A blessing

Family of Five, Really?
If someone would have told me 3 years ago when I had Miss Peanut that I would have 3 kids in just over 3 years - I would have laughed.  Now here we are.  I really have learned to enjoy this little cupcake because the little stage passes so quickly.  I have my frustrating days, but it's mostly because my other 2 are being naughty the second I sit down to nurse and there is only one of me.  And 5-7pm when it seams like all three have meltdowns right in the middle of trying to get dinner and bedtime going.  Motherhood really is such a blessing and I'm so grateful that I have the opportunity to be a mother.  Maybe it's because of how busy I had to be right after having cupcake, but the transition to 3 really hasn't been too overwhelming (of course with the exceptions of the above mentioned moments) I told someone the other day that I feel more seasoned as a mother.  Lots to learn still of course, but these three little ones are such a blessing.  
May really was a busy month.  Even with everything else going on we decided to bless cupcake while Officer's family was here.  We were able to have so many of our friends and family over for a yummy waffle breakfast/brunch after church.  Here are some pictures, in the last one great-grandma was able to be there, so it was neat to have a picture with 3 generations.

I'm finally catching up on your blog. Three kids is hard. I swear I never have time to do anything. And I'm with you. The house from 5-7 pm are the hardest. But somehow it all gets done and the kids are happy, I hope. We can do this.
