5 Scotts and A Grandma

Alright, I'm ready to get back to my regular blogging!  We made it through week 2!  It started Monday when we dropped Grandpa off at the airport.  We then headed to base to take the big kids to the doctor for the congestion and coughs.  They were put on meds and I think they're finally starting to feel better!  Thankfully Baby Brother didn't catch it!  Wednesday Liam went to the doctor because his umbilical cord fell off on Tuesday and it didn't look quite right.  The doctor reassured us that everything was fine and his belly button now looks like a belly button and not a mucus bloody mess.  The rest of the week was spent with the big kids taking morning walks with Grandma, playing in the pool, eating popsicles, having lunch outside, playing outside (when it wasn't too hot), Liam taking his first "real" bath and Anderson and Callie holding Liam for the first time (sorry for the fuzzy pictures from the phone camera).  Things are getting into a good routine here and I am so thankful that Grandma is here to help out!  We couldn't be doing this without her!  The hardest part for me right now is not being able to lift Anderson and Callie.  Every time they need in the highchairs and cribs or when they just want to be picked up and hugged I can't do it...insert David and Grandma here.  Hopefully, only 4 more weeks until I can pick them up-right now that seems like an eternity away and I can only imagine how out of shape me arms and back will be by then!
