Maddie sleeps a lot.
Colin is torn between trying to do everything his brothers do and hanging with me. It is easier to hang with me since when I am at home we veg. And the brothers can go do what ever they want to do. Currently they are playing with two older neighborhood girls. One of which is very bossy.
Jack, wants a Pillow Pet for his birthday. And today we went online and ordered. Man, they really try to sucker you to get an extra this and that to go with those silly things. Jack is excited for it and to have his birthday party at Pump It Up at the end of this month. Jack went golfing with Grandpa yesterday. It was kid's day at the country club. And Jack showed very little interest in following directions. Oh well. At least he got out there and whacked it. He was the only one of the boys that went, so hopefully he felt special.
Ryan is a tease. He loves to push buttons, especially Jack's. And he does it slyly. Usually we don't here Ryan do whatever it is that he does to Jack. We just hear Jack's reactions. Or I guess sometimes we do hear Ryan, but that is usually after Jack punches him, throws something at him or otherwise tries to maim him after Ryan does whatever he does to him. Ryan is a good kid though and he is often a good helper and lets Colin tag along with him outside or wherever. He also wanted a Pillow Pet. he has for a long time, probably over a year. So he is getting one, but we made him pay for it. He raided his piggy bank and paid us. Does he know the value of money, not really, but eventually it will sink in I hope.
Bridget and I are doing fine. And we are looking forward to getting into a routine.

More of Maddie
A picture of Maddie today, July 10th:
Madeline and Bridget are came home yesterday. We are very happy that she is here and that she and Mom are doing well. She has been mildly fussy, but newborns are really sort of a let down. I mean, they are sort of cute. But they are cuter when they are a bit older in my opinion. They just eat, poop and hopefully sleep. Lots of sleep. (sigh)
Our boys haven't been the best sleepers. I sure hope that our girl is different. That would be wonderful.
Another observation: Clothes for girls often look like they belong at the circus. All those bright colors and so forth. They just look silly sometimes. This outfit that was the one Maddie wore home is one example. It was a gift, so I must admit that I am grateful for it and all the help and gifts we received. But if an adult were wearing this than it had better be Halloween. And a few sizes bigger, 'cause that would be scary otherwise.
Anyway, here are some more pictures and a video of Colin holding Maddie for the first time.
