[ Moving.... again! ]

So I've been promising Lauren I would post new pictures of the girls and some videos of Jenny because she's changing so much! Things are pretty hectic around here as usual, but it's a good hectic if that's possible! We just found out a couple of days ago that we'll be moving to a new apartment next Saturday! We're so excited because it's a 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom 1150 sq feet apartment which is quite a bit bigger than what we've got now and we desperately need the space! Jenny will then be out of our bedroom! Hallelujah!!! We're so excited to have more space, but I'm not looking forward to moving though! This will make our 8th time moving since we've been married- crazy huh? Anyway, here's what we've been up to lately. I had captions to all the pictures, but blogger just deleted them, so here they are, I'm sure you can figure out what's going on! AHHH.... that's so frustrating! Anyway, gotta run... until next time! Enjoy!

[ focus on the positive... ]

Alright here are new pictures that I've been trying to post for a few days now and I'm finally able to get around to it. The past two weeks have been so incredibly challenging with both Angie and Jenny sick with colds and Jenny has an ear infection and is teething. Needless to say I haven't gotten very much sleep lately! However on the flip side, trying to focus on the positive... I didn't get sick and have received tons of help from my family while John has been at work. That has definitely kept me going. So here are a few pictures of the happy, relaxing moments that have happened in the midst of all the craziness!

Jenny at 3 months old... 14 pounds 8 ounces!


Angie trying on her Christmas dress from Grandma!


A few days ago I came in to Angie's room (where I had laid Jenny down for a minute to switch the laundry) and found this scene. Jenny had been crying and I started to come get her when I heard her stop crying and heard Angie talking to her. Angie had cheered her up by sharing her animals, what a great big sister!

Laughing with Daddy!

My happy girls, cozy in their pajamas!

Such a wonderful sight! Especially since she hasn't been sleeping very well lately! I savored the moment!


So today I've been thinking about all these happy moments because that's definitely what gets me through those crazy days when you don't get out of the house, don't take a shower and just end up having a movie day because everyone is feeling yucky! It's the little things in life! :)

[ 1 month old ]

Well, I'm finally getting around to updating with new pictures! Let's just say that trying to juggle two kids is a huge change and definitely takes some getting used to. So here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately. We've been hanging out at Nana and Poppa's house a lot lately, which has been a huge help to me to give me a bit of a break to get a nap or catch up on housework. Angie's been having so much fun watching the pumpkins grow and corn too! She was so excited about the pumpkins that were just her size. Also, we loved having Aunt Shirley and Uncle Neal come to visit, Angie and Jenny especially loved all the attention! We were so glad they could be here for Jenny's blessing. It was a great day because we had both of our families there, even though not everyone could make it, they were there in spirit! :) What a crazy, sleepless, exciting, and exhausting month this has been! But I wouldn't change it for the world! Here's Jenny's picture at 1 month old, which was this past Tuesday... it's so much fun seeing her smile and start responding to us! She's been smiling for a few weeks now, which is really early I've been told- it's so amazing to be able to see her little personality already starting to show! We love you Jenny!

[ Big Sister ]

So Angie is pretty excited about being a big sister and has been very sweet with Jenny! Here are a few pictures of her helping out! Anytime Jenny cries, Angie always runs and gets a blanket for her, apparently that's what Jenny needs to calm down in Angie's eyes- blankets make everything all better! I took this first picture today when Nana was helping her hold Jenny and Angie thought it was great that she could put her finger in Jenny's pacifier and that it she could feel her mouth move and that it kept her from crying.

We're starting to settle in a little bit, last night was so nice because Jenny only woke up once to eat! It was so great to catch up on some much needed sleep! We'll see if this becomes a trend!

Both our families have been a huge help right now as we figure out our new life with Jenny added to our family! She is such a sweetheart already and we are so thrilled to have another beautiful girl to make our family complete!
