Grandma and Olivia!

Olivia looks so content in her Grandmother's arms. My mother came to visit recently and it was really nice to have her. The kiddos enjoyed her immensely. Even though she just had knee surgery, she helped me de-junk my house some more and help out with the kids. Thanks mom!

Jaiden

I went in to check on Jaiden in his room and this is what I saw. At first all I saw were his feet sticking out of the closet. I thought it was so cute that he had decided to take his nap in his closet. That is his white bear that he loves to sleep with. He is laying on the sacks of clothes that he has outgrown. I guess they make for a comfy napping cushion. I am just happy that I found him asleep!

Her is our little Olivia on the blanket that her Great Aunt Rachel made for her. It is the softest blanket ever! Thanks Aunt Rachel!

Jaiden's recent haircut :-)

Matthew and Jaiden got haircuts a couple of weeks ago. We went into Great Clips and there was no wait (which is nice since toddlers can't wait very long). Jaiden did really well except he kept wanting to turn around and see Daddy get his haircut. He also kept trying to look at the receptionist. When he got his sucker, he seemed to be very pleased with himself and loved the attention he got from the two ladies who praised him for being a good boy. His nickname lately is "spike."

Jaiden and Olivia look similar at 1 month :)

Heather just happened to put Olivia in an outfit that Jaiden once wore and I was surprised at the similarities :)

Can you tell which one is which?

Our little Olivia!

Getting Overwhelmed

We had a system worked out last week where we had neighbors babysit Jaiden during the day and I rented a car so that Heather could stay at the hospital and have a car. I was hoping that Olivia would be home starting this week so that Heather could be at home with both kids.

But Jaiden ended up getting really sick (probably has RSV too) and so that pretty much eliminates the option of having people babysit him. And I feel like I have taken too much time off at work so I feel like I have to go to work. That means Heather is stuck at home with sick Jaiden and can't be at the hospital with Olivia, where she really needs to be.

I've never been in a situation quite like this before where we really can't solve this problem on our own but also don't know what to do. We are all feeling quite overwhelmed.
