1 month old

Our little Corban is one month old this week. His favorite things include swinging in his automatic swing (we've already had to put new batteries in it), looking around while being propped up on anyone's shoulder, and the usuals...sleeping and eating. He tolerates being held by his big brother and is sure to let us know when he is uncomfortable. He is starting to smile a bit and we've even heard a few coos. He's growing fast and is about to outgrow any newborn clothes he has.

Christmas Cuties

Corban's 1st Christmas

A sweet smile is the perfect gift!

I imagine Caden is telling Corban all about Santa.

Brothers

Thanks to Gamma for the "I'm the big/little brother" matching shirts!

All I want for Christmas...I already have!

Fun With Gran'Pa

Gran'Pa is in the process of building Caden and Corban a new play structure. Meanwhile, Caden is enjoying "testing" a few pieces before they go up. This is a rope that will be attached to a climbing wall. Caden thought it made a great swing and didn't understand why Gran'Pa wanted to take a break after swinging for only a few minutes.

Updates

I hope everyone enjoyed our little guessing game as much as we enjoyed reading your comments. Your wait is finally over! (If you haven't had a chance to guess who is who in the next post, stop reading now and scroll down!)

Before I post the answers...are you aware that this is post #300 for our blog?! We began this blog with the announcement of being pregnant with Caden three years ago. What a joy it has been for us to share our family with all of you!

I should also mention that our internet has been very inconsistent since we arrived back in Kara. For those of you trying to reach us on Skype, thank you for your voicemails, but we will not be able to talk to you until our internet is back to some kind of normalcy. Please understand that we are just as disappointed about not being able to talk to our friends and family.

OK, OK...here are the correct answers:
1. Corban - 3 weeks
2. Corban - 3 weeks
3. Caden - 1 month
4. Caden - 3 weeks
5. Caden - 1 week

God has blessed us with two beautiful little boys! I look forward to watching them develop into their own personalities with individual characteristics.

Guess Who?!

Each picture is numbered below.
Leave a comment with your guesses on who is who....

I'll post the answers in a day or so.

Sorry, there is no prize for the winner...just the satisfaction of knowing who my children are.

2 weeks old

Yes, he's a good eater and sleeper...can't you tell?!

Blue Laundry

And what do you do with the baby while moving clothes from the washer to the dryer?....
Yea for blue laundry!

Don't Worry, We're Alive

It's just that our phone line, and therefore our internet, has been down since we came home to Kara one week ago. You might have been thinking that we were not posting because our new baby is a handful, but that's definitely not it...Corban has been an absolutely amazing baby so far, even easier than Caden was. We'll update everyone on everything as soon as it is back up. For now, here is pic of Caden and Corban, best brother friends!
