Plugging right along

Things are going well around here. Sarah continues to be a very easy baby. She rarely cries and is very easy to put to sleep. Will is staying entertained most of the day playing with his Christmas presents. His two big gifts were a tool bench and an art table.

Jenni and I are enjoying the new van. At the rate we have been going the last couple days we should be up over 100,000 miles by the end of the year. Either the novelty or the tires will wear off eventually.

Hope all is well. Here are a few pictures.

Smile!

"See my boots!!" 

Santa came to our house a little early this year... :) :) :) :) 

Watching the santa inflate that "Buff " won at a dirty santa party. 

must be having a worrisome dream! 

We all look soo forward to the popcorn that Granny McCaw sends us...I'm not going to tell anyone, but ours is already about halfway gone!!!  

This is Will's favorite popcorn tin from Granny McCaw because it's the first one he can open on his own.  

This newborn santa cap works perfectly as a leg warmer :) 

She wasn't terribly impressed

An update from Baby World

Well, it's day 9 and we're all still alive :) Not only are we alive, but things are actually going really well. Sarah is still eating well, and sleeping all night except when I wake her to feed her every couple hours. Since she's sleeping so well, we're getting plently of sleep. So, so far, we've avoided those dreaded first sleepless nights.
Will continues to be the sweetest big brother. He loves to point things out to her, loves to hold her, and tries his best to help me take care of her. He's been great about playing on his own or sitting with me while I feed her. My favorite story so far is this one...we were on our way home from the pediatrician's office and Sarah started to fuss. From the backseat, we heard a little voice tell her, "we're almost there, Baby Girl." I'm pretty sure it made me cry, it was so sweet!
I'll go ahead and give a huge shout-out to my mom, dad, and brother. I'm not sure we would have made it through the last week without them! They've been soo helpful taking care of Will and me. I am pretty helpless right now not being able to drive or lift anything other than the baby. They've been a huge help! We've also had numerous friends bringing us food, and coming to stay with me while Stephen has been flying. We really appreciate all of them too!
The person I appreciate the most right now is Stephen! He has done such a great job keeping up with the house, and Will, and me, and the animals...oh yeah, and going to work. :) I couldn't have survived this week without him!
That's it from the inside...thanks to all of you who have called to check up on us or sent or done stuff for us...we REALLY appreciate it! Here's a few pics from our first week home.

"Hi, everybody!" 

Will enlisted "Baby Seerah" to hold the top to his push pop. 

Just a little idea of how small she is...this is a Baby's first Christmas ornament that Mrs. Peek gave us. It is the same size as Sarah's little head. 

So peaceful. 

Mimi and Bips. 

She will be well loved. 

"See baby Seeerah?" 

See his little cut? The nice nurses stitched him up after a little run in with the table. A little blood and a few tears are a small price to pay for a new sister.
