sorry, I know it has been a MONTH! I can't believe it has gone by that fast. Here are some older photos I found. I promise we will get some more soon.
It has been a long month. Adjusting to 3 kids has its ups and downs for sure. The hardest part is just not feeling like I have enough time for the girls, I feel like I am neglecting them. When I am not feeding, burping, changing, bouncing and holding Cohen, I am trying to catch up on house work. But I have been blessed with good girls who love to play with each other and they have been very helpful with pick-up and helping out with Cohen and being quiet when I need to nap.
I have had awesome help from so many people. I was so lucky to have my mother-in-law come and take a week off of work and stay to help out the first week I was home. She did everything from cooking, cleaning the house and kids, grocery shopping and getting kids off to school. She even stocked my freezer with ready-to-go meals. Thank you Sharon. I also had my mom come out for 4 days, she was able to do a lot of cleaning and cooking and give my kids the attention that I couldn't. She even watched my girls for Valentines evening so Dan and I could go out (with Cohen). And she helped me clean the mess you would call my closet!! I have been avoiding it for some time but now it is nice to go in and actually see the clothes. My last visitor was Clara, my roommate from college and her son William who is a year old. She came for a week and did my cooking and cleaning and entertained me and my girls!!! Seriously her son did too. I have had so many people from the ward help out by bringing meals and watching the girls. And just yesterday I had all the achievement day girls come over to do a service project by cleaning my house!
So thank you to all who have helped make this past month go by a little easier, and to all who have loaned, donated or given so many gifts to little Cohen. I appreciate you all!

He is a doll. I can't believe he is already a month old and I haven't seen him yet. I am a slacker of a friend. I need to come up and see you.
Thanks for the update! Lower your standards of house cleaning for about another 6 weeks. Your girls are resiliant. They will be okay!
We had so much fun out there with you guys! We will miss you. Brian wished he could have come. Hope you are doing good and Dan stays home next week :)
I love love love Cohen. It makes me sad to think I haven't met him yet. But I...okay here's a quotation, see if you can name it!--"I know him from the stories my mother would tell me...I had faith that I knew him deep down deep...." Oh darn it I got off subject. I love Cohen. Yes. I want to meet him. Nielle he really is SO handsome. I wish I could be there to help you take care of him and your girlies and make you dinner and breakfast in bed and lunch and bring you haagan daaz ice cream popsicles at 2 am.
Three can be a little overwhelming, I know. It's been a year and I still feel like I'm catching up most of the time. I guess that's why we haven't been up more! Cohen is beautiful and we love him so much. You are a wonderful family.
I'm glad to hear you have had so much help! It would be so fun to come and see you guys, but I"m sure with my prenancy tiredness and 3 kids wouldn't really be that much of help! Okay they might actually entertain though!
And Havens bangs! When did you cut those mommas! They are cute but they totally make her look different! Older I think. Anyway love ya girl keep up the good work! love you
