More Pictures of Leah!

Leah is almost 10 days old, and this week has been a week of many firsts. We had our first night in our home as a family, our first trip out of the house to go see the doctor, our first walk as a family (thanks to the beautiful weather we had today!), Ryan's first day back at work, the first time we went through 4 diapers in one diaper changing session... So here are a few more pictures of our little peanut's first week. (That's right, more pictures! I'm sure we'll be taking lots of them since we still find everything from stinky diapers to spit bubbles to be absolutely adorable...)

This hat is especially precious to me because it was the first baby item I
bought for Leah! I got it for 25 cents at the Children's Place outlet store
way back in June...

Here's Leah doing her best Popeye impersonation.

Sam's Blog Debut

The Coronavirus pandemic has us hunkering down at home like many people around the country, and we are working to make the best of it! The kids miss their friends at school and are disappointed about various things that have been cancelled or put on hold indefinitely, however there we are enjoying the time together as a family. The days are full of extra stories, games, puzzles, bike rides, and walks. We have started a few activities as part of our "school at home" routine and figured that resurrecting the blog might be a fun way to share what the kids are up to. But first, since the last time I wrote on the blog James was just learning how to crawl, and now James is a 4-year-old big brother, we figured we should officially introduce Mr. Samuel Drexel on the blog! Sam is 9 months old now and he is lots of fun. The kids have figured out a few ways to get him belly laughing in recent days. We all laugh when he crawls after a pilates ball and pounces...

A Very Belated Welcome to Baby James Lawrence

Ok. So, I haven't updated the blog in QUITE some time. And I have received subtle and not-so-subtle hints that certain loved ones far away would like an update! I will work on uploading some recent pictures and events! I feel it is only fair to give James a dedicated post, as I never posted pics here when our sweet new little guy was first born. As you can imagine, life has been a bit crazy around here. The good kind of crazy... But crazy. James was born 11/27/15 - almost a whole month earlier than his due date! He was 6 pounds, 10 ounces. He had a little stay in the NICU while his lungs strengthened and healed, and then we brought him home in time for Christmas. His first name, James, is Ryan's dad's name (and Ryan's middle name.) His middle name, Lawrence, was my Grandpa's name. He has two awesome patron saints and namesakes! He is now almost 6 months, is rolling, babbling, laughing, and starting to eat...

A Few End of Summer Activities

Just some recent pictures of the kids and their adventures...Leah is back to school (1st grade) and started pre-team at gymnastics. She mastered her two-wheeler and has been enjoying bike rides since! Wyatt started tumbling and we have at-home learning time when Asher takes his naps, which helps when he feels bummed that Leah gets to go off to school without him! Asher is 18 months now and a bundle of energy and fun. He, I'm sure, is glad Wyatt has another year before preschool! We think he is going to (mostly) like having a new brother around in a few months because he loves babies!
