Plug a hole

We have a new game to play when the babies get fussy. All you need is three fussy babies, one couch and three pacifiers. You know the whack a mole game at Chuck E Cheese? Well, the game is to see how fast one person can fill all three mouths with pacifiers. The kids do a great job of spitting them out every few seconds so there is a continuous random rotation of filling the holes. I'll try to video the next time conditions permit. However, this is one case where I am not necessarily looking forward to those conditions.

We have had lots of visitors lately and are thrilled to hand them some babies the moment they come in the door. Holly, Christie & Guy, Julie W, Julie Morrison, Jack and Debby, Wylie & Hans, Esther, Kelly, Jonathon and Rebecca, and of course Grandparents.

My parents are here for the weekend giving a much needed break for Rebecca's parents who have spent the last two weekends with the kids while I was on a church leadership retreat and Rebecca and I both went to a wedding in Napa. We are very thankful to have family that is so willing and able to help. We also continue to be amazed at the generosity of friends. On Monday this week, it was a rough day. Rebecca mentioned that two of them taking care of the babies, at times, was not enough. We started calling and emailing and in no time help was arranged for nearly the duration of the week. What a blessing! If you want to be placed on the "last minute helper" list email Rebecca. If you come, don't worry. We won't give you all three at once. We reserve piling three babies in one lap to professionals. :)
