Sleepy boys

Josiah in his snow suit. Yes, it is still cold enough in Mid March to need this. We even had snow this last weekend believe it or not.

Isaac was so excited to have Josiah in his bed while we were doing our bedtime stories. He wanted Josiah to stay in bed with him the whole night. We told him that when Josiah was bigger he could stay with him. We have to tell him that about a lot of things because he wants Josiah to be a part of everything (which is super sweet), but Josiah doen't know how to play with toys yet, etc. So Isaac now tells us he is getting "bigger bigger every day mom". And instead of Isaac trying to get Josiah to play with him all the time Isaac now wants us to just tell Josiah everything he is doing and hold Josiah so that he can watch Isaac play.
So little and so big. Every morning both of the boys get in bed with me and we snuggle. Sometimes they fall back asleep like they did in this picture. I have to be in the middle and they both have to be close enough to touch me. I love these boys!


So sweet! Josiah asleep in his bassinet.




Bedtime stories. Craig always reads Isaac books before bed and now Josiah has joined this routine.

Boy toys

What boy doesn'y love a big cardboard box to play in?
Isaac LOVES Thomas the train as you can see!

Curly hair?

When Josiah's hair is wet it is curly. Maybe he will have curly/wavy hair like me?!?!? We will have to wait and see I guess.

Getting bigger!




Here are the latest pictures of our big boy. Yesterday he weighed in at 10 lbs 10 ounces at 3.5 weeks old. Wow, he is growing so fast! The cute chubby baby rolls are growing and we love it!

A Time of Adjusting

So, we have more great pictures to post, and I finally found the time to make a post and realized that I left our camera at a friends house. So the pictures will come later when we retrieve the camera. Instead I will take a little more time to tell you what has been going on with us for the last 3 weeks. The best word I can think of to describe this time in our life is adjusting, especially for me. Life with 2 kids is great but it is different. Like, how or should I say when do I take a shower? How do I take a nap because I have been up a lot last night when I have a 2 year old who is full of energy and moving 1oo miles an hour? How can I help the baby pass gas with less pain? How do I keep Isaac from kissing Josiah all over the face because he has a snotty nose and I don't want Josiah to get sick? I have all of these questions an a million more. So we are adjusting and learning. Every day presents new challenges and we are taking them one day at a time. Don't get me wrong. We love having two kids and wouldn't change it even if we could. We are just in a season of adjusting and learning. After writing all of this I hope it makes sense because I am sleep deprived and that leads to all kinds of crazy thoughts and lack of focus. So that is all for now. My five free minutes are over and it is time to get dinner ready.
