Second hairy child

Some of you know about Charlie and some have not seen him in a while. Charlie joined our family in March. He came from the same people we adopted Hannah from. He is a mix of Jack Russell and Chihuahua.

Skip, our first hairy child is on the right. He wondered at first what he had done to get such punnishment but they are good friends now.

New addition (to the house)

Before Hannah joined us, Jon started putting a porch onto the back of our house. We had talked about it since we moved in and he felt this summer was the time to get it done. He still needs to put on railings and some trim work and painting but he is mostly done. We have to acknowledge the help of my brother Derek and his brother Stephen. We also had a bit of help from Jon's sister Janet. Thanks!!!

Stay at home mom

First my apologies to all my stay at home mom friends. I was really excited to know that I would be home for two weeks with Hannah and Carter. I started working on my list of things that needed to be done around the house and I just knew that it would be a great time to accomplish that list. Well as you stay at home moms could guess, I think out of 15 things on my list I have accomplished two of them in the first six days I have been home. Oh well, I am also learning that the real joy in staying home is spending it with my children. The list will continue to wait.

Hannah is here!!!

She arrived on September 19, 2009 at 10:57 AM. She weighed in at 6 pounds, 3 ounces. She is so sweet. We have had her home for a week now and we are thrilled.

Here she is taking her Sunday afternoon nap. Maybe that is what we were hoping she would do.
