My little Picaso's

As I wrote in a previous post, we borrowed Mike's brother's bunk bed and turned it into a loft bed for Sarah. We thought it would be fun to let the kids paint the board on her bed, so she would have something fun to look at instead of just brown wood. Tonight we had some family time and got creative.

Sarah painted a rainbow, high tower and the sky above Mike's picture. She also had fun at the end adding her hands and feet to the mix.



Steven focused on modern art with an emphasis in lines and dots. I like the way the lines represent his daily striving to stay on the straight and narrow path and how the dots represent the bumps we all face. ("Intro to art" was my 2nd lowest college grade if you can't tell)



Mike had a lot of fun channeling his inner Bob Ross. It was fun listening to him narrating his painting and seeing how quickly he could add the elements. I love my big little kid.



The kids all added their footprints to mark the occasion. I thought Steven's feet were the same size as Sarah's, but she still has a slight edge on him.

Adam contributed his foot print, but mostly just hung out. :-)

Adam's First Month

I can't believe that a month has already passed away. Here is a brief rundown of what Adam has been up to.

- He eats
- He sleeps
- He poops

:-) Besides feeling blessed that he's my son, I'm grateful he's such a good baby. The only times he cries, besides these past couple days, are when he's hungry and tired. Other than that, he's a very pleasant baby. He's started smiling and making faces and it's so much fun to just watch him sleep. (8/17-update, he now cries when he's not being held during the day, but he's still cute and adorable)

His siblings are still infatuated with them. I've noticed they've become a little jealous of the time Adam gets, but thankfully they never take it out on him. Sarah is a little mommy and always wants to hold him. I've let her carry him a couple times, and although it makes me nervous, it gives her a great sense of satisfaction. I did leave the room once and heard the thump when he fell to the floor, but she felt terrible and I learned to just stay right there. She has been really helpful.


They helped me bathe him, and it was pretty humorous. The towel over his privates slipped and Sarah got a face full of urine. Thankfully we all laughed about it.


This has been a great month with our little family. We love this our little Adam Jett!
