And We're Back

Whew....hard to get posts out now that I'm back at work.  I'm sure I'll figure out a way to balance it all again so no one misses out on new pictures and videos of the kids!  My first week back went better than  I thought.  I do have an amazing  and rewarding job.  It was great to see so many smiling faces from my kids even if I was missing my own.  Kieran did really well at daycare and is handling bottles like a champ.  Svea, of course, is doing just fine at daycare too.  She is loving the new little girl, Payten too.  We hear about her all the time along with Mason.  The three of us are on the mend and we thought Dan might be completely missing out on our sickness, but just this afternoon he started feeling a bit under the weather. I'm crossing my fingers for a fluke.

 Here are a few pictures of Kieran really getting the hang of holding onto objects and lifting his head off the floor when he is on his tummy.  My Mom is here for Svea's birthday weekend!  She helped me bring the kids up to St. Cloud for Kieran's 3 month and Svea's 2 year pictures. We got at least one picture of both kids smiling...score!

 Dan is part of a mystery hay ride tonight at church.  The kids think they are going around on a hay ride and the mystery is where they'll end up, but the actual mystery is people hiding in bushes and around corners with chain saws and gory costumes.  I love it!  I hope someone pees their pants!

I can't wait for Svea's birthday.  It's been windy the last few days, bleak, and cold.  It brings back memories of a crazy day two years ago when we welcomed Svea.  I get teary eyed just thinking about one of the best days of our lives.  Having children is the best gift ever!  Pictures from her big day coming soon!
