Our First week home!

Well here I am ~ mother of four!! Very strange feeling really, and I 'm not quite sure what to do with all of these kids! LOL! I am definitely outnumbered now! But we have made it through this first week home alone and although it hasn't been all smiles, we did make it through with quite a few good times! All the kids have adjusted pretty well to Kemi's arrival and are all truly in love with their new sister! The most surprising was Niyi - he has not shown any jealousy at all and with him being so young we were getting ready for at least a few days of acting out, but there has been none! He is very sweet with his little sister and surprisingly enough he has been very gentle - for those of you who know my little man in real life 'gentle' is not the first word that comes to mind when thinking about him!

Kemi is now two weeks old and she is sleeping and eating well. Already she is holding her head up a lot more than before and she is beginning to really notice her surroundings. As for her temperament, she seems to be a pretty laid back kinda gal! As long as she has been fed recently she is quite content and she spends pretty much 20 hours per day asleep! The s are ready for her to be a little more interesting! You forget how much a newborn sleeps!

I have been so completely blessed by friends these past few weeks it has been very humbling. So many gifts, prayers, phone calls and meals have have been given to us and it has truly been a blessing! To all of my friends that have been a part of this time in our life we are touched and thank you all so much! It is always hard to be away from family at times like these, but you have all made this time a special one. You are all true 'family' to us - thank you!

So here are some more pictures of what we have been getting up to these past few weeks!

I told you he is gentle!

I had to take this picture of Kemi on snuggled up after her bath!

...yes we've been getting some school done too!

...and Niyi is as busy as ever!
(Yes that is one of my shoes he is wearing!)

We had an amazing sunset the other night!

I have just discovered that we don't have any good photos of me with anyone - I will work on that this week! I guess I am always the one behind the camera!
