All 4 kids

All 4 kids, all 4 different sizes!

Our Kids

When I was in the hospital having Will, the nurses and staff were surprised to see two blond haired boys, running around, that belonged to Brant and me. On the other hand, friends and neighbors were surprised to see Will come home from the hospital with a full head of dark hair! For fun, I am attaching the links to all of our kids' "first day" baby videos. Proof that when they arrived, they really did look similar!

What Max thinks about 24/7 (Hint: Food)

Maxwell came down the stairs the other day crying. He came up to me and this is how the conversation went.....


Max - "Mom, (cry, sob) it isn't fair"

Me - "Maxwell, what isn't fair"

Max - "Daddy said when you go to the hospital to have the baby, you get to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hospital for 3 days. And when Madison has a baby, she gets to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hospital for 3 days too. And I don't get to because I am a boy!"

Me - "Max, (trying not to laugh), boys get to do lots of fun things that girls can't do."

Max - "I know I can do scouts when I turn 8, and roast hot dogs and s'mores at scouts, but I don't get to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hospital for 3 days!"


A little back ground...Brant had his scouts over and they roasted s'mores in our back yard, and then he goes on a camp out every month, so Max's idea of being a scout is roasting hot dogs and s'mores. He thinks that is all they do!
