Time flies when your having fun or really busy

I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. Summer is over and fall is now upon us. Next week the babies will be 3 months old and I will be going back to work. Next month, Hayden will be three years old. I guess time really does fly when you are having fun or at the very least it flies when you have 4 kids.
The babies are all growing up so fast. They are all smiling now and everyone coos/talks. Claire a typical girl, she has a lot to say and loves to "talk" to anyone who will listen. Jake loves to talk to his "friend" in the mirror and Quinn has a lot to say in the mornings. He sits in his bouncy seat and tells me all about this night while I feed his siblings. Jake has also learned a fun new trick. He can now role over. He is very proud of himself and usually has a big grin on his face when he turns from his tummy to his back.
The babies are not only developing nicely they are all getting very chubby, especially Jake with his three chins. Here are their latest weights.
Quinn 11 lbs, 1 oz, 23 inches long
Jake 13 lbs, 3 oz, 23 inches long
Claire 9 lbs 10 oz, 21.25 inches long.
For the most part things are going well but it can be real challenge at times. Recently, we have begun to experience the lovely fussy time from 6pm to about 10pm when the last kid finally settles down. I find peace in the fact that this stage will pass. Hopefully it will pass sooner than laster.
Please remember us in your prayers. We need all the help we can get :)

HI Jen
We will be thinking of you on Wednesday, as you start back to work. I love your attitude! On that day, we will be arriving in Dover. Keep posting, so I can check on everyone as we travel. I'll be looking forward to starting my stint as "Grandma in charge" on October 3. Hope I'll be awake!
Love
Mom
