We're still here!

WOW! It's been over a month since I last posted and SOOOOO much has changed. We moved to a different house in Victoria the week before Bowen was born. Brad went back to work for Woodgroup (here in Victoria) and the BEST and MOST important-BOWEN ARRIVED!
He arrived on June 9th at 7:56 a.m. He weighed 8lbs and 7.2 ozs and was 21 inches long. He followed suit and looks exactly like Brad. He is so sweet and perfect and I am telling you, having a little baby NEVER gets old. He had a little scare in the hospital. He aspirated some breast milk, so we spent 2 extra nights in the hospital, but no he is doing great, eating, sleeping, pooping and looking around. Emma and Tyler are doing really well with him. They want to help me with everything and they always want to kiss, hold and hug him. Sometimes Tyler is a little rough but he is a 3 year old boy so I think that is to be expected.
People keep asking me how I'm adjusting and if the kids are driving me crazy. The answer is I am adjusting GREAT and the kids ARE NOT driving me crazy. Yes, my hands are full, but so is my heart. I love my kids so much and every one of them has brought something special and unique into my life. I wouldn't trade one second of it.
Emma and Tyler are both swimming like little fish. Tyler just jumps in and goes under and away he swims...Emma is also swimming. I wasn't sure if she would ever get it. She is just so STUBBORN, but she puts on her snorkel and she swims around. She is still a little scared but she is about 100 percent improved from last summer.
Emma is also playing T-ball this summer. I am not sure if she just really isn't into it or if it's just her age. Most of the other little girls and Emma spend most of their time talking, but Emma says she likes it, but that it's really hot!
Tyler on the other hand is dying to play, but he'll have to wait until next summer. Emma and Tyler both start school in about a month. My little girl will be in KINDERGARTEN! I am so not ready for her to be gone 5 days a week from 8 to almost 4! Tyler will go to 3K from 8-12 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I guess that about catches everything up. We are headed to the beach on Sunday. Our first vacation with 3 kids! It should be fun!
