Summer 2009











Well I don't know that anyone even follows my blog since it doesn't seem that I ever update it, but life has been pretty hectic lately.  Since Cade was born (May 11th, 2009) I haven't seemed to have the time to check my email let alone update my blog.  Delivery went smoothly and Cade is fairly healthy.  He weighed 7 lbs and was 20.5 inches long.  He had a full head of hair but some has less of it now.  He is the sweetest little guy and the perfect addition to our family.  We have dealt with some colic and acid reflux but we have finally got that under control.  He already weighs 12 lbs so we know he is getting plenty to eat.  
Emily is the best big sister ever!  She helps feed him, change him, and gives him his pacifier when he is crying.  She is always calling him "baby brother" instead of his name and wants him around her ALL the time!  Everytime I take a picture of him she wants to get right in there and have me take one of both of them together.  
This summer has gone by really quickly!  We have spent the majority of it at the lake.  My grandparents have been staying down there and they have been a big help with Emily and Cade!  I didn't realize that having two kids would be so much more work than having one.  It's really tough and my heart goes out to all those mothers who take care of two or more kids all day long!  Anyway, I just wanted to update this and let everyone know how we are doing.  Enjoy the pics!!
