Derek finally got to meet his brothers. The Christensen five are together at last. Derek is not quite sure what to think. He is trying to be helpful. He brings us diapers, burp cloths, and pacifiers. When I am feeding one of the boys, Derek will come and rub my back and snuggle with me- or "comb" my hair with a spatula. He wanted to help Mike hold the bottle. Derek has lots of kisses for the boys. He also is not sure he likes the change in routine and not having our undivided attention. There are adjustments for all of us! Will and Nate decided to stay up most of the night to get to know their new surroundings. Thankfully they slept during part of Derek's nap so Mike and I could nap a bit. It is a HUGE blessing having Mike home- for 5 weeks. Mike just got his sabbatical in December. Sabbaticals have been good to us- we met on the last sabbatical that Mike had- taken 1 year late. Mike is a wonderful daddy and Derek is so glad to have his bestest buddy home. The five of us are all adjusting but so thankful to be together.
