We are back, Baby!

When I was pregnant, I tried to start this blog. I wanted to document what was happening with me, my body and the sweet little guy growing in me. Well, that lasted one post (typical me... :-) ). Hunter and I were talking the other day and we were amazed how quickly this past year has come and gone and we didn't want to forget the big or little things we have experienced with our bundle of joy, so here I am. Back again to try and redeem myself.

Where to start? I guess the first post should be about Noah's first hair cut. After everyone telling me he needed a hair cut, I took him to get a trim on Thursday. Noah was such a good little guy. He sat there and smiled and was in great spirits. His mommy was not so good. I blame it on Hunter (he knows not to let me do major things on my own...). Lets just say by the time she got done cutting his beautiful, shiny, full and thick hair, he was a mixture between Matt Thornock and Richard Ulsh (for those of you who know them) or as my dad called him, "A Bubba". All Hunter said when he saw Noah was "Oh...My...God...". Again, Hunter fault. :-)

Granted, his hair is not that bad, but he had beautiful hair before. Needless to say, we probably wont be going for another hair cut for about a year.

I don't have an after picture yet, but here are during picture.

And We Are Back... Hopefully

I have really been slacking when it comes to my blog lately.  You would never know by looking at this that we now have a complete family.  Brenna Kate was born June 1^st at 11:59 am (I can’t believe she is 4 ½ months old already!!!).  Our princess was 6lb 9oz and 18 inches long.  She has been an amazing baby.  She is so happy and smart and loving.  She loves to sleep and smile and swing.  Brenna has been turning over both ways for a few weeks now and has recently found her feet.  Her toes are her favorite toys to play with and suck on. She just recently started solid foods! Every day, as with all babies, is a new adventure.  She is learning things so quick and changing from day to day.  I LOVE THIS STAGE (but I loved and still love all the stages Noah went through).  Adjusting to two kids has been both easy and a challenge.  Noah is amazing with her and is so proud to be her big brother.  It took a few weeks to adjust to the new way of life but he has done a great job figuring out his role with her.  The first two weeks of Brenna’s’ life was spent at my parents’ house.  Poor Noah was super sick and instead of having her around his germs B and I went to my parents’ house while Hunter and Noah bunkered down at ours.  You can imagine how I handled it with all my post-partum hormones.  I probably cried for the first 5 days of it.  Then I realized I had a newborn that loved to sleep and a sick preschooler who didn’t.  Poor Hunter.  :-)  After the 2 weeks, it was so great to finally have our family together…for 6 hours.  Hunter got sick the day we got came home and he moved to my parents for a week.  It was a rough first month, but we all survived with just a few battle wounds.  Since then we have really found our grove.  I have been taking pictures and some day when I learn to edit them I will get them up here.  That is actually my goal by the end of the year.  There has been so much going on that I want to document.  Soccer, birthday parties, school, tons of Brenna’s firsts… the list goes on and on.
