Snug as a bug on a rug

Thanks to everyone for kind words and open ears after Plato's passing. I still feel like I'm missing something when I get everyone into the car or go upstairs at the end of the day, but I've been doing pretty well most days.

Things have been quite fun around here, now that the weather is warming up! I've taken so many pics and videos the last few days, but until I get time to download them, here are a few of the 3 kids having some floor time. The girls continue to be sweet to their brother in general, but we're going through some terrible twos and/or sibling rivalry issues that make Mommy a little frazzled at times... Dani especially is using tantrums to get a bit more of my attention, and Alex has been whiney and clingy if I'm not able to give her enough one-on-one. It doesn't help that Ben can be pretty fussy, therefore stealing a lot of my focus. I hope to get him on a schedule over the next few weeks so I can make sure the girls have my attention when they need it.

Here are the "wei three". Dani is on the left. Ben is in the middle. hee hee ;) He's getting so big! His 4 week weigh in was 12 pounds 11 ounces - he was 8 lbs at birth!
