One Month



Our little Megan is one month old today. I can't believe it. She is doing well. She definitely has her fussy times, but other times she will sleep for 8 hours. (We are working to get those long chunks of sleep at night.) She has outgrown the newborn diapers and has the cutest little chubby cheeks. We just love her and love the way she completes our family.



Big brother Jonny loves his little sister.

So sleepy...


With cousin Lily (6 months older than Megan)


Bath time.

Richard returned to work yesterday and I survived. It was such a huge blessing that he was able to be at home for so long. He stayed super busy driving the kids here and there, organizing the house (we can even park in the garage again!), and potty-training Jonny. Yes, you read that right folks...Jonny is potty-trained. (Aren't you glad you are reading this blog???) I really didn't think he was ready, but after a few days of getting hosed off after every accident, Jonny decided he didn't like being wet all the time. And we are glad. He and Daddy are the best of buds and Jonny sure misses having Dad home all day. (We all do actually.) He is an amazing dad!

One thing I do not miss is the beard that Richard grew the whole month. Even Megan didn't like it.


He finally shaved it off (in stages) the night before going back to work. Here's our favorite:


I guess he wants me to kiss him after all.

A few days after bringing Megan home, Rebecca got braces. She was so excited to get them. She quickly decided that braces are not all that exciting and actually quite painful. After the first few days, the pain went away and life is good again.


I can't believe how fast they all grow up.

  1. What a great looking family! I love seeing all those pics! (Well, maybe not all...Richard is a little scary in that one! LOL). Glad all is well!

  2. nate attempts that facial hair thing every once in a while. the lack of kisses he gets fortunately keeps the time to a minimum. great pictures!
