One month down...



Life is busy. Diapers (sizes 1 and 5). Feedings (every two hours on the dot). Laundry (at least a load a day). Cooking (from Everyday Food...great cookbook). Cleaning (how many toys does one two year old really need?). Staring into this perfect little face (as often as possible). Life is good.

I only have eyes for you




Isla has spotted her big brother and it's love at first sight.

Having two children born on the same date is an amazing thing. Looking at my beautiful baby girl moments after she was born and then seeing my big two year old boy really put into perspective just how fast the time goes. Before Isla was born I thought about this "time-flying" phenomenon and made a pledge to myself to take more pictures (especially video). Unfortunately, timing was not on my side and our third (yes, third) camera in two years quit working. No second story drop, no toddler toss in the toilet, no negligence whatsoever. It just quit. We promptly took the camera to the camera ER in the mall and sadly signed away on a 6 week repair voyage for the Canon. Mind you, Jack's birthday was a week away and the baby was due a few days following. A few days before The Birthday, Adam was talking with a neighbor about our ill camera and the crappy timing and as luck would have it she had just purchased a new one. She offered us her "old" camera to use so that we had something to document this eventful time. I am so happy we had a camera, but I can see why she needed to buy a new one ;)
