It's been a while....

I have been terrible about updating the blog! I can't believe how fast September has gone by (although there are days that pass by incredibly slowly). Everyone is doing well and adjusting to our new routine. Maeve is a wonderful big sister and Finn smiles every time he hears her voice. Maeves favorite thing to do right now is tickle his feet and "pet" him. This picture was taken while they were both laying on Maeve's bed playing.

Rosie to the Rescue

This weekend Zar met up with my dad in Tupelo, Mississippi to run a marathon, so my cousin Rose flew from Virginia to help me keep my sanity while watching the kids. We had a great time playing and catching up. Rose was able to spend some great quality time with the kids and that was awesome. Today we begrudgingly took Rose to the airport and we were all sad to see her go, especially Maeve who ended up crying most of the way home.

Come back, Rose!

Siblings

It doesn't look like it will be too long before Finn can hold his own against Maeve... he is catching up so quickly! I am blogging from my iPhone right now at the doctors office and it is so strange to me to travel around with only one child. strange and easy! it is crazy how I would have thought this was so hard if I were doing it by myself with Maeve, but now that I am more seasoned, I cherish this quiet time while my newborn son sleeps. , even if it is while running errands and sitting at an appointment. :)

Giggle Monster

Although Finn is a snuggly little guy, he is quite serious and doesn't smile nearly as much as we remember his sister smiling. He is starting to crack some smiles and tonight Zar was able to make him laugh! We will try to capture it on film, but so far we haven't been so lucky. Here he is at one month old:
