Granny Comes to Visit!

I've been telling my mom for weeks that my little ones miss her. They love hearing her voice most workday mornings when we talk.


Finally, after two months of tortuous separation, my mom made it up to visit the kiddos. When I told Austin Granny was coming to visit, he went looking for her in the guest room. Too cute!


 Kaitlyn dazzled her with her smiles and coos and Austin tied her a little tighter around his finger with his charm and endless toddler energy. 



And before the weekend ended they had completely tuckered her out...

 
We can't wait to see her again, and everyone else, in two weeks for Kaitlyn's baptism!

One Foot After the Other

So, now that a year has passed since my last blog, and I already have another baby, I am giving this blog another try. Our family and friends just live too far away to not do something to keep them in the loop. So long as they (and more importantly I) can accept that my blog will never be as inspirational as Lauren's is, well then, here goes nothing. I will try to do a few pictures per week. There really isn't time (or energy for that matter), for more... and truth be told, that was really all my dad ever wanted to see after all. I think I was the one that had high hopes it would be something more.

Having two children only 14 months apart has brought total chaos to my life, and a level of sleep deprivation I couldn't even imagine existed, but when they interact with each other, at such a young age... it is awesome, as in, I am completely awe-struck by how sweet it is already. No, I wouldn't choose to do it this way again, but now that I'm here, I wouldn't trade it for anything. So, here are a few of my favorites from the first 3 months of their lives together.


 First snuggle...
