It was a crazy day when we had these taken. In all fairness it is always a crazy day around our house - just for different reasons each day! The kids were playing tug of war over a book inches away from bumping baby Charlie during half of the family shots, Lindsey avoided Shannon like the plague, and Cody pouted for more "cars from the movie" to smile for the camera...it wasn't pretty. I'm not sure many of the pictures were that pretty either, but they do really capture this time in our lives. That is good enough for me!
Just about anyone I can imagine reading this blog should be getting one of these in the mail this week. It took me longer than I had planned and hoped, but here is Charlie's brth announcement. I'll post some other pictures from that day later on today or this week- K
Last Thursday was Lindsey's 2nd Birthday. We had a week full of cupcakes and then we followed that up with Easter candy! Lindsey didn't really know what the celebration was all about, but she did enjoy ripping into presents and like I said before, the cupcakes!
Steve & I took the crew to the Meijer Gardens yesterday to see the butterflies - It was sunny and warmer, so they were all out and busy flying around. The kids loved it!
So its a simple mixture - water with ginger and fennel, but the results are HUGE at our house! The night before trying Gripe Water, Charlie woke up every 1.5 - 2 hours screaming to be fed & uncomfortable...it was a very long night in a chain of many very long nights! For the next two nights he slept 5-7 hour stretches - a great improvement. Last night he ate & went to bed at 9pm and didn't wake up until 7am!!! SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!
So I married Steve, the meat man of my dreams about 9 years ago. We bought a house in Ada with our spoiled weiner dog, Chubs and then we started having kids -Cody is 7, Lindsey is 5.5 yrs old, & our little guy Charlie has already turned 3! This blog is the beginging to my post-baby making world!!!! I need a little Kristen in the happy chaos that is being a wife & mom!!!! Thanks for checking in!!!!
