Connor is 6 weeks!

Can we keep him?

Sunday, I was getting ready for church with Connor propped up on my bed. Owen walks in, crawls up on bed, puts his arm around Connor and snuggles into him. He looks up at me and says,

"Mom, can we keep him?"

I come over and say, "Guess what? We can keep him forever and ever..."

"Good. Because I love him."

Way too precious.

Owen's adjustment

Owen has finally been acting more settled and adjusted. It took a few weeks to get in a rhythm and all, but we are getting there! Here are some funny pictures from last week. The first is what I found when we came downstairs before church...guess who found the Hershey Kisses??? The second is of Owen acting like baby Connor in his car seat. Love his mischievous look!

A growing boy

Here are a few recent pictures of Connor. (Connor getting big at one month old; First smile on camera; Zen baby) I am continuing to adjust to life with two children...it takes a bit more organization and a bit more patience. I took them out by myself this past Monday and the "getting out the door" process took 1.5 hours. However, we shaved it down to 20 minutes today! Progress is happening! I feel so blessed to have two healthy children and although tired, I feel really happy. Being a mother truly is a gift. Thank you, God, for my little boys!

New Year's Eve

We spent New Year's Eve at Jon and Mandy's house. As you can see, Owen had a ball. He was loving playing with Braylon and Noah! It was also Owen's first sleepover at a friend's house (with Mommy and Daddy). I love these pictures...especially the ones with Owen and Noah on the chair and on Owen's "bed." Too cute. I'm thankful that Owen has such great friends to play with and enjoy. They are such goofballs together--oh the fun to have!
