More pictures, because I can never take enough.








Even with the craziness of having two children we were able to get some good pictures.










Look at that red hair!



In case anyone was wondering what life is like with two kids...these pictures sum it up.





This picture is my favorite. Addie splayed out and on a phone.  Xander upset, Jaron trying to comfort him, and I'm trying to give him the pacifier. This pretty accurate.

Even still, life is good. I do have to tell you a story though about mine and Xander's first Sunday back at church. We were running late, of course, and with my sleep deprived mind I took a wrong turn to church. Note that our church is only about 7 minutes away, very straightforward route, and we have driven there almost even Sunday for over a year. As we are rushing into church I see my reflection in the glass doors and I realize that I am wearing my bright blue flip flops instead of my nice flats I was planning on wearing (see above picture). Xander's only pacifier we brought was one of Addie's old ones, bright pink, and size 6 months. And when we got home I discovered that I had worn my garment top on backwards all morning.

So needless to say I am still getting used to having to kids and figuring out how to balance everything. Life is crazy, but life is good. We have two beautiful children and we love being a family of four.

We are so in love! He is a perfect little boy! He has dark blue eyes and red wavy hair. He smiles when you brush his cheek. He loves to cuddle. He loves his food. In the first three weeks of life he gained a pound a week. He quickly outgrew newborn size and most 0-3 months and is in 3 month clothing! Growing boy! He is going to eat us out of house and home before he is even a teenager.

Addie loves her little brother so much. I am impressed and proud of how well she handled this big change in her life. She is so gentle with him. She gets worried when he cries. She is a pro at bringing me diapers and wipes and giving him his pacifier. She loves to give him hugs and kisses and to beep his nose. She is such a good big sister.
