The simple days of regular life with these three munchkins are my favorite. With kindergarten looming in the fall, I've instituted a new tradition that all of the kids get in bed with me in the morning and we have a slow and lazy morning. It usually starts at 6 a.m., so we have plenty of cuddle time without making it a late morning. Pretty soon, each morning will be taken over by finding shoes, book bags, signing papers, and driving to the bus stop. And before I know it, he'll be off to middle school, then high school, then a mission. Sigh...
But for now, we're enjoying the little things.
L got his first two teeth in the last week. He took the first one like a champ, without a single peep, but the second one was a bit more traumatic and meant lots more slobber, nursing at night, and these two fingers in this mouth all.the.time!
It's already been five months since we brought this guy home. He's my buddy! He's keeping his Killian features- darker hair and hazel eyes. At least for now. He looks like a dark version of Hinder as a baby. He's such a mild tempered kid. But he has started using a shrill scream on occasion. Sometimes when he's very happy and excited, or else when he wants to get attention amid the chaos of the other kids.
Hinder has been my life-saver lately. He helps a lot with the baby and is patient with Vyla when she's cranky. And she's been a little moody lately. I tease Riley that his cranky genes are making their appearance in our sweet little V.
Just kidding...but not really. :)
Hinder started karate about a month ago and loves it. It's such a great outlet for the winter months, and he takes it very seriously. We have to drive up to Deering to attend, which is always a good excuse to stop and have dinner with dad at UNE afterward.
We took this picture on Valentine's day when I realized that in 7 years of marriage we have SO few pictures of just us together. Like...maybe six? Not counting our wedding. Not acceptable.
Mr. Hurst is as busy as ever, but so far, he's rocking this semester. Not without a lot of work and sacrifice, but he's getting it done. Next week is Spring Break and we are all so excited for some family time. There's nothing better!
"Spring" break is kind of misleading though. We still have tons of snow on the ground and eight more inches are in the forecast for this week. Bad news for me and my running shoes. Good news for Mr. and his skis.

Cute, fun, simple post. My favorite kind. I am itching "re-meet" your family, because quite honestly it's been since Hinder was a wee-wee lad...more like toddler. Each one of your children seem so unique, I want to witness you all together as a family....you seem so fun!
