Little Update

I've been trying really really REALLY hard to update this blog and get all our pictures up, but it won't upload groups of pictures and it's very picky about the pictures it will upload and it's just driving me NUTS! Addie's pictures load up just fine, so I'll update through her pics :)

Little Brandon made his way into the world on April 24th at 12:05am. We went to the hospital to be induced April 22nd at 10pm and it took A LONG time to finally get him here.
He weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces and was 22 inches long. He's been such a good little guy. Our first experience of being parents was somewhat of a nightmare because Audrey was a rough baby. Brandon is cuddly, sleepy and easy going. He's such a joy and blessing, I love the little guy to pieces.

He has jaundice so we've had to get his blood work done 3 times, it's terrible. It's starting to go away thank heavens. He sleeps pretty well in his basinette, which is a huge blessing. I have such a hard time putting him down when he is sleeping because he's so darn cute I just like to cuddle with him, I know I'm spoiling him and not teaching him to sleep in there but I can't help it!


Our little Miss Audrey is still as sassy and stubborn as ever. I must say, as strong willed as she is and it is very hard and trying at times she is one of the smartest, cutests and funniest girls I know :) Of course I'm bias, but there isn't a day that goes by she doesn't make me laugh. She adores her little brother and I have to constantly watch her to make sure she isn't suffocating him. She is obsessed with The Little Mermaid, but she scratched our DVD so it won't work. Thank heavens for YouTube and the blessed soul who put it on there. Am I participating in illegal activity by watching it on there?... probably.

I've been trying to declutter and normalize our house and lives. I've been teaching music classes Tues Wed and Thurs, all 3 years and it was somewhat stressful. Being very tired and pregnant, having a 2 year old and preparing classes made it so a lot of things got pushed to the side. It's been wonderful being able to get things back to normal and not feeling so overwhelmed. Next week is the recital, which I can't wait for. I just hope everything goes okay.

Getting used to having 2 kids is an adjustment. Thanks heavens he is an easy baby and Audrey is handling things really well.

Pete is working at Everest College and is doing very well there. He is preparing to take the LSAT later this year. Recently we've decided to move out of our house so we can be closer to his work. We bought this house as an investment... but that of course isn't going to work out unless we want to live here for another 10 years. It's an hour commute so for a time he was leaving at 6am and getting back at 8pm. NOT worth it. We plan to move around July if everything goes as planned. It will be nice to be completly moved and settled in.

Things are going really well. Hopefully I can get this blog thing figured out... we'll see!
