When the babies turned 2 months Samantha Bender of SB Photography came to our house and took all the kids pictures. I haven't seen all of them yet but she does have some of them posted on her blog and they are absolutely wonderful. Especially the ones of Olivia! So cute! I have to admit I wasn't sure how they were going to turn out and was afraid that they would look like pictures that I would take since they were at the house, but she did a great job and as you can see I obviously couldn't take those.

And on another note we hired a nanny! Yes, I wasn't sure we really needed one. But after a few days on my own and a little convincing from Adam I was ready. Luckily we found someone right away. Her name is Nicole and she is going to Coe College for Early Education. She just started Friday and I'm already grateful for her. She comes in the mornings at 7:30 and stays all day until 6:30 pm. She is great with the kids and helps out a lot around the house. What a blessing! I have found that one mother can take care of 3 two month olds and 1 one and a half year old by herself if she absolutely has to. But it runs a lot smoother if you have an extra set of hands. And if you are so blessed to have a third person you can get a lot of things done and you might even get out of the house for an hour!
So, all is going well here. Liv is doing great, she is a wonderful big sister, and the babies are busy being babies...crying, eating, sleeping, and pooping (usually in that order too!). As for Adam and I, we are still trying to make it through the night feedings. :)
Oh, and I also want to thank everyone that has been helping us out. Whether you have donated your time, money, and/or food we greatly appreciate it. We really do need all the help we can get at this point. I'm sure you all know the phrase, "it takes a village to raise a child." well, we know that now more then ever! Adam and I are so grateful for all of you!
