Our Love


Brennan is a month old! Where has the time gone?

Like all newborns in the past 4 weeks Brennan has grown and changed so much. At one week she had already gained back up to the birth weight, at two weeks I thought something was wrong with her because she would sleep for six or seven hours at a time, at three weeks she began to open her eyes more and more, and at magical week four she has hit a growth spurt and enjoys eating every 2 ½ hours (no more sleeping for mom and dad). I imagine she weighs more than 7lbs. which is what she weighed about a week ago. She is such a sweet bundle and she has brought so much joy to our already happy family.

Even more amazing than the changes taking place with Brennan are the changes with Blythe and Bree. They have each grown from toddlers to little girls who are helpful and considerate. Don’t get me wrong Brennan’s arrival did not pass without meltdowns from each of them, but over all they have done very well. They start to 3 year old pre-school on August 10th and I must confess that I am sad they will be gone for 3 days each week.

As for mom and dad life with 3 little women is not much different from 2. Our home is still overflowing with tutus, princess dresses, necklaces, dress-up shoes, baby dolls, and estrogen. There is also lots of laughing and giggling that always seems to be finished by shrill high pitched screams.

Bree is our joy and Blythe is full of passion
Brennan is our love

Those pictures are so pretty! I love the update on Brennan too. I hope she starts stretching those feedings so you get more sleep! Snuggle with her as much as you can though. It goes too fast!

About Me

My photo
Me- well: I love God! I love people! I love my family! I love my husband! I love being a mom! I love having twins! I love my friends! I love children! I love teaching! I love my church! I love red wine! I love watching my children play! I love summer! I love the beach! I love bonfires! I love the lake! I love to laugh! I have the most wonderful husband- he takes care of me and helps me out when I over commit myself. I love being a mom- twins are great! I hate when people say, "I don't know how you do it!"- I just do what needs to be done. At the end of the day our house may not be clean and the clothes may not get folded and put away, but everyone is safe, fed, and loved. My friends- oh you mean the people I used to hang out with, but never see anymore! Yeah, I love them too. I have learned that God brings all kinds of people into our lives. Some of those people are great friends while you are in school, some are great friends while you are in college, and some are great friends at work or church. Then there are the few- the special friends that stick around for a lifetime. I am so blessed to have so many lifetimers!!!
