3 Weeks 5lbs. 9 oz.


Rosie is changing daily! So adorable.
Happy family of four...missing home...nevertheless happy:)
Cruz loves his sister. His new thing is he says, "hey pretty girl," and gives her a kiss. It is so cute!

Papa Scott brought this cute shirt for Cruz from Washington D.C.
Since moving to Tennessee, we have become UT Football fans! Thanks to Nana Chelle, Cruz now sports these adorable sweats on game day...what a cheese.
I told you...she is changing so much. We think she is looking more like Cruz every day.

Me and my daddy:)
We were all a little stir crazy, so we went for a drive. Isn't it gorgeous? Fall is beautiful here!

Papa started something he shouldn't have...but Cruz loved driving the van and locking the doors:(

This one is for my dad...a landscape picture:) Just to give you an idea of what it looks like right now!

Well, all of our company/help has left and we are officially on our own...but we are surviving.

Taylor is extremely busy with school. We can't believe it, but he is already taking midterms this week. It is crazy how fast October flew by.

Rosie is growing slowly, but surely. We are still going weekly to have her weighed, hopefully this will be the final week. Thankfully, she is almost nursing:) My goal is to have her strictly nursing in the next two weeks...she is stubborn, but beautiful.

Cruz has hit the terrible two's. Again stubborn. I can't believe he will be two this month. He makes us smile every day. You would be amazed at how well he is talking. He cracks us up with new sayings every day. We are having to watch what we say really close. He is a little repeater. Halloween went by, and Cruz would NOT wear his adorable Lion costume!
We tried to bribe him with anything and everything, but he would not go for it! The fur around the face itched and he was not okay with that. However, he carried around his trick or treat bag all day, and was so excited to put candy in it.

Today is the 1st of November. I love November and the opportunity it gives us to pay special attention to the many blessings we have to be thankful for.
Being here in Tennessee has made us more aware of our blessings, and that in itself is something special that I am thankful for!

Love you all!

Just wait for the threes...aaaawkkk! It only get better/worse. :) I can't believe how much she looks like Cruz. How special. You'll get to keep yourself super busy while Taylor is in school. Sometimes kids can be your saving grace!

Seeing this post reminded me so much of Kolbe! He was a peanut when he was born...5' 11'' and he refused to nurse the first month! It was so hard and frustrating! But keep with it, it was litterally 5 crazy hard weeks then he stopped fighting me and nursed and grew way too fast! How's Taylor's school? Hope all is well!
