Two Kids = Too Little Time

Things we've learned the last month:

1) Having two kids is more than double the work

2) No matter how much attention you give either of the kids, they always want more

3) Sleep is nothing but a long lost friend that we miss very much

4) Getting out of the house is an event

5) Babies love to be held and are super snuggly

6) Toddlers (especially ours) have a hard time being gentle

7) The house will never be clean

8) Car rides are like magic for getting babies to sleep

9) Nap time (the hour that both kids are sleeping) is amazing

10) Take out is our new preferred cooking technique

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We are thankful for all of our blessings and hope that 2012 is great for everyone.
Things have been completely crazy with a two year old and newborn but we have hope that things will be wonderful soon.  I have really lost track of days and time but we are trying to get out and embrace two kids.  We are getting some sleep at night and Anderson is adjusting but we really forgot how much work it is to take care of a newborn.  She is the sweetest and we love her to pieces; but our lives feel crazy at the moment.  I've asked many friends with two kids if it gets easier and people say it does.  James and I do wonder how people have 3, 4, or even 5 kids.

Here's some pics of our two kiddos:

Our Sweet Charlotte

Wow, our lives have been crazy.  Charlotte Christina was born on Monday, December 12, at 7:55 am.  She is just the sweetest and we feel so blessed.  James and I are thankful to have grandma here helping out with the house and kiddos because I'm not sure how we could have done it by ourselves.  I ended up having a c-section and the recovery is a little better than last time but it's still hard not being able to do everything.  Anderson is slowly adjusting but really doesn't understand but I'm sure it won't be long before he wants to help out.

Holiday Fun

Anderson really liked the blow up Santa!

Just sitting here...

Umm.. you look a little strange..

The beard, oh my goodness, the beard...

Very Traumatic!

I'm out of here!

Enjoying the time at the museum after the trauma.

Fun with bubbles.

Enjoying the zoo lights to ourselves.

Silly Hubby

Anderson and his teachers.

We are enjoying the holiday season and have been trying to squeeze as much fun into our weekends as we can before baby #2 comes.  Last weekend we enjoyed snack with Santa at the Children's Museum and James's work holiday party at the zoo. Tonight we enjoyed Family Holiday night at Anderson's school.  This is our last weekend before baby and I'm really hoping that our baby girl chooses to make her appearance into the world or else I'm scheduled for a c-section on Monday.  I would rather not go through that again so please keep your fingers crossed!

I'm sure you can find Anderson in the back.  He is such a little dancer!
