Happy 3rd Birthday, Jack!

Three years ago today, our beautiful baby boy was born at 1:38am.  I was so excited to have a little boy and was so glad we got to use the name Jack.  That was the day all my selfishness was about to be tested and all the love my heart had to give was stretched.  I never knew how hard and easy it was to love someone so completely.  I wanted to do everything perfectly so he would have the perfect life but soon realized that was impossible and so started the motherhood guilt.  Since then was have both grown so much.  He is an avid talker, thinker, creator and player.  I couldn't be more proud of him.  We have our challenges but he is just a good boy.  Year two to three brought conversations, potty training, dressing and disciplining.  I can only imagine the adventures we will have from three to four.  Hannah, Bekah and Julia enjoyed celebrating his birthday too!  I love you Jack.

1 month old!

I just going to write quickly this morning.  I cannot believe that one month has already passed since Julia was born.  She really is a good baby.  She is more awake most days now and she loves to lay on the floor, look around and listen to Jack.  She also does quite well with tummy time and lifting her head.  I hope to get more summer pictures soon but photography has really taken a back seat to everything else.  Bekah didn't make it in any of these photos because she wasn't fond of the camera that past couple of days; she's feeling a little under the weather.  We are hopefully heading to Fargo for a quick get away.  My mom is taking care of the oldest three kids for two nights; bless her!  More later.
