We are really enjoying life with our 3 little boys! I don't think things will ever go back to the way they were before, but our new normal isn't that bad! The main thing I miss right now is being able to shower when I want to rather than when the boys give me a free moment, which is always later in the day than I would like... but other than that, life is pretty good!
BROTHERS
Benjamin (front) & Samuel are really opening their eyes now and looking around at the world.
Samuel (left) and Benjamin are sometimes happy just hanging out together.
They are especially happy hanging out in their bouncers together.
Joshy loves hanging out with his brothers too. Here he is with Benjamin...
...and with Samuel.
Joshua is a good big brother!
He really is so BIG compared to his tiny, little brothers.
HALLOWEEN
Joshy was a monster ("monter") for Halloween.
I thought it looked like a dragon costume, but he corrected me every time.
The babies were Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the Cat in the Hat book. Ryan's shirt says, "Let me show you a thing or two."
Here's Samuel in his costume. (Benjamin was crying and so did not get a picture in his costume.)
My dad took Joshua trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. Joshua's favorite treat was a Hot Wheel car that a nice neighbor gave him from her special treat stash. Way better than candy!
Although he did like the candy... see! Ooh, yum!
A family friend carved this pumpkin for Joshy. He loved it!
"AMIMALS"
Joshy really loves animals. Here he is playing zoo with Grandma.
Here is Joshua's ark.
His crib is filled with way too many must-have animals and blankets.
Joshy, Bear, & Giraffe are all snuggled up in Joshua's dinosaur sleeping bag.
SLEEPING BABIES
They sleep a lot right now, so I have tons of pictures of the boys asleep.
Don't be fooled into thinking that these boys always sleep at the same time because they most certainly do not. I wish they would! Maybe someday...
BENJAMIN
Here's Benjamin relaxing on the couch and staring at the window. Both boys love looking at any source of light.

SAMUEL
He looks like such a tiny, little thing here since he is curled up like a snail... a cute snail!
Snuggled up on Auntie Karen's shoulder.
It looks like Samuel is really trying to memorize his daddy's face.
JOSHUA
Joshua loves cars in general, so it's pretty lucky for him that there is all sorts of "Cars," the movie, paraphernalia available these days.
"Puh-tin!" (pumpkin)
Joshua feels pretty cool whenever he gets to talk on the phone. He's talking with his Daddy in this picture.
Gotta love Nutella!
"Cheese!" I love that Joshua can smile on cue now. He's so cute!
BLESSING DAY
Benjamin and Samuel
The boys got all fancied up in their suits to go to church.
The proud Papi!
Quite a few of our family members came to hear the boys' blessings.
Some of Ryan's family, including a few cousins, came down for a visit to meet the new baby boys. We had so much fun with them and are so glad they came!
BATHING BOYS
All the boys LOVE taking baths!
DAILY LIFE WITH TWINS
We certainly have our hands...
...and arms full with our boys!
It's a bit of an adjustment going from our sleek, single stroller to this unwieldy beast, but it is nice to be able to go on walks with the little boys asleep in their car seats.
The babies don't ever want to be set down, so we've gotten pretty good at multitasking.
This wrap is great because I can hold all my boys (except for Ryan) at the same time.
