Ethiopia

Katie and Scott are in Ethiopia. They are finally meeting their son.

Please, Father...

Lee and Lulu have the sweetest/strangest relationship. For the past few months when she has really wanted something, Lee has her end the request with, "Please, Father." It cracks us up and she knows it. I have even gotten a few, "please, mothers," in the past few weeks. Lee told me to document it, so of course, she got shy...

Dedication

A couple of weeks ago we had Teddy dedicated at church. For the occasion, Lulu wore that was mine when I was little.

Our little family on the stage with one of the pastors.

Afterwards we had some Coldstone and took a family picture.

The babies with their daddy.

Are we even?

So...I know I stink at blogging, but will these cute pictures make us even?

Here is a quick recap of our last month. The Boy is doing great. He weighs over 13 pounds and sleeps 8-9 hours swaddled in his crib at night. I am thankful. During the day Teddy prefers to sleep in the carseat or the swing. During the day he likes to have his face/head loosely covered. It looks like he is suffocating himself, but he loves it. He is smiling and "talking" a lot more lately.

The Girl does well about 90% of the time with being a big sister. She likes to "help" me do everything. Her new favorite thing is making sure they have the same Sesame Street character on their diapers.

Today she asked to hold him and I said yes. Usually she holds him for about 5 seconds and said, "Your turn, mama. He heavy." Today she held him long enough for me to run and get the camera and snap a few shots while never rarely taking her eyes off of Clifford. I will take what I can get.
