Update and some photos

As you can imagine, things have been a little crazy around here. Tim has been home all week which has really helped. I can't imagine next week when he has to go back to work! Elsa seems to like her sister. The only thing that's different so far is that she's become much louder and likes to scream out of nowhere.

Lila is a pretty quiet baby who likes to sleep a lot. I'm not used to that! I keep wanting to wake her up so she sleeps at night, but she still sleeps at night, too. Yes! She eats a ton and had already gained 12 oz. in 3 days when she went to her first doctor appointment on Monday.

Thanks everyone for your nice messages and well-wishes. I was actually the winner of the baby due-date contest, but don't worry, i'll refrain from going on and on about how awesome I am. Instead, i'll mention second place: Shane! and third place: Sheri! You guys are awesome.

And now, some pictures:

Elsa playing in her pool on 4th of July weekend.


She loves watering the flowers with her elephant watering can.


The new family of 4 spent some time outside the day after we got home from the hospital. There wasn't anywhere to put Lila, but the guitar case ended up working just fine.


Lila, 3 days old.


The girls together. Elsa looked so proud holding her new sister!

I'm so happy for you and glad she's not a screamer like her big sis, ha ha. And laundry baskets work too if Tim has to take his guitar someplace.
Love you,

I love the picture of the two girls together! So cute! And I'm very glad to see you've got Lila buckled in that swing/bouncer chair contraption. Haha. :)
We'll miss you at the Karl Oskar Days festivities this weekend. Don't worry though, we'll have a couple for you! Love-love.
