Settling in and Jet Lag!

So we are figuring out this family of 5 stuff and trying to settle into a new routine.  But man oh man...jet lag!  Woo, it's a doozie!  Little man doesn't seem to be that bothered by it, but he goes full speed all the time!
 This one has been making us laugh at the places and situations that she falls asleep!  ;)
 Another sleep little girl...
 but nope, not this guy!
 This was the perfect size for a little ride!  ;)
 Jeter is loving baths now!  The more bubbles the better!  He would probably take 5 baths a day if we let him.  If he sees anyone else in the tub he about loses his mind to get in too!  ;)
 The girls and I did a little baking during Jeter's nap one day...
 They were anxious for him to wake up!
 They took a break to play...
 finished up baking...

 Oh and poor Dusty...
 Jeter adds a whole other level to messiness!
 The fort they built ended up being perfect for a little nap!  Ryne slept over 3 hours under there!
 And this boy fell asleep at Target!
 Thankfully, Reese has been able to hang on to her amazing chopstick skills that she picked up in China!  ;)

 So lots of sweet bonding, random naps, and little girls wide awake at 11pm!

China in a nutshell...

It is crazy that the thing that we have been working towards and waiting on for 14 months happened!  Looking back it went by in a flash.   
So thankful for this man that I get to do this crazy life with!
So thankful for this kid and her love of life and all things fun!
Oh and this precious little girl that is pure sweetness!
 China was crazy and the girls drew quite the crowd!  ;)
 We were there a couple of days and then this amazing moment happened!
 Oh my gosh I love this sweet precious boy!
 The 3 Francis kids playing blocks!
 Party of 5!
 The first week it rained pretty much all day every day...
 Next stop Gangzhou!
 Life of the party always!
 swimming every day...with or without swimsuits!

 sweet snuggly boy!
 this is how he napped every day!



 last lunch in China!
 We had professional pictures while we were there and she did amazing!  Our kids were not cooperative, so we were very happy that she got some good ones!

 Oh my goodness sweet boy!  We are over the moon excited that you are now a Francis!  We love you and can not imagine our lives without you!  You bring so much joy, excitement, and love!  We adore you Jeter Liam.
