With regards to discipline, be consistent, and make sure you and your wife support each other. Children have the ability to play one parent against the other. Also I think the children tend to be much more well adjusted when they know and understand the family rules, and learn to obey them.
Be aware if there are any family flaws that are passed down from one generation to the other e.g. addictions like gambling and alcohol, various forms of abusive behaviour etc., and take steps to break the pattern.
Do things with the kids, like going to restaurants, concerts, hockey games etc. It's important that they learn to behave in public.
Get some respite or "you time" before you start to feel overwhelmed.
I agree the "routine" element is of paramount importance.
