Party of 4

Life lately has been wonderful.  And I'm not being sarcastic either.  I thought by almost 2 weeks into this 2 kids thing, I would have already had several crying fits, have lashed out at my husband, and possibly reconsidered the idea of having a 3rd, however, so far, knock on wood, it's been the opposite.  Kellen has been such a joy.  He fits so perfectly into our family, like he was always there.  Feedings are going as well as I could have hoped.  He's a decent sleeper, although last night he decided to stay awake until 4am :).  But all together it's been a great experience.  Don't get me wrong, I know this isn't the case for many moms when they bring a new baby home, so please know that I'm aware I'm very fortunate.
We went to pick out a Christmas tree when Kellen was only 5 days old.  Farrah is very into decorating so I knew it would be a big hit with her and she loved it!  She put all the ornaments in one spot and put all the purple ones together so I had to do a little rearranging after she went to sleep so the tree didn't look lopsided. I don't know if it's the holidays or what, but I'm feeling extra chipper these past few weeks.  I'll blame it on the hormones.  It's just so incredible to see my kids happy and healthy.  Blessed beyond measure!

Kellen's first bath.  He looks so much like daddy :)

This is her standard picture face now.  I can't take a picture without this face turning up.  In fact most of the time we ask her not to smile in pictures for this very reason.
