Marko Kids

Jesse turned 32 this wk & I got the kids together to take some pictures for a little something we gave him for his birthday.  I took a similar pic of the 4 kids before Jeremy was with us last year and it's fun to see the changes the kids have made since then. 

There is something to be said about having a baby in the home.  They bring with them a spirit that everyone in our home can feel.  It is so sweet.  The kids are beyond happy that Jeremy's a part of the gang.  Each morning as they wake, one by one, they stop by his bed and greet him good morning and touch him and kiss him and it's all I can do to ward them off because he is still sleeping.  All are excited to help and most times they don't understand why they can't carry him/feed him/take him out to play and Ke'ala just can't wait for him to grow up so she can do all those things with him.  Salesi is in LOVE with him, it's so cute.  When Jeremy cries, Salesi says, "Hold on, Jeremy. Hold on..", as I rush to change his diaper or pick him up.  Sesi thinks Jeremy is hungry all the time.  "Mom I think you should give him some food cause I never saw him eat anything, he's only drinking milk all the time!"  That's a conversation I get to repeat a few times a week. 

Jeremy made 7 wks this week.  I wish he would stay small just a little longer.  He's pretty fair but when he makes the slightest movement he turns red.  Must be the Indian blood.  ;)

Oh Ke'ala, she's growing up so quickly.  Some days I wish she were still a little baby so I can hold her again.  Most times it's so I don't have to hear her repeat the same questions over and over again all day long. :D I love our crazy kids!
