Our first month post baby has been wonderful. I can’t believe it will be a month tomorrow! We have really enjoyed Darren being off work and getting to spend so much quality time together as a family. The kids have had a blast with the sprinkler ball. (they do have swim suits…but they are kept at Grandma’s) 
Our first eating out experience was with Grandma and Papa for dinner at Zaxbys. The kids HAD to sit next to him :) 
Another HUGE accomplishment is that Jack is swimming!!! He loves it and we are all so happy. He’s even going in the deep end!! They have been swimming at Papa’s pool so much now that they have each other to play with.
Grandma Great and Grandaddy Great came for Father’s Day weekend to meet Collin for the first time. He is their 4th great grandchild.
Although this ‘generation’ picture is a mix of blood lines, these are the men my boys will look up too. So happy they have great Christian examples in their lives. 
My mom and dad.
The girls…
My first attempt at getting a picture of just my kids. Collin was ready to scream, but it turned out pretty good and no babies were dropped!!
His first real bath. He didn’t cry, but the look on his face was a little perplexed. 
His eyes are still a slate blue… not sure what they are going to do. Everyone says he looks like Hailey when she was a baby (which means we might have a little Darren) As far as his demeanor… he loves to be held, only likes his swing or bouncy seat if he is asleep and he eats a lot!!! At his two week apt he was up to 8lbs 90z!!!! 
Pedro loves him too! (I promise I only let him kiss him once and then I make him back off! - he’d smother him with kisses if I let him!)
The other evening the kids helped with bath time. (yes Hailey is partially naked) Jack wanted to bathe him from head to toe and Hailey was more interested in using the play frogs as water guns!!!
Darren officially started back to work yesterday. He is out of town for the whole week. Me and the kids have done good these two days but we really miss Daddy!!!

I love all of the pictures. I think it was so sweet that Hailey and Jack wanted to help with baby brother's bath.
I will have to get some copies of those you took on Father's Day.
Looks like the kids are really enjoying their Summer vacation. It will be time for school to start before you know it.
I know you miss Darren after having him home for a month. It was a good experience for all of you.
Wish I was closer so I could get in on some of that "holding".
Love you,
Grandma
I'm so glad things are going well for you guys! I loved the family pics of all of you. Your mom and dad took a really good one together. Collin is just so sweet! Allyson says she loves the new babies at church.
1. I love this post so much!
2. Your boys are so incredibly handsome.
3. You look fabulous for just having a baby.
4. Your grandfather is so handsome!
5. I wish that I was there.
I thought that I had commented on your blog but I guess I didn't...I've been such a bad blogger lately. I love all of your pictures. So glad that Darren got so much time off to spend with Collin. Collin is growing so fast. He's such a sweet baby. I love your generation pictures. And the pic of the kids in front of the fireplace is so good.
