Holding Anika

Big brother and big sister holding Anika.

Big sister Elissa thought it was HER turn to hold Anika by herself on this picture. It always has to be her idea and when it is not you can see the reaction we get. Anika does not seem to mind the commotion though. Hunter also takes it all in stride. But I think his smile says “welcome to organized chaos!”

I have a collection of pictures from the past week of what we call “Busy Bits” that would be a nickname that came from my mom for Elizabeth. I will post the Busy Bits collection later this week. Kirsti said over the weekend to me that I really need to post 30 seconds of video of Elissa just so every can really see how busy she is. This morning she is keeping Nana busy and our house is quiet. Anika is sleeping in the baby swing. Hunter is reading. I have been puked on by dear Anika but have had a shower, brushed my teeth and made my bed. Check check check. And started laundry and now am going to make some lunch. My mat leave days as a stay at home mama are so different than my working days but I cherish and love each day.
