Gifts and Visitors...

Since we had Greta, we have been overwhelmed by fun gifts for her,... but also for the twins. I guess people realize that the older kids need attention too, so here are a few pics of them enjoying new toys.

One of Greg's co-workers sent along giant stuffed animals for A&H. Here is Hailey's giraffe, which she now carries around everywhere!

We have also received tons of cards and other gifts - thanks to all of you who have so graciously blessed us!

Greg's dad, Rich, and his girlfriend Margay were in town this last weekend. We had a lovely time with them, and they kindly brought a cool wooden truck for Drew, and a purse with stuffed animal kitty for Hailey. They love those!

Over the last 4 weeks, since Greta arrived, we have had all of the grandparents visit. My mom was here for 10 days, and was SOO helpful. Greg's mom was also here for a long visit and was kind enough to cook lots of meals and put them in our freezer! Then we had my dad for a long weekend, and this last weekend we had Greg's dad for a long weekend. It has been fun for all 3 kids to see their grandparents!

Greg is also now in the midst of a 7-week paternity leave from work! Yea! I LOVE it. He has been so helpful with the kids, and has given me lots of time to take naps. :) We are so grateful for this opportunity, and we are using the time to sit by the pool, take "field trips," and do lots of other activities!

Here we are out to b-fast this last weekend... with the kids in their matching jean jackets.

Meanwhile, our little Greta (who is 4-weeks old today!) seems to be quite content sleeping through life! She is having more and more wakeful periods, but still holds records for the % of her life she has spent asleep. Given the craziness of our life, it is so helpful that she is a good baby! I just snapped this pic moments ago..
