Callahan's First 2 weeks, Last week before School

What a few weeks it has been!  Callahan has been in our world for a little over 2 weeks now. He's sweet, he's a great baby, all he does is sleep and eat and we just love him. He's been pretty adaptable to our crazy life so far. This past week was the first week for me to have all three boys by myself all day, everyday. I have been feeling ok, not 100%, but I also had the two big boys to entertain so it's not like I had much choice in getting out and about this week! Since it was Mason's last week before school starts I wanted to enjoy him in the things we love to do as well. Monday we ventured to the park and met some friends. I was only able to go because they greeted me at my car, unloaded all of our gear (bikes and stroller) and helped load us up at the end. It was wonderful to do something that was normal, get out of the house and see some friends. Tuesday morning we got donuts. Of course we ate everything pretty fast and the boys went to the counter and ordered more and paid all by themselves. They thought they were so big! And everyone thought I was a bit crazy having a one week old in my arms along with Mason and Sutton, haha. Thursday we met Taylor at the pool for a little while. I can't get in the water so I sat on the side and Taylor was on duty with the kids. Friday we took Callahan to have a weight check at the doctor and then headed to McDonald's for lunch so the boys could play and I could sit with C. Overall, I really enjoyed my last week with both boys. I can't even believe Mason starts full time school tomorrow. I have cried so many tears over it that I"m hoping I just hold it together tomorrow so he can be excited. We rode bikes, we played with chalk, we dug, we painted, we built with legos, we read books, we colored, we played ninjas…we did everything we love to do this week despite me being completely sore and exhausted! I'm pretty proud of myself for not sitting on the couch all week like I really wanted to do and probably should have done…

Callahan is the perfect addition to our family. It still feels very weird to say that I have three boys to strangers….it sounds scary, yet super fun, dirty, and exciting! I love it. He has been loved on, rocked, played with, read books to, he's had a big few weeks and I can't wait for more to come.
