I've been a little busy, and this is the first I've been able to blog in a while. Let me give you a brief overview of the past couple of months. Here are a few pictures of Sean in the hospital.
My Mom & the boys. 
John's Mom Came to stay with us for a few weeks around the time he was born, so we were well taken care of. It was nice to have someone there to do everything, so that I didn't have to worry about it. 
John's brothers also came to visit shortly after he was born. We had a great time with them here.
We had a nice Christmas dinner one night (thanks to my Mother-in-Law and John) and John took them up to temple square to see the lights.

My Mom and Dad and Brothers Roger and Richard came to see us too. My dad:

Here is Roger, Tasha and Sean's cousin Alyssa who's 4 months old here.
Here's Sean at 1 week old.
John and the kids did all the decorating this Christmas. It was so nice! and it looked beautiful.
We had a very quiet Christmas here at home this year. We played out our own nativity scene with our very own real live baby "Jesus". 
It was fun to have a new baby at Christmas time this year, though tiring. He's a cutie.

Santa was really good to all of us this year. It was a fun day for everyone.
And before we knew it, Sean was 1 month old!
We had a great new years eve too. We played games and ate great food. Then at 10:00 we celebrated the new year with New York and sent the boys to bed. If we were smart we would have all gone to bed, but Erin really wanted to stay up til midnight. So we did.
Sean came home to a house full of eager siblings. They all love him and want to hug him and hold him, and feed him, and entertain him. 
They just can't get enough! Especially Colin! I think Sean has been so good for him. He now feels like he's one of the big kids. He's even finally decided to go in the potty and stop sucking his thumb! What a big boy. 
Erin is always wanting to help. She'll wash her hands just to hold him and she'll entertain him for half an hour sometimes! 
Devin is not quite as motivated, but if I give him the job of watching the baby while I do this or that, he is so happy, and has a great time. In fact, Devin is really good at getting Sean to smile.
This weekend Sean turned 2 months old. I can't believe it's gone so fast! When I go through this blog I can really see he's changed so much! The house may not be clean or the dishes done, but we're getting by. Sean and I are learning together to find out what makes his tummy happy, and we're having more and more good nights. Happy Baby makes Happy home.
He's here! Sean Brendin Doyle was born Monday, November 29th at 11:08 pm. He weighed 9 lbs., 15 oz., and was 20 1/2 inches long. Not a small baby by any means. It's a good thing he came early! Already we can tell he has such a sweet patient personality. The kids are so excited to have him here too. They love their little brother. These are some of the really cute pitcures taken while we were at the hospital. I'm wishing I could go back and retake my other kids' newborn mugshots! More photos to come soon!
The next night we carved the pumpkins. Each of the kids picked out a pattern and helped pull out seeds and mark the pattern and then John and I carved. 
Erin pretty much did the whole thing on her own this year! She had a little help here and there to speed her along, but she did most of the work. That was awesome! 
Then John and I each carved our own. What a great tradition. 
John dressed up for work too. He came up with his own costume.
That night was the ward Halloween party. It was a lot of fun. We had a soup/
We got ready quickly, cause it had been pouring rain, and was just letting up. I didn't know how long the lull would last, so I shoved them all out the door to trick-or-treat. Then we went to our neighbor's house for a hot dog roast that ended up indoors because of the rain. I thought for sure it would rain all evening, but after dinner it let up again, so the kids all went trick-or-treating together. By the time we got home, it was late, and they were all wet and tired. We took off the costumes and make-up before I even though of pictures. I did get pictures of the morning after though. I can't believe how much candy they got! I guess that's what I get for sending them out twice!
