Busy times...

Lauchlin and I went to a marriage conference last weekend. Hence, I was so engaged with getting ready for that event that I didn't make time to blog. Jude stayed here in our home with our friend Cindy who gave her time generously. Prisca stayed in our hotel room at the conference with a babysitter. It worked out really well. We got to enjoy the sessions and spend time with our small group and refocus on our marriage. It was a helpful time and refreshing.

I do the 'two kid' thing on a daily basis but as I prepared instructions for others it made me realize how crazy things are sometimes around here. I am sooooo grateful that I get to stay home with my kids and enjoy these precious times with them. Here are some glimpses at our day.

Morning routine involves Prisca waking up and being fed in our bed. Lauchlin is already gone for the day at 6:30am. Storge apparently likes Prisca alot more than he ever has liked Jude. He comes every morning and snuggles with us.


Then Jude wakes up and I bring him in to sit in Prisca's crib while I change and dress her. He loves hanging out there.
If she starts fussing he grabs her pacifier and shoves it in her mouth. It is sweet. He also loves to hug and kiss her or pat her when she is upset.
We then go eat breakfast while Prisca plays in her playpen. She eventually goes to sleep for one of her morning naps. I thought she looked so cute here, like she is just worn out!
Jude and mommy get some time together while she sleeps. Jude loves to get into all sorts of things at this point. He loves sitting in Prisca's bumbo but gets stuck and gets angry. He loves going into the kitchen and pulling up something to stand on and getting into the drawers. Therefore we gate it up to eliminate that struggle.
Prisca continues to grow and it is amazing how fast she is developing. It seemed to take forever with Jude but with our second, she seems to be flying through different stages.
Daddy loves to spend time with his kiddos. Jude is much more engaging right now so he and Daddy love to wrestle and run around. But, Prisca likes to smile at her Daddy too.

This picture just pretty much sums it all up! What a mess!! :)
Hope all is well with you. Happy Easter!
Much love,
Mackenzi (and gang)
