So, a miracle occurred a couple of weeks ago...all 6 grandchildren were at the same place at the same time! WOW! My sister made the treacherous drive from Colorado (she's a hero...she added 3 kids under the age of 4 to the trip...WHEW!!!) and we all congregated at my mom's house. It was our first big trip with Brayden, and we learned how easily a 3 hour trip changes to an all day trip when you have a baby with you!! But, he travels really well and even though we were exhausted we had a really good time!!

Brayden is doing well...the gas issues are much much better...we finally figured out what works! He only gets up twice during the night and takes good naps during the day, so mommy can get some rest too! Michael was on his "paternity" leave the last 2 weeks, so we really enjoyed being a family together and adjusting! But, now it's back to reality and I'm the official day-time caretaker of this little one...no more delegating responsibilities to daddy so I can take a shower or an extra nap while he's awake!!

Below are a few pics of our little family reunion...enjoy!

And there they are...all 6 of them! Karston, Gracie, Maddie, Jeremiah, Ellie and the newest...Brayden!

Our little 5 yr old mommy-helper...she loves the babies!
