Rachel’s Here – So Mom is Multitasking!

Raleigh, NC

August 15 2019

Three are a lot!

Poor Pop Pop! Three noisy, wiggly, giggly kids have him at their mercy. Megan has figured it out. She simply picks up the little one, corrals the others, and off they roar.

Look at this sleeping bundle of innocence! She’s good as gold for Megan.

So while Rachel sleeps, mom can help Jake hide Easter eggs. Easy! Until you see that Rachel is not sleeping – mom has Rachel’s bottle propped up under her chin!

I can’t imagine carrying that baby for the hours and miles Megan does as she guides the older ones through their daily activities.

Feeding Rachel alone is a full-time job!

Yep! Shopping at Home Depot with three kids is easy for a supermom!

Sleepy time is wonderful!

At least at this age, the kid sleeps a lot – occasionally Megan can sit back and hold a normal conversation.

Sometimes Annie can help out.

Sometimes Rachel will just sleep – anywhere.

When Rachel is asleep Pop Pop can say, “Those toes are soooo cute.”

But Rachel is awake a lot!

When Rachel is awake she has to be entertained.

When all three are awake, put on a video!

Let them open presents.

Here’s a win-win. Tires Jake out while entertaining Rachel – and Megan!

Another strategy is to let Barbara feed Rachel so Pop Pop can play with the others.

And when Rachel isn’t sleepy or hungry? There’s no video to watch nor presents to open. Give her to dad!

Rachel is the star – but G-Dad steals the show!

Rachel’s Baptism was a special event. As the priest performs the ritual, watch G-Dad, Megan and Annie!

For the photographer

Life is tough now. It was hard to get family pictures when there were four of them; now there are five and I sweat bullets to get anything decent.

The best one of 18 attempts.

The best one of 14 tries.

The only one anyplace close to acceptable out of 23 images.

I think I tried over 40 shots to get this one!

In Conclusion

In conclusion, being cute …

Is hard work for Rachel.

And for Megan!
