Hello everyone!
I realize it's been awhile since I last posted something for y'all to look at. Let me see if I can find something for ya. Right now, both girls are playing quietly (which is rare!) It's a rainy day here in Clarksville and the thunderstorms woke Emily up from a short one hour nap this afternoon. I was hoping for at least 2 hours- but oh well! It will make for a better bedtime tonite! :)
Taylor still manages to sleep through both thunderstorms and Emily's crying which is nice but mommy needs a break, too!
I'm trying to get both girls on the same nap schedule- so I can have some downtime during the day- but it's proving to be a challenge! I am really hoping that the only reason Emily didn't sleep longer today was nature interrupting her and scaring her. Didn't they have thunderstorms in Kaz?
As far as adjusting goes- I'm handling things. Feeding one more and changing one more set of diapers isn't that bad. It's the constant way the girls get into each other's business that is the exhausting part of this. Along with the fact that I don't know Emily's needs the way I know Taylor's. That's hard for me. I feel guilty alot. Emily is babbling and smiling alot, though, so I know she's doing okay. She's really into Zoe now. She loves on her and pets her all the time. Zoe has to get up and leave the room to get away from all the affection sometimes. Pretty funny!
Chris was home for the weekend and we had a great time. Emily is warming up to him, but it takes time. He should be home in another week or so. It's nice to have him around to help with everything- I'm realizing very quickly that some things just aren't going to get done on my timetable! I had to realize that when Taylor was born, too, so it's not hard- it's just another "thing" to cope with.
The most important thing is that Emily is bonding well and still very much in the adjustment process. We all are!
Wish I had some pictures- but I can't find any new ones!

Awesome! It is good to hear that things are going well. What dear blessings! Still no news on our end. Love, Joel and Nancy
Carrie,
I am so glad you are still posting to the blog.
What you are doing takes so much guts and faith.
I can't even fathom the munchkin mayhem but I know you will find the ways to come through it with Grace.
I've still got a candle lit for all of you in any case.

P.S. - Any time you can get a picture of the munchies with Zoe - I'd love to see it.
Thanks for taking the time to post an update. You are still in our prayers.
Don't worry about the "mommy guilt" of balancing two kids...in a few months you will have all worked out a balance of time and attention. It WILL get easier...and when #3 comes you'll adjust again.
Galatians 6:9 says, "Do not become weary in doing good for in due time we shall reap a harvest if we do not give up!" Hope that verse encourages you as much as it does me.
Love to you my friend!

Hello Chris and Carrie who used to live on the corner! It's Jean. Congratulations for opening your heart and home to Emily. She's a precious gift, huh? Our news is that Dick accepted an Area Sales Manager job with Greyhound so we are Raleigh/Durham NC bound. Perhaps our paths will cross.
We miss you like crazy.
