Isaiah turned two!

I don't know where the time is going, but my little man turned two on saturday. he LOVES himself some trains so we took him to the train musuem for a train ride. Not sure if he was overwhelmed by the size of the train or didn't realize that what he was on was in fact a train, but he wasn't quite as excited as we thought he would be when the train started moving. He liked looking out of the train though. Hannah loved it, Catherine slept through it and Isaiah sort of tolerated it. He did however like his cake. And despite the torrential rain right after the train ride (see post rain pic in car), it was a great day celebrating our little boy. So proud of the little man he is becoming.

One month - yesterday, because I forgot to post.

4 weeks

Catherine is going to be 4 weeks old tomorrow. Impossible. Finally was able to get some awake without crying photos....that must be a good sign!

catherine update

I'm not going to lie. Its a little tough getting pictures of catherine while she's awake because when she's awake she's normally crying. so here are some cute ones, for you non facebook users, of her asleep and a moment of sanity..... :)

Sweet Catherine

Our sweet Catherine is 3 days old today. She was born on July 10th at 7:27AM and was a whopping 8lbs 14 ounces. Almost as big as Isaiah who was over 2 weeks late! She is so precious and we are just enjoying getting to know her.

Make the banging stop!

We want our house back. I know that many people have it much worse, but between getting a leaky shower pan fixed with replacing tile in our shower, getting a new roof, siding, replacing windows - all of which is taking a LOT longer than anticipated, I'm tired of the banging and of the house taken over. these pictures are from the first blissful morning where we had no idea what we were in store for and the kids were just excited to see the big truck. Innocence at its best.

Pregnancy, summer and songs

I'm trying to remember what a change it was after I had Hannah to go from having just one child to having two. Trying to remember that when I just had one, I didn't realize how much easier it was to go food shopping and errands and bedtimes but I also didn't know how much we would be blessed by Isaiah's presence. At the end of my pregnancy with Isaiah I tried to appreciate the last days of just having one while eagerly anticipating meeting my son. I'm at that same point now. I know I can't appreciate how things will change, but I'm trying to take each day with only two kids and count the blessings in that while I eagerly await to meet Catherine, who is her own person completely and will be such a blessing to not only John and I, but to Hannah and Isaiah. Below are two videos if they'll come up of hannah singing a silly song and them telling me all the things she's going to do for Catherine.

oh yeah...and its summer and I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant and I'm hot.....
