Many people wonder how crazy I have to be to have 3 boys with another on the way. I hear all sorts of stuff when I am out and about with them:
"Three boys? You have your hands full!"
"Are they all yours?"
"Is the next one a girl? (I answer nope, my 4th boy) Oh you poor thing!"
"Are you going to keep going until you have a girl?"
"How do you do it with 3 boys?"
On and on, yada, yada, yada.
Let me tell you why I am not going crazy and lossing my mind. Is it b/c I have a wonderfully supportive husband that does anything I ask of him?...(insert HUGE laugh here) Sure, Gary is a wonderul daddy and the boys adore him but he is AWFUL at multitasking. He has gotten LOADS better though so I cannot complain. If he watches the boys, they are watched, that's it. He is actually great at the bed time routine: He feeds them, gets them in their PJ's, reads them books, says prayers, sings songs, and then says goodnight. Pretty good huh?!?
No, it is not Gary's wonderful abilities as a dad or my amazing house keeping, child rearing skills. They are just good kids who play nicely together.
Seriously, I have to buy a camera just so I can video record them playing together. It's amazing! I can be cleaning the house for hours, paying bills, talking on the phone, etc-and they are in the toy room playing Legos or Star Wars figurines or cars or ....the list goes on and on. Now, this does not mean there are never any disputs or fights-it just means they are few and far between. My kids do not get into things they are not supposed to. No BBQ sauce on the rug, no crayons on walls, no glue stuck in my carpet. (Thank you Father for sending me OCD kids!)
All in all I feel like a very blessed lady with extremely wonderful children whom I adore and cannot even express how much I love them!

We love your boys too! In fact we were just watching home videos today and my children leaped with joy anytime they saw Zech or Gabe.
