8/21

 I’ve been wanting to take the boys to the best donuts in Sumter for 2 trips, so we left for school early this day to enjoy some treats. And they were pretty good.

Mia’s hair is so long and so white!
Quiet days of baby cuddles are the very best!
Love my girls!
Lu did a photo shoot with her 4 (!) kids. 
Henry just always looks like trouble around his little sister. 🤣
I did Monsters Inc. for Disney movie night that night. 
It was a fun one!
We had to borrow a blender to make this magic happen. 
Sully smores dip. 😋 
Aren’t these the cutest?!

It’s a little like Christmas morning every time the crew comes in to see the movie we’ll be enjoying. 
These were a lot of work, but one of my favorite Disney things I’ve made. 
Emmett and Mia cuddled while we watched Monsters. 
We also played some Mario Cart. 
I guess a Delaney Mia picture is how we end every post now.

8/20

 All out of order, but Mia came home! Littlest big brother was unsure.

But when Lexi tried to take Mia back, he grabbed on tight!

And why do big siblings look so big when babies come home?!
Giant head kisses. 
He was so happy when his mom and dad got home! We got the cutest video of him going to the door and making the happiest noises. Then Lu took off her shoes and in his excitement Henry tripped right over them and said clear as can be “owwww!” It was the funniest. 
None of my girls have been around brand new newborns, so that was super special. We just missed Frankie!
So so happy!
And eating his brekkie before everyone came home. 
Mia ready to come home from the hospital. 🎀 
We’re in love. 
Henry is a good little helper! He throws away diapers and cleans up spills. 
Lu took one look at this *on our way to school!* pic and said “we’re getting their hair cut this weekend.” And they did. 
I could mug in newborn baby cheeks all day. Thankfully after several days of rest Delaney was feeling so much better. 
We got our traditional happy birthday and it’s a girl balloons. 
The boys came home a few hours later and were obsessed. 
Such an exciting day!
Mia was a total trooper!
And everyone did a good job sharing our sweet girl. 
Helpful Henry putting the luggage away. 
And the most daddy cuddles!
Just two babies of the families!
This was actually the first shot of Henry holding Mia. So proud of himself!

 Adi got up with the boys the next morning since I’d had such a late night at the hospital. Delaney got super sick when we got there and had the worst achey cold, so she was no help. Even though she could have, we didn’t want her to get anyone else sick with a brand new baby coming .

Lu makes fun of Adi and her “dinner rolls” shirt from Thanksgiving that she always wears, so of course she put Henry in his “bread” Thanksgiving shirt.  
I was charging my phone so sat down to eat in a little nook by the couch and Henry came up right next to me and plopped down to share. I’m obsessed with this guy!
And this gal!
I love a good hearing test shot. 
I picked up the boys from school while Adi played with Henners. 
We knew the crew would have to stay another night, what with Lexi’s antics. 🤣 Emmett’s 7-year-old incredulousness. 
It was *so* hot outside that we really just stayed inside to play mostly. And this girl after 3 brothers has alllll the bows. 
Mia says “no bow - no go.”
