    I can't believe how quickly these last 3 months have gone. It's been such a blur. I went back to work full time on Monday. It's so hard not being with my boys every day, but it's also kind of good to be getting back into a regular routine. My mom and my sister are sharing the responsibility of watching the boys. My mom comes to my house on Mondays and Fridays and watches Van and Finn while big sister Ava goes to daycare. On Tues-Thurs all 3 of my kids go to my sister's house. She's got 18 month old twin girls, a 4 year old son and my 3 kids. I believe she'd be breaking some sort of child care law if 1/2 of the kids didn't belong to her, but she's doing great with it. She's the only person I know who could handle the stress of watching that many kids. I'm so grateful to her for her help. I couldn't imagine anyone else taking care of my kids. She's such a great sister!
    The boys are doing great. They're such cuties. They've got such great dispositions. Finn tends to require a bit more attention at times and Van is my little mellow man. They both have such great smiles that I get to see more and more. They are so smitten with their big sister. They both break out into giant grins when they hear her voice. And she just loves them (most of the time). I feel so complete with my family. It's such a blessing. Now, if I could just get some sleep! :)
    Anyway, here are some pictures that my sister took of them yesterday. They are so damn cute!

    So cute! Thanks for sharing and that is wonderful that your family is able to help take care of your kiddos. By far the most stressful thing for me after going back to work was the childcare issue.

    So cute! You have beautiful children! By the way, my dad's name is Van and it is DS2 middle name. Is Van short for anything?

    Thanks for the compliments! No, Van isn't short for anything, it's a name dh and I could agree on. It was going to be my dd's name had she been a boy... Thanks again for commenting!!
