Cookies With Daddy

A little over two weeks ago Brian and I picked up a cookie kit with animal cracker mix, cookie cutters, frosting and edible paint. Yes, I realize we are able to make and decorate cookies without a mix but when its all compiled in the same box its hard for Brian to pass up although, after seeing the mess it made he asked me to remind him of this next time he mentions buying such a thing.



One evening after dinner Brian sat down with Camden to mix, cut and bake the cookies. After breakfast the next morning the cookies were frosted, decorated and eaten. Camden loved every minute of it (as if you can't tell) and I'm pretty sure his Daddy did too.

Picture Perfect

Just a quick post to share one of my favorite snapshots of Deegan.

The Great Outdoors

After being cooped up in the house for a few days we all loaded up and headed to the park. It was Deegan's first visit to the great outdoors, not counting our backyard, and he slept the entire outing. Camden, on the other hand, had a blast sliding, running, climbing, swinging and playing on all the different equipment.

Big Brother

Camden has adjusted amazingly well to being a big brother. We knew that he was excited and would welcome a new baby but we weren't sure that he would be as excited once he figured out that Deegan would be a permanent member of the household rather than a visitor.





Our concerns quickly dissolved once Camden met Deegan. He has been extremely loving, patient, kind, considerate and sweet to his little brother. He's proud to tell others about him and likes
reminding us that he's big and Deegan is little.



I hope that Camden stays as sweet, compassionate and patient with his brother and that they will become best little buddies as
they grow up together. I think they're already two peas
in a pod-one big pea and one little pea.

Introducing....

Deegan
September 29, 2010
8 lbs 2 oz-21 inches

We have already taken oodles of pictures and I will try to get them and other details up as I can but having a new little one in the house who is always hungry in addition to a rambunctious two year old doesn't make for a lot of extra time to blog.

Just a few pictures from his birthday:

We're now a quad!

Battle Ground-Bedtime

It is amazing that this little angelic face will turn to tears (and I mean wailing and sobbing) after his sneaky attempts at
avoiding nap time and bedtime fail.



Camden was never a "good" sleeper when he was an infant but after crossing those bedtime hurdles about sleeping through the night we thought that we were in the clear until he developed a recent protest to bedtime. I know that its just a phase but with the soon approaching arrival of a new baby (T-1 Day...if he cooperates) a bedtime battle was the last thing I really wanted added to my list of worries.

I know this, like all things, will pass but had to share our
little struggle and his adorable pre-bedtime picture.
Mainly the picture...isn't he precious?
