I've always thought it special that although Isaac landed the coveted (ha!) middle spot in the family he does get the distinction of "oldest boy". Sure, he lands right smack dab in the middle of the pack, but his big brother status elevates his standing and he loves it :)
John Paul and Luke move at one basic speed: keep-up-with-the-big-kids fast. If Isaac gets to do it, then they are right there waiting for their turn. John Paul insists on wearing his backpack when we drop Isaac at school. Isaac wears backpack = John Paul wears backpack, regardless of whether or not John Paul is actually going to school!
I love watching them together. Each so different, such unique personalities, but also inextricably bound to one another in brotherhood and spending their days rubbing shoulders with one another.
Three years top to bottom, these three boys of mine. The days just keep getting more fun.
[And we fly through food faster than ever! Luke is our newest bottomless pit and we. eat. so. much. food. What will we do when they are in high school?!?]
Heading towards Friday of this first week of school. I'm still figuring out how all the pieces of the day fit together and not juggling it well much of the time. Oh well. We are wearing clean clothes and the dinner table is wiped clean. For today, that'll have to be close enough.

Will routinely eats as much or more than me!! Eric doesn't eat as much right now but I know its coming. I need a part time job to help with the grocery bill.
Love the post. Thx Laura. Jan
some days, the only reason that our dog is fed and the table is wiped is because it is on one of the kid's chore lists! and some days, the table isn't wiped because they forget (but the dog is always fed - he makes sure we don't forget him.) but we survive even with chaos. praying for you as you get settled into your routine.
Looking forward to feeding all those hungry tummies!
