Ryan and Juliet

And so the babies survived their first Thanksgiving, first overnight trip, first encounter with the entire Hatfield side of the family, and last but not least, their baptism.  You might say Dan and I just ripped the Band-Aid right off, but I think it was actually a bit more painful than that.  11 adults, 5 kids, and Ryan and Juliet were all together in one house to celebrate the holiday.  Surrounded by chaos, Dan and I scrambled to find a routine for the babies.  Looking back, that may have been part of our problem.  Even with my perpetual bouncing, naps were scarce especially for our little Jule.  She had things to do, people to see, and all new experiences to experience.  So that’s what she did for two days straight until finally she crashed and much to our amazement she seemed to crash happily!

However, reflection is a wonderful thing.  Now as I sit typing this, and am no longer immersed in the stressfulness of the situation, I realize a memory was made for my family and a nice one.
