The door saga & Bethany's baby wearing

The door saga has almost ended. For those who don't know.. Joseph dropped a mug a while back and the handle flew off. It traveled approx. 6', hit the door, and started it to crack. It was very scary because I thought it'd explode. That panel broke completely and it would have been a lot to replace. We decided, since that door drove us crazy anyway, to buy a new door. The french doors cost the same as new glass! A dear friend volunteered her husband to help replace the doors. Jim worked with him and they did an AMAZING job. Her husband really knew his stuff and that made it a do-able project. Once we get the molding on I'll take a new picture. This picture is looking through the old doors at the new doors. (Lowe's did mess up and send us the wrong door - right opening instead of left - but we didn't have time for them to get us a new one).

Bethany wanted to get in on the babywearing game. She is wearing Naomi in a crinkle cotton/gauze wrap. They both enjoyed it!
Naomi is so lavished on with attention. I know the stereotype is the 6th child would be neglected. Let me just say.. if I had to pick between being the 1st or the 6th that I'd DEFINITELY go for being the 6th. The cute thing is that Bethany has always been a type of momma to Joseph. I guess she felt he needed protecting from James when he was little. She's a quiet girl, but if someone messed with him she was 100% Momma Bear! Now.. Joseph is the one very into Naomi. If I'm not holding her he will say "Where's Naomi???" and go on the hunt. lol. (She's usually in the swing, bouncy, or being held by someone else.. so it isn't hard to find her). When she is nursing he likes to rest his head on my arm and just stare at her.. or offer commentary like "Naomi says she's filling up her tummy with milk!" Bethany is the 2nd child, Joseph is the 4th, and Naomi is the 6th. Maybe its something to do with being an even number!
