Early morning...

My first baby comes at 7:30 a.m. so instead of going back to bed I got on the computer.  I'd rather go to bed, but baby number 2 comes around 8:30 so I thought I'd check emails and other things. (but I'm going over to pick him up so technically he's not coming soon).  We started watching the 2 babies at the beginning of the school  year.  The kids just absolutely love having them here and I hardly do a thing.  The first month they were here I didn't change a diaper.  I've got several "mommies" in my family.  It makes me smile to see my boys fight over who gets to hold one of them.  It's all training for parenthood some day.
 Baby #1 who comes at 7:30 a.m.

He is 8 months and pulling himself up on things.  He can crawl and get into tight spots.  Very cute!
My nephew Lane and baby #2 who come about 8:30 a.m.  He's 6 months and about twice the size of the baby up there.  He's not crawling but can get most places by rolling there.  He is a bundle of joy!
At first it seemed they were going to be a constant distraction to getting school done and I wondered what I got us into but we have a routine now and a very uncomplicated schedule this year!!!!  We don't go to AWANA and basically have one day a week that is busy with lessons and such.  Some kids get their school done before the first baby gets here on some days.  School is amazing this year.  My kids have great attitudes and have figured out that to get it done means "free-time" and a "feel-good" feeling that "I did it and it didn't have to hurt that bad."
