Life with Two

The question that I get asked alot these days is...."Do you notice a big difference with two?" And my answer is always a big fat YES!

We are adjusting -lots of laughs and quite a few tears too. Poor Caleb doesn't quite like having to share all of the attention and poor Fiona would just like some more attention!

Enjoy these few snapshots of the last few weeks -I'll try to not be so long in posting for the next time.

Caleb got into my makeup and thought it was so funny -then mommy wanted to take a picture...not funny anymore...

Here She Is!!!!

Miss Fiona Laurianna arrived VERY quickly on Tuesday morning.
We were supposed to go in for an induction that morning at 7:15am, but she decided not to wait and woke Mommy up at 2 am and was here at 7am!

We got home yesterday and have had a great first night being all together as a family.
God is GOOD!

Happy Family of Four

A trip, A birthday and A pregnant mommy

Back in June we decided to take a long weekend and go to Quebec City.
We had a great time and although we missed going on our annual 3 week long adventure, a shorter trip seemed perfect this time around!

Caleb's favorite part -the waterslide and pool with Daddy.

And of course, going to the park.

Caleb's second birthday party -June 19th.
He had a great time with his buddies and all of his family.
Boz the Bear was the theme.

My parents came again to save the day
-yes that is one HUGE pregnant lady standing with her dad!
(only 31 weeks there -I know you're trying to imagine me NOW! :0)

This is still 31 weeks -it was taken the next day.

We're 38 weeks along now and are getting all of those last minute jobs done.

We are getting excited to meet this little one! We'll keep you posted!

A great way to cool down

It's been in the 30's here this week -VERY HOT for this pregnant lady -33 weeks by the way.

If you do -you will love this!

Time Flies

Can it really be five years today???????????

More crazy is that it will be two years tomorrow!

I am so blessed!

This poor old blog...it seems that downloading pictures from our camera is a thing of the past.

Matt plugged it in last night to find that we hadn't gotten any new pictures off of the camera since FEBRUARY!!!!!!!

Between getting ready for the new baby's arrival -August 25th- and babysitting four days a week and trying to keep up with Caleb and housework and church and the new scrapbooking business...yikes! So many excuses!

I apologize and will try to do better!!!
