Two Weeks & Twenty Months

Life with two kids ... one that's two weeks old and one that's twenty months old ... is never dull! Luckily, we've had a lot of family come to visit and help. Roman loves all the attention from the ever changing (and seemingly never-tiring) guests. Everyone has to play basketball, go on the slide and take him on a wagon ride around the neighborhood. Thank goodness for warm weather!
Hat, check. Sippy cup, check. Roman's ready for his wagon ride
Of course we stop to smell the roses (or daffodils)

Ruth has been an angel these first two weeks. She's got the baby thing down ... eat, sleep, poop and repeat! Her features are really starting to show now and she's getting prettier and prettier by the day. Here are a few photos.

Carl and Roman have been best buddies over the past two weeks. They've spent so much time outside playing that I think Carl's basketball game has improved. Luckily we have a park really close to our house, so the wagon is often headed there for some major playtime. Roman loves ... I repeat, LOVES ... the slide at the park. Not the toddler slide, but the big kid slides and he wants to do it by himself. He confidently climbs up to the top of the play structure and then proclaims, "I do" and then tries to go down the slide as fast as he can.

I'll leave you with a few sleeping Ruth pictures, because there is nothing more precious and peaceful than sleeping baby.
Hands up!!

Smiling and happy after a big meal

I love it when babies smile in their sleep! That last photo is so adorable! Ruth is really beautiful--such a treasure! Roman looks like a blast. He is really at a fun age!
