this picture perfectly depicts the bit of spectacle we've felt this week while learning to adjust to a family of five... i.e. stover baby being handled incessently by stover girl who is constantly cueing mom to feed and wake the baby; stover boy refusing to participate, growling at the baby, and running off in tears; stover mom attempting an assortment of unsuccessful approaches to behavioral change; and stover dad taking it all in stride... thank goodness we love fairs, carnivals and parties!

Is that you all dressed for church a mere 5 days after giving birth? Wow!
About the circus. Hang in there. I know you know that it will get better and that these times of adjustment are temporary, though difficult. You are one of the best moms I know. You can do it!
Thank goodness stover baby is such a good eater and sleeper. Can't wait till I get to meet her!
Ok seriously, what is that baby's name? The blog is private so share the goods, Mandy! And did you really go to church already? You are beyond incredible (and maybe a little crazy, too!) Love ya! :)
christen- seriously, you know how social work crazy i am about publicity- check your email inbox.

jl- we are not THAT crazy--- had an impromptu baby blessing at the home with both sets of grandparents and aunt present!
and thanks for the vote of confidence.
Congrats you guys; she sure is a cutie! I hope you all adjust to having a baby around. The kids look like they love her.
Um that picture is classic! But be assured the 3 ring circus eventually moves on to another town and things will settle down-promise!
