1 week already!!

It was Noah's one week birthday yesterday :) so we made cupcakes to celebrate it for him :) He thought it was pretty rude of me to put a cupcake in front of him and not let him even lick the frosting- poor deprived little boy :) (and Natalie, I don't know if you've noticed, but we're making really good use of the couch you gave us :) so thank you!!)


Charity led everyone in singing "Happy Birthday" to him- kinda funny.

So I really can't believe how well this week has gone! Feels a lot longer than a week, but it REALLY went well. I keep thinking about when I had the other kids and how hard it was to adjust, but for some reason this time it hasn't been that difficult. I thought I was going to die trying to do things without Nate around, but we've really had a nice relaxing, really low-key week. It's been a huge blessing. I don't doubt that Heavenly Father has helped me with it all- I know I didn't do it on my own.
Noah is an absolute angel! He is so peaceful, and so easy-going. He only cries when he needs to eat, and other than that he sleeps! It's been really really fun to have him. The kids all love him and are really careful with him- it's just amazing!! I gotta give my kids credit for how well they are doing! I am so grateful for everyone's help. Our ward that we've only been to twice has even stepped up and brought in meals for us- they're all so nice and friendly- it's been really great! I just loved this week!
