Kolbe and his school buddies at one of our Wednesday afternoon picnics.Kolbe and Libby love doing skin to skin with Molly. Libby can't say skin to skin so she does the best she can, "Tin to tin"
Libby got this cute little dress from Gma B for her birthday. She actually let me brush her hair so we got a picture of the aftereffect.
Kolbe finished up his swimming lessons, just in time for summer. He was being goofy while I was trying to get a picture.

Last Friday Kolbe had his end of the year school program. He got all dressed up and wanted a picture with his teacher Miss Jennifer. Ironically I taught her daughter when I was at St. Ann's.Libby looked too cute.
Grandma took a picture of the four of us after we got back. They all 3 looked so nice. Naturally, minutes after putting on Molly's outfit she spit up on it.
Roz was holding baby Molly in the backyard, she loved the fresh air.

Coming home from the hospitalWe had quite a busy afternoon Thursday. We left the hospital around 2. When we got home we found out we had just missed "Aunt" Helen. Jaime, Addison, and Grandma arrived within a few minutes of our arrival. Kolbe had his swimming lesson and while he and Jeff were gone Molly got to meeet neighbors Roz and George, and Ali and Ellie. I thought I'd make some mac and cheese for the kids for dinner and got side tracked feeding the baby, of course the mac and cheese got burned. Naturally we had 2 more sets of visitors come to our smoke filled house later that evening.

Day 2 of lifeThe kids had to make sure Mary Katherine was healthy.

Day 3 of life

Grandpa brought the kids up first thing in the morning. I had packed a suitcase with all of the clothes for the kids to wear while Jeff and I were in the hospital. Thursday morning Grandpa called and asked if it was okay for Libby to wear a pair of pink pants and a shirt with a heart on it. I knew it was not one of the outfits I had packed, and I had never put her one pair of pink pants with her one shirt that had a pink heart on it, but I told Grandpa that would be okay. Libby arrived at the hospital in her pajamas that have pink bottoms and top with a heart. Grandpa said the kids don't get quite the same quality care with him that they do with their mom. We thought it was pretty funny.

First day of life
