Rise n' Shine

This morning Camilla came and crawled into bed for a snuggle around 6:00am. I think it was much needed snuggle time for the girl, and she tucked in really close to me and went right back to sleep. I woke up around 6:30 and turned my head to peak through the curtains at the blue sky. It was going to be a good day. Mr. Stannix opened his eyes shortly after me and we exchanged whispers for a few minutes, smiling at our little girl snuggling in the bed with us. Not too soon after, we heard mister Hyrum stir in the crib next door. Daddy went to get him and brought him into bed too! From left to right it went Daddy, Hyrum, Mommy, and Camilla. It was a sweet little moment. I wish I could have photographed all four of us squished on our double bed. It was then that we joked that a queen bed is a necessity for a family of four. It wasn't long until 7:00am rolled around and we all had to get up. I tried sneaking my arm out from underneath Camilla and she shuffled herself further down on the bed and under the covers and kept sleeping for a few more minutes. Mr. Stannix and I giggled out loud because with her crazy hair and non-responsiveness she looked like she had had a rough night. I can't imagine it's easy sharing a room with a baby that wakes up so often as Hyrum does. She does well! 

I successfully managed (with help from Mr. Stannix) to have all kids dressed and fed and out the door by 7:30am so that we could make our appointment at the Doctors office. It was quite the adventure with the two kids, but Camilla did well at holding my hand and walking. We spent the morning with Great Gramma and Grampa and the kiddos snoozed on the way home. I must say, I finally feel very very tired. I am excited to get to bed early tonight! 

Hyrum is doing very well and is a very content and happy baby boy.
