What's Happening...

The house is unusually quiet, so I thought I'd update the blog. It's been a busy month and there is a lot of ground to cover. The first month of a new baby is always a blur. I always feel deliriously happy and a bit overwhelmed (OK, so maybe COMPLETELY overwhelmed). It seems there is never enough time in the day or energy in my body to do all the things I need and want to do.


Grandma and Grandpa came out for a few days and gave the kids some much needed extra attention. It only took a few cookies, but Scarlett warmed right up to Grandpa.

Grandma was SO awesome with baby T. It was nice to have an extra set of hands to hold him. He loved it!

And so did I! Thanks for giving this tired Momma some assistance! Jer and I were even able to get some time out of the house together- alone.
Here (below) is what my mornings usually look like, with a new baby and a husband teaching seminary. You gotta hand it to my kids for at least trying to get themselves some breakfast.

Speaking of the kids, they are as cute and entertaining as ever. Here are the girls cheering on Channing in his basketball game. Channing's Shooting Stars experience is worthy of its own post entirely. Stay tuned..

And, someone got a haircut! I've been wanting to cut her hair for a while and finally muscled up the courage to do it. She loves it!! It fits her spunky personality perfectly. She was all too eager to model it for the camera. And, if I do say so myself, I did a half decent job for someone that never went to hair school.

1 month down, a lifetime to go. Talmage is a very mellow baby, lucky for us, and seems to roll with the pokes and slobbery kisses that are constantly hurled at him. He has brought a special spirit into our home and we are honored to have him.
