My Family of Four

I'm now a mom of two!  I have my precious boy and my sweet girl, and life is good.  Being a mom of two is a lot like being a mom of one, except you are way more tired and have way less patience.  I'm working on the patience thing though.  I'm sure that will get better once I'm sleeping through the night again. It's amazing how you forget what getting up every 3 hours is like.  I honestly don't know how you do it for months, you just do.

I'm also amazed at how wonderful my husband is.  Everyday he surprises me more and more and I just fall more in love with him.  I'm truly lucky to have such a wonderful man by my side to be my friend and partner.  Watching him be a dad and seeing the love he has for our children brings me such happiness.  How did I ever get so lucky?  

And I'm not the only one full of mushy gushy love stuff.  Carter is absolutely in love with his sister.  He holds her, hugs her, kisses her and just can't get enough of her.  He actually chose to get a toy for her over one for himself at the toy store.  That's pretty selfless for a 3 year old and he made me very proud with that decision!  

He loved her before she even got here.
He was so proud to hold her!

3 days old and already has a bow
