And We're Back!

Things have been quiet on our little blog for quite some time now. I've actually written a lot of blog posts lately, they just happen to be written in my head while showering, nursing, cooking etc. You should read them, they're witty and insightful. Unfortunately none have actually made it from my head to the computer.

Life around here has been a wonderful, wild ride lately. Our beautiful baby girl was born on January 24th and she has blessed, stretched and grown us in so many ways. Annalise Kay has to have been the world's easiest new born. Sleeping, eating and sitting happily in her bouncy seat have been her favorite past times since day one. She added sleeping through the night and generously lavishing us with heart melting gummy grins around 2 months old. I mean, wow! Does it get any better?

2 months old...now that's something to smile about!

But please don't think that life around here is all puppies and rainbows. Going from one little girl to two has been a real challenge. I've had to resign to the fact that my whole house will never be clean all at the same time and that Nick will survive if he has to match his own socks from the clean clothes that have been sitting in the dryer for the last three days. I shower by noon on a good day and getting to blow dry my hair is a miracle. And the "sleep when the baby sleeps" naps are much more rare with two...so enjoy them all you one baby mamas!

Charlie Marie continues to grow and change. She talks up a storm and loves to read books, collect rocks and play with her baby dolls. She is busy, busy, busy and would happily run on nothing but granola and ketchup if we let her.

Keeping life fun!

Life for Nick and I is so wonderful and so different than April 4th of 2008 when we were married. It's been four years to the day (Happy Anniversary Handsome!) and life is good!
