I said I would never do it but here I am!! I finally decided I need a blog. I tried scrapbooking and quickly realized that it is not one of my talents. I am really good at posting pictures on my picasa web album but that doesn't really update people on what we are up to.
Life has been crazy over the last couple weeks. We completed our family on October 19th with the birth of our second daughter Peyton Elizabeth. I told everyone that I was going to be induced at 9:30 am and she would be born at 10pm. What do you know? She was born at 10pm on the dot! She was 9 lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long. Big healthy girl! So far she has been an awesome baby. I think she has cried all of two minutes total.
Big sister Audrey is doing amazing! She likes Peyton but mostly ignores her. She gives her kisses before bed and makes sure she has a blanket but other than that she gives her space. I think once Peyton is a few months old and can smile and look at her things will change.
Audrey is still loving preschool. She goes three days per week from 8am to 12pm. She is always so excited to get there and doesn't want to leave when I go pick her up. She is so smart! She has to be involved in all the conversations. If I try to talk to Paul about something she will interupt with "mommy what you talking about?" Her favorite phrases right now are "what's that?" and "what are you doing mommmy/daddy?" She will repeat it over and over about everything.
Paul is doing great at work. He recently upgraded to the Baron which is a multi-engine aircraft. He loves it. His students are difficult but nothing Paul isn't capable of fixing. For his birthday Paul received some power tools which he has already put to good use. We have new canvas art for the living room that he made, shelves, a refinished dresser, and Audrey is getting a new bookshelf/cubby hole toy holder. After he finishes the bookshelf he will start on some end tables for the living room. I have to say he is really good at the handy man stuff!
After much debate we have decided to stay in Bakersfield for Christmas. Paul's parents offered to fly us out to Colorado and my mom asked us to come out to Prescott as well but we decided it's a better idea to stick around here. With having a newborn and 2 year old we really don't want to risk them getting sick. Especially with the H1N1 flu going around. It will be really hard not having any family with us on Christmas but we are going to make the best of it. I will cook an awesome dinner and we might take Audrey up to the mountains to play in some snow. We will see what our exact plans are as the date gets closer.
