Seattle

Insane!!

So before I post numerous adorable pictures of my wonderful family I thought I'd nominate myself as the most insane person on the planet. Also realize this is coming from the exhausted fingers of the mother of a 40 lb two year old and a newborn. To begin not only did I volunteer for a surgery where they cut you open, pull a baby out, and proceed to show your husband all of you inerds. But I also listened to talk during the whole procedure that likened me to a cow, because they are talking about how they do the same procedure to a cow. Then just shy of two weeks later I set of in a car with my hooligans and my husband for a fabulous 12 hour ride to Seattle, for my brothers wedding. This week in Seattle was definately more work than play with a newborn. I am just lucky that we have such great kids and that 2 week olds only eat, sleep and poop. Then we arrived home on Marley's three week birthday and left the next day for Carl's parents for the 24th, which is the big holiday in Fairview. Then we arrived home a couple of days later to clean the house and prep for Marley's blessing. We did it early because Carl's brother was in town and he is only in town about once a year. I feel like I have been busier than any normal person should be, and I don't consider myself normal any parents shouldn't. To say the least I would recommend only the rest and relaxation of a new mothers home during the first month or so. Needless to say I and my wonderful husband are definately certifiably INSANE. I am glad to finally be home and able to relax.

MARLEY

Well, we have our newest edition. Marley was born on Monday morning at 9:19 am she weighed 6 lbs 13 oz, and was 19 1/2 inches long. We had another c-section and everything went really smoothly. She is adorable and we are super excited. She has been so fun, she definately has a set of lungs but she is a great pretty mellow baby.
Garrick came and didn't want anything to do with me or the baby. We finally got him to kiss her, he kissed her two times the funny thing was second time he got her hair and he started spitting saying it was yucky. We have two great, cute kids. Yeah!!
