3 months with 3 kids- Lessons Learned

It has been a jam packed three months with three kids. Hard to believe the first month was full of snow days and now we're on the homestretch until summer (PRAISES!) There have been many things we've learned or relearned along the way. If I were going to give myself advice, this is what it would be. In no particular order.

1)  We will most likely be 7-10 minutes late to everything. Even with laying out things the night before or trying to think of those last minute things...there will be new last minute things. It's probably going to happen..go ahead and tell people you'll be 10 minutes late.

2)   Accept help ...from your family, from your friends, from the friendly chick fil a workers and nice people in the grocery store. Make the statement "Yes, I'd love you to___" a part of your vocabulary.

3) Forgiveness. Ask for it.. (See number 1 being late as one reason you'll need it)  from each other, from the people you inconvenience, etc. Give it. We (in our house) might need a little extra grace towards each other. Give it out abundantly!

4) Celebrate even small victories...Every one's fed (do a cheer!) We made it to school and work (oh yeah!) Every one's in agreement about where to go eat (alright!) And of course the firsts- baby first, big bro and sis firsts... all a reason to celebrate.

5) Enjoy...it truly is all a stage and it is too fast and too sweet to miss! So thankful for this crazy wonderful time in our lives.

Here are some of our most recent celebrations!
