were actually pretty good kids and I grew to think that I could maybe handle having 5 kids (although we only plan on having 4). What I realized though is that I don't think I can handle having twins. Jules is now 9 1/2 months and their youngest, Kate, is 13 months old. Those two were the worst to watch because when one started crying it would set the other one off. They both fought for my attention so I would have to sit on the floor while they both mauled me to make them happy. The nice thing is that they were on the same schedule so they would go to bed at the same time and take naps at the same time giving me a little break. The thing that scares me the most is that we have a really high chance of having twins. Twins run pretty heavily in both of our families. My mom is a twin and her mom is a twin. Brett has twin uncles so if they skip a generation like they say they do, we are doomed. Anyway, here are some of the fun pictures we took while we were there:
Here Jules is kissing herself in the mirror. It's really cute. Last night I actually showed her a picture of Christ and she kissed him too. It's amazing what littlest of kids will do.

Here Jules and Kate prepare to take a bath. I love Jules little bum.

Jules finally gets to experience a real bath. She loved it and splashed the whole time.

Here the babies are "playing" with each other. Here you can kind of catch Jules in the act of doing her army crawl.

This was Sunday after church and after dropping the kids off. Jules was exhausted and so happy to have mommy and daddy all to herself.

She used to be so cuddly but lately has just been too active to want to so it was sweet to see her doing it again. She's actually been doing it a lot since we finished watching the kids. They are her little hugs.
