A Prediction

Gonna be handsome.

Just Go

Another quote that has been replaying in my ear is the advice from another mom of two I found on the web. "With two kids, just go.  Gooooo!"  Simply put but right on.  I am learning to face each day with as much energy and enthusiasm I can muster.  Megan

About Lydia

"Don't let yourself become so concerned with raising a good kid that you forget you already have one."  

This was a quote I recently came across that hit home.  Lydia has truly impressed me lately with her acceptance of Jack into our family, kindness towards others on the playground and easy transition to a toddler bed.  Having a newborn highlights how much Lydia has learned in just two and a half years of life.  So proud of the person she has become.  Megan

All About Jack

Jack is almost a month old and he is growing quickly!  He has quite the healthy appetite and is already too big for his newborn clothes.  Unlike Lydia, Jack is more a fan of his bouncer than the swing.  Also he is not a pacifier fan, though I keep trying (habit).  He enjoys car rides, his playmat, and being held.  Jack has his dad's chin.  Megan

San Diego Botanic Gardens

After spending much time at home over the past few weeks (doctor's recommendation), Lydia and I have enjoyed getting back to our out-and-about routine.  Jack likes to be active too, puts him right to sleep.  Yesterday we discovered the Botanic Gardens and became members.  The Childrens Garden was impressive.  Gotta take advantage of eighty degree weather in January.  Megan

My Family

This is our first family photo as a foursome, taken when Jack was just one day old.  It is a favorite.  Megan

Evidence

Evidence of the crime Folks.  Lydia climbed out of her crib (by stacking her blankets and stuffed animals) for the first time today.  Being a control freak, I am in total shock.  John, the Optimist, thinks it is wonderful.  "She is growing up," he reminds me.  Megan
