Morgan.....

For any of you who know my oldest daughter she can be a handful. Well ever since Isaac has been born she has been singing to him. This is really very sweet that she wants to sing to her brother, the problem it's always the same song. This last time I got out the camera and she sang more to the camera than Isaac, but it's still cute.

A Wonderful Week

Today marks the end to my first week alone, well not alone, I'm never alone.  It has been great!  I love having all three of the kids, and watching each one of them grow.  I know that all weeks aren't going to go wonderful, and that we will have times that will be challenging.  Thankfully this week wasn't one of them.  My mom came over and helped me out 2 twice this week, it was really nice to be able to go to the store with out any of my children.  It was also great that she was able to come with us when we had to go out and run a few errands. We had meals brought to us from friends in our care group which was also a huge help.  Although today I managed to take Isaac in for his 2 week appointment with both of the girls.  It wasn't so bad, you just have to be okay with knowing that you are not 100% in control. 

  

Isaac is doing really well, and continues to be a fairly easy going baby.  He loves to be held, but is also content to sit in his swing, or stay in his car seat for a bit after we arrive home.

  

Olivia is still adjusting to not being the baby, but she is still happy and goes with the flow, she just like to be held and cuddled a little more than she used to.  This is okay with me, she was never a very cuddly baby so to be able to hold her and rock her now is great.

Morgan, is such a big helper!  I don't know what I would do with our her help.  She is very good at getting things for me when my hands are full.  Making

sure that Olivia is not getting into trouble when I'm busy with Isaac, and she love to hold Isaac when ever I "need" her to.

I know that some people might think that we are crazy with all the chaos at our house, but Luke and I are both settling into a a routine, and loving every minute, of noise, laughter, crying, and giggling.  It's great and we are both feeling very blessed to have each one of our kiddos.  

Family Of Five

As we adjust to out family of five, I keep thinking about Luke going back to work. This week has been pretty good so far, but I have had Luke's help. When he goes back to work it will be me AGAINST the 3 of them. I don't know about all of you, but to me 3 against one, sounds like an unfair fight. I think that the key to making it all work is protecting my time in the morning! Making sure that I get myself ready for the day before the girls get up. So fare Isaac has been content to be set down, I'm praying that this continues for the next few weeks. I feel so blessed to have my family all 3 kids and Luke. I'm thankful that God has given me 3 wonderful children and a husband who loves and supports me! I know that we are going to continue to experience change at our house over the next several months as we adjust to the addition of Isaac. I'm ready for the change the excitement, the hard days, and the rewarding days. I'll keep you all posted on how things go.

Issac Aaron Jenison

I will add more detail later, but for today a quick post will have to do. Isaac Aaron Jenison is here, he was born February 15th at 6:02 pm. He weighed 8lbs 4oz and measured in at 21inches long. I'm so glad that my doctor didn't let me go almost 10 more days until my due date! We are all doing well, and I'm so happy to be home.

4 Years Old

Tomorrow at 7:42pm Morgan is 4 years old. Tonight we had her family party it was so much fun. I don't know if it's the fact that I'm very pregnant or the fact, that every year she gets a little older, I seem to think about how fast time has gone. This year she wanted a princess party, so I indulged her I think that I tried to do everything to Morgans exact wishes. For the fist time she had both sets of grandparents at a birthday(yes Luke's parents are in town). It has been great to have them here, I'm also looking forward to having them here for Isaac's arrival. I have posted a few pictures from tonight, I don't know who enjoyed the cake more Morgan(who didn't have any until everyone left) or Olivia(who had to get in the tub right after).

Happy Birthday Luke

I just wanted to take a quick minute to let everyone know Tomorrow is Luke's 30th Birthday. I love my dear sweet husband very much. He truly is everything that a girl could ask for and more. So Luke this post is for you, Happy Birthday!

A Little Indulgence

Today my husband gave me the wonderful gift of a little time off. Because I am so pregnant and was not able to attend Womens retreat, Luke thought that I should take some time before that baby and have a break. I tried something new that I have never done before, and let me tell of all you laddies out there, barefoot sage is well worth the indulgence. I left feeling relaxed my feet were no longer swollen, and I could have sat in one of their couches all afternoon long. So next time one of you is in need of a mommy break I highly recommend giving barefoot sage a try. It would be a great thing to do with a few girl friends as well.

Count Down

It seems like this pregnancy has passed so quickly.  That might be because I have been in denial that I will have 3 children in 4 years.  So today marks a big day It's february 1st, I have a scheduled induction date of february 15th, but who knows we could be meeting this little boy before that.  At best I figure that I have 14 days left of being pregnant.  We will keep you all posted on the arrival of new baby Jenison.

Laura, I stole the test off your page apparently I'm stuck in the same time zone that you are!

You Belong in 1956
