I think that these pictures speak for themselves about how happy, healthy, perfect, chaotic, fulfilling, overwhelming, amusing, and busy our family has been since Fiona was born last week.

This One's for Papa
It was pointed out to me recently that I've been slacking on updating some of the exciting things going on around here. Constructive criticism is always appreciated :).
SO, here are some photos from the last couple of weeks

a BIG day
Two significant events have occured in the last 48 hours:
#1 Lincoln went an entire day in 'big boy undies' and kept them dry! Hip hip hooray! He's been waking up dry for the last couple of days, so I decided to let him try the undies (since we were going to be home most of the day); and it worked! Linc now willingly pees on the potty, but not so much for going poop. It's a step in the right direction though. . . .
#2 I have officially began preparing our home for the arrival of Baby Girl. I've been putting it off, hoping we would sell this house and unpack the baby stuff in our new home, but that possibility has all but disappeared. So, last night Grace and I unloaded some drawers that had basically been junk storage and made room for all the infant clothes that will soon be retrieved from storage. Very exciting! In about one more week we'll start the process of hauling out the swing, the bassinett, the baby carseat, etc. HOLY SMOKES!!

Getting Ready for Baby
Since the house is still on the market (until the contract expires in a few weeks), we haven't unpacked any of the baby stuff - hoping to keep the house as tidy as possible - so there hasn't been much in the way of baby-prep . . . until today.
This morning we attended Christ Hospital's "Super Sibling Class" - a fun chance for Grace and Linc to "learn" a few things about what it will be like to have a new baby and to see the hospital where Mommy will go when it's time for her to be born. The kids each brought a baby doll and got to change a diaper, learn to swaddle and give a bottle. Grace was very attentive and involved (and surprisingly knowledgeable thanks to her experience caring for favorite baby doll Rose and cousin Lucy). Lincoln was not quite as good at paying attention, but hey, he gave it his best shot. We all had a great time.
And now, it's time to get ready for all of Grace's 5th birthday celebrations!!
