Take a Guess

For all of you who missed seeing me pregnant this is the best I could do for a photo. With Christopher making his debut to the world early I didn't get a good preggo shot. This was me less than 24 hours before Emily was born.


Look at my (almost) modest babies. Can you guess which is which? We'll call the left side (or top photo) baby A and the right side (or bottom photo) baby B. See how you do all the way down. On one set of pictures there is a third photo and we'll call that one baby C.

The second set of newborn pictures.

This one should be easy.


Who's who?


Sleeping time is GREAT!


Last chance, which baby is Christopher, which baby is Emily?

Siblings

What do you think? Do they look alike?


Here is my first video attempt(s) on the blog. Emily was being really cute with CJ on the blanket. CJ weighs 11.5 lbs. He's put on more than 3 pounds in 5 weeks. Not bad.

Aren't Grandparents Great

Here are some pictures of the kids with their grandparents. Now everyone told me, "Going from one kid to two is quite the transition." I say not so, when you live with four other adults. We live with my parents and two of my brothers. Someone is always available to play with Emily or to burp CJ. Also Chris's parents live only
abut 25 minutes away and they come and see us as much as they can. It's great. If you can't live with grandparents I recommend at least living close to them. I love watching Emily
interact with her grandparents on both sides. She really knows each one of them and (I think) has a special relationship with all of them. I can't wait for CJ to get to know each of his grandparents. I really consider it a blessing to be so close to all of them.

New Pics

Here are some more photos.





Oh to have an older sister. I always said I wouldn't dress my boy in pink. Well he's not technically dressed in pink, more like draped in pink.

Emily loves Christopher. She loves to hold him. She also enjoys watching us give him a bath. She's quick to get his pacifier when he cries. And she cannot wait until he gets to sleep in his crib in her room.














Here's lookin' at you kid.

Easter

On Saturday our ward had an Egg hunt at the church. Here's a picture of Chris and Christopher and Emily. It was really fun, they had crafts and activities and food.




We had a nice Easter Sunday. It was my first time back to church. We stayed for the first two hours. Here's my attempt at a "family Easter photo". The camera was in the car and got all foggy when we took it inside. But aren't my boys hot stuff in their church outfits?







We decided to wait until after church for Easter baskets. Emily wasted no time in finding hers. Last year she discovered that if she shook the eggs she could figure out what was in each one. She prefers chocolate to jelly beans. So if she hears a "thunk" instead of a "rattle" she knows it's good stuff. We also hid a basket for CJ, too bad someone has to eat all his candy for him. We had a nice ham dinner cooked by my brother and then we went to my sister's house for the big Easter Egg Hunt. The kids all had a blast. It was a little chilly but we took CJ out to get in on the action. And of course Grandma had her money egg hunt. She puts money in the eggs and hides them. Mostly it's pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. This year there were also a few Chuck E Cheese tokens. She also hides paper money. There were two "golden" eggs this year each containing $20. I found one and was the big winner. Happy Easter.
