Our first week home was exhausting but we were SO happy to bring our babies home and not have to leave them in the NICU. We had lots of fun visitors. I'm so thankful to everyone who came.
Dalton got a special surprise from Grandpa Dalton. My grandpa started a tradition a long time ago that he would give money to the baby boys born in our family so they could invest it for their missions. My dad wanted to keep the tradition going. Good thing for him that he only has one grandson so far!
First swing in a blanket-a grandchild favorite!
A quick note about my dad-when we first found out that we were having a boy and a girl someone said to me, "I bet your dad will be so happy to have a grandson".
My reply was that I didn't think he would be any more excited to have a boy than a girl. He is SO cute with all of his granddaughters. He loves them and they couldn't love him more! He takes them out on the farm when we go home and sometimes they are with him ALL day.
We found out that the boppie (this one is called, "My Breast Friend-twin size") has many purposes. It can be used as a pretend snow sled (above) or a hula hoop (below)!
Mia LOVED baby Syd-en-nee.
She wanted NOTHING to do with Dalton because he is a boy. I put a cute turquoise onesie on Syd one day and Mia couldn't take it. She said, "Sydney needs PINK"!
One day Mia wanted to hold Sydney but she was super hungry. I said, "Let me feed her first."
She said, "I will feed her". Then she lifted up her shirt!
She also says lots of prayers for Sydney and says, "Please bless Sydney that she can me in my family."
If I ever lose Syd I know the first place I will look!
Can't thank my mom enough. I will write about her in a future post.

I love all of the pictures. Especially the one of Dalton with all of the cash. That is cool your dad does that. We can't wait to be the next visitors!! Only 2 more weeks!
So glad to see new pictures on your blog. Your Mom is a Saint. It was a joint effort from your family getting through that first month. So happy you are down the road a ways now. Keep up the good work Nat, Brett, Madi and Saige. Beautiful family......love my kids and grandkids.
