New babies, family and life.

Well that first post was actually posted a lot longer ago than it says. But yes, we had a baby boy on October 21, 2009. He was 7 lbs 3 oz and 21 inches long. Don't ask me what his head circumference was. We named him Zacharias Arthur. Arthur after my grandfather and Zacharias after John the Baptist's father. We call him Z since I never really loved the name Zach. It always makes me think of Zach Morris from Saved by the Bell. Love the show, but Zach is too cocky. At any rate, Z was the happiest baby right from the start. Also very alert. I swear he didn't sleep for the first 3 days. He has been a star child ever since.

We have felt very lucky, and then on December 27, 2011 we were blessed to have a baby girl. Despite what the midwife predicted, she came out only 7 lbs 1 oz, 2o inches long. We named her Taylor Rose. Taylor after Jason's middle name and Rose for my middle name. Taylor didn't come out as alert or as happy as Z. In fact she has had a permanent look of worry across her brow since day one, minute one. It's pretty funny. And when she gets really worked up and is really crying out, she will look me right in the eye with her hands out and shaking, and just yell. I have to laugh (which is a little insensitive I know) because she seems to be such a drama queen! But she is adorable. We couldn't love her more. She is 3 months old now and has rolled over a couple times, and just started laughing yesterday at her Aunt Hannah. She is starting to look a little less worried these days as her spirit settles into her little body and she becomes more in control of her movements.

Z loves spending time with her and holding her and has the most sensitive heart. He feels so sad when he accidentally hurts her (as he did the other day by running full speed into her head with his red wagon).

We are all four a very happy family. I couldn't ask for anything better in my life than the blessing of a good and supportive, motivated husband and two wonderful children.

Thank you for reading.
