Life with Tagen...

Life with two kids is going well... so far.  But, that's not to say there haven't been challenges. Thank goodness Brad has been able to be home with me.  He's such an amazing father and husband and has been a true lifesaver for me this week.  I'm so grateful for the way he treats me and takes such good care of me.  I couldn't have done anything this week without him!  We'll see how I do after he returns to work this week.  I'm glad Olivia is old enough to be a good help to me and that she loves to run and get me different things I need, or that she will come and give me a hug when she can tell I need it.  She's definitely a treasure to have in our home. Tagen is also a treasure.  Her sweet personality and mellow temperament are exactly what we needed. She's still sleeping lots, especially through the day.  There have been a couple long nights, but we're hoping the new schedule I've started will help even those out.  Here are a couple pictures of our week so far.

Olivia can't get enough of her little sister.  She's always giving her kisses, asking to hold her, wants to help with any little thing she can, and overall thinks Tagen is the coolest thing since sliced bread!

Here's our little stylish dresser.  Everything is still too big for her.  These are 0-3 months clothes, and they fit about the best out of everything she owns so far.  BUT, I'm not complaining, because as I realized with Olivia, they grow up so fast and I want her to stay this small and cuddly for as long as I can get it.  Don't you love the little hat?  We're going to be wearing that lots, especially if her hair continues to fall out at the rate it is already.

We're so grateful for this blessing in our lives.  What a wondrous gift to be able to raise such sweet spirits, and to be entrusted with them.  It's a big responsibility and one Brad and I don't take lightly.  I pray that we can do right, and raise them to be wonderful people who love the Lord and do their best to serve others around them.
