Loads more pictures






So we had the most wonderful first week.  It was so great to have Ben home for 9 days, we all loved it.  I read about this couple doing a "babymoon" when their baby was born, and I thought that sounded fun.  Ours was more of a family moon, since this was our 3rd child, but that is really what it felt like.  We called it our staycation (stay at home vacation).  Ben took the girls to do fun activities, we had homemade fruit smoothies almost every day, and splurged and got the most delicious chocolate cake from Costco.  


Saturday and Sunday I got a little sad because Ben was going back to work on Monday, but I also knew that real life didn't have to set in yet.  My mom flew in late sunday night and we have her here all week, and that is soooo helpful.  

Anyway here are a bunch of pictures from our familymoon or staycation.


Zephyr all stretched out (thanks Shawn I LOVE this outfit)



Prairie being the big sister and loving it



Naked Zephyr 



Autumn pushing Zephyr in her doll stroller




Autumn holding Zephyr



Zephyr's first Sunday at Church
the kids in their coordinating outfits 


Ben with the kids (Ben has bowtie out of the plaid fabric, and Zephyr has a real tying bowtie too, thanks to Lindsey and Fred for letting me take a pattern off of Fritz's bowtie)



The whole family (no I don't have anything with the plaid on)




Prairie and Zephyr snuggling together, I went to get Prairie's pajamas for her, and she laid down next to Zephyr and shared her Monkey blanket with him, and if you know Prairie that is very special that she was willing to share the blanket
