A "Whole" Family - Sunday, Apr 26th

Emma, Geneva and Jackson awoke at 6:30am Sunday morning excited to meet their new brother. They had to wake until we woke Maddox up at 8:30am. Maddox certainly doesn’t seem to be suffering from jet lag like Britt and I. The meeting was great. Maddox smiled at them and that sent them into giggles. Since then there has been some great times and some growing pains. Maddox has to get used to sharing us after having us all to himself for a week, and the other 3 have to get used to having a little brother around that is into all their stuff (especially Jackson). So far pretty much like we thought...Emma is the little mother, Geneva is interested one minute then not interested the next, Jackson is territorial (with his stuff and with me), and Maddox is holding his own.
Lots has happened since we were gone. Emma went from a timid bike rider to a pro…doing lots of stuff that make her mom nervous, as only a mother can get. Geneva was riding her bike with training wheels when we left and now she is riding without training wheels, stopping on her own without help. Jackson is peddling his trike to keep up with his big sisters. They did great while we were gone, but are happy to have us back too. I’ll take some pictures today and get them posted before we head back to Topeka tomorrow.
