Almost 6 weeks after Caleb's birth and we're finding a routine.
Ahhhh, Normalcy. Schedule. It's nice to see you again.
We've been back in the Big Chicken for about 3 weeks now. We've never been so happy to say goodbye to PadThai and hello to Dumplings.
I was quickly reminded of our welcoming back home when my texts started looking like this...
Normalcy and Schedule include a lot of time with this dude:
The Asian dude, not Caleb. Well, Caleb too.
But every morning our tutor comes and hangs out with us all morning, joins us for lunch, and occasionally stays through the afternoon if we're feeling the desire for more inundation of Chinese.
The kids knew we were back to normal when he started showing up at our door again every morning.
A normal day at our place includes plenty of brother time.
Salem so happened to get some of Caleb's first smiles.
The normal days also include this tall, gorgeous, almost-4-year-old, who is back in preschool again and truly doing great with it.
A normal day for Salem now includes sleeping on a big boy bed below his sister on their bunk bed.
I'll admit that Caleb is a fairly easy baby and his normal days include plenty of sleep.
While the other two enjoy living room forts...
Caleb also does his fair share of this...
But even through the screams. The scary fevers at 2 a.m. The baby barf on every.single.one.of.my.shirts. He's worth it. And I'm so glad my days include some alone time with this dude every 3 hours!
Normalcy. Schedule. Routine.
Stick around for awhile, won't you?

Luuuurve the new pics of your three sweetumses! Glad y'all are settling in and getting back into a routine. Kiss on those kiddos for me!
First, you got great looking kids!! I love how Caleb is so Chancler looking and yet his own little person all the same.
Second, I'm still in my pre-newborn-back-in-the-house-routine and I'm jealous of your newborn-already-in-the-home-routine.
Keep the pics coming!
This post almost made me cry. :)
He's just gorgeous! I'm so glad you're getting to enjoy one another so much! I look forward to more pics!
Love love love it!
