So long, farewell 2014

 The night Austin came home from the hospital we had a fun family Christmas dinner.  It was a relief to get out of the hospital and be with family and watch the kids have fun with cousins.  It had been an exhausting couple of days, though I didn't know it then we still had a long way to go, stupid jaundice.

Blake is quite the little drift racer fcx on his wiggle bike, he's a bit dangerous actually, but he had lots of fun zooming around using his cousins as obstacles to not crash into.

Jared had to pull out the Rugby ball and Grandpa and Bronson had a good game of catch.

 Sweet little baby enjoying not having a needle in his head and tape around his eyes :( We should have been sent home from the hospital to do lights at home but it wasn't until Tuesday night I think after lots more poking that we finally did.  I'm a bit mad looking back at it lots of stupid calls were made, starting in the hospital.  I'm just glad it's over.

 Grandma had cute costumes for everyone while Grandpa read the Christmas story.  I wish I would have had a video of Levi, he was so cute and excited as he came in as a little shepard.  I couldn't stop smiling watching him, he looks like he could be right out of the Charlie Brown Christmas.  He loves doing any kind of special festivities.

 Cute Boys

 I think we had these lights for about 2 weeks, not 2 days like with Blake.  Poor baby got so sick of laying in there the blue blanket on top had holes worn in many places.  We were very glad the day his level had finally made it to 10.

 Christmas - I'm afraid it was not the Christmas I imagined.  Honestly I was just glad to get it over with so we didn't have to worry about it any more.  I wouldn't recommend having a December baby to anyone, unless it was your first but even then not really.  Christmas was . . . I don't even know good but was missing a bit of magic I guess.  I think the boys noticed as well, hopefully they won't be scarred for life.

 Austin loves getting baths, he doesn't get them very often and they don't last very long . . . oh the fun realities of 4 kids.  It does become hard to live and enjoy the moment rather than thinking about what's coming next, but we are trying.

 Blake on the other hand can have 2 or even 3 showers a day sometimes.  He loves the shower and sometimes it's nice to to have a place to put him where he's not getting into trouble.  Most days I lock the hall bathroom because he'd be in the toothpaste, or lotion and soap making lovely works of art for me.  It is a bit of deja vu when Bronson was 2 and Levi was a baby. Cute little stinkers.

 Getting bigger and losing his hair on top.

 Blake got a nice little shiner from running into the corner of the table.  It's amazing two year olds survive honestly, yesterday he fell off the counter, then slid and fell on his back on the tile step that goes into our shower - ouch.

 Here is Austin's repainted nursery, a bit different than the original plan, I'm still not quite sure what the plan is with this one but it seems to work pretty well as a quiet napping place.
