Life as a family of four

We've been a family of four for almost three (three!!!) months now, but the past week has been the first we've lived as a true family of four.  It's been wonderful!!  Of course it was hard and bittersweet to pack my car and drive away from Indiana and my parents and the comforts of my childhood home.  But it's been amazing to have Paul with us for breakfast, lunch and dinner the past 10 days, wakeups and bedtimes and all the time in between. 

It's nice to hear Amelia giggle while he tickles her or chases her around the house.  It's hysterical to hear him read her a classic bedtime story ("Love You Forever") where he changes the words to "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, I'll stalk you."  Oh my goodness I stopped and laughed out loud when I heard that from down the hall!!

Anyway, here I go yet again promising to update the blog more often, but this time, I really truly promise, y'all!  Hopefully things will slow down a bit when Paul goes back to work on Monday, and I can use nap time for things more productive than hanging pictures, dusting, folding laundry, etc.  You know, things like blogging...

Recent pictures (another to-do: become a better mom-tographer!):

Amelia, do you like William's new room?  I think this is a no...??

Believe it or not, this is the BEST picture we got of the two of them.

Amelia, hold still.  You won't?  OK, then, we'll hold you still!

Yep.  This is the outcome of 99.9% of pictures I get!
