Mason, "How is your baby sister?"

"She is this long, has brown hair, sleeps a little, and cries a lot!" This is the answer you will get from our NOW 4 year old son!

There were two thing he wanted for his birthday...one of them is the "youth guitar" as he calls it, and the other was a bicycle. He hasn't quite mastered the guitar yet, contrary to the photo, he prefers to sit on the couch and play it flat on his lap. He says he can play "Jesus Loves Me" on the "really loud string," but you will have to come by for a visit and be your own judge!

Here is the big dog on his bike. He loves it. Received his first road rash on the first outing in the neighbors driveway. He is a bit more cautious now! His helmet has monster trucks on it...he is all about that as well. He has been a real trooper with all that has been going on in his little life the past month.

Now, on to that thing that is this long, has brown hair, sleeps a little, and cries a lot.
Anslee is not a happy camper. I only had four pictures on the camera of her since we have been home...this is the best of the four. Reason being...she screams every second she isn't asleep or eating. I think I have held her twice, with her awake, that she was not crying. We have tried different formulas, feeding closer together, further apart, just about everything we can think of. I don't mean to complain, but I told her tonight during one of her fits that, "Some baby's like their mama and daddy, smile occasionally, and don't cry during every dull moment." She rolled her eyes and cried some more! As you can tell from the pic above, she just likes to flash gang signs and take everything way too serious!

She loves a good soak in the tub, that is one of the only things that calm her down. After working all day and then hearing screaming from 6pm until 1am, I'm ready to hold my head under the bath water for a while! Amber is super patient and a super mom, I could never be as tender and compassionate as she after being here all day, every day. She is doing a super job with both kids, we just need the new one to cooperate a bit! Our God just has a funny sense of humor some times, we will look back a laugh at these days...maybe!!!!
