First Blog

Okay, so Aunt Pat also put the suggestion to me to start a blog but Kristy starting one actually inspired me to get my butt in gear and do it. It was a lot easier to start than I thought. I won't be blogging everyday but I'll be giving updates mostly on the kids for family and friends who are interested. This is a good way for me to keep a journal on the family happenings that the kids may or may not be interested in having when they are older. I've never blogged before so sorry if I sound rusty. Feel free to give suggestions.

Right now I feel like one of the luckiest parents in the world. Foster has been sleeping through the night for over a week, and though I know it won't be consistently this way, I do believe he will be like his sister and be a good sleeper. Parents always ask me how I do it and honestly I think it's a lot of lucky and a little mean. Mean because I let them cry. But that's life right? Suck it up! I think that's my parenting motto. "Suck it up because I have no patience and you need to toughen up for life. So what if you're only two months old!"

"Awww, he's smiling at me. How cute. Okay, I'll hold you." (snuggle, snuggle) So much for being mean.

Bailey, my toddler spawnling, has taken to being a big sister like a trooper. She loves talking about her brother.....and about kids, and cake, and Xander, and Christmas, and playschool, and...... She just LOVES to talk. I would say it's cute but it's not. It's more annoying than anything. That's probably because I spend almost every waking moment with her, and she doesn't say anything interesting. Yet. Though she is funny sometimes. Just yesterday I asked her if she farted and she bent over, stuck her butt in my face and said, "No, it's all gone. See!"

I'll get some pictures up soon.
