my 3 men

Here are the 3 "men" in my life.

car wash anyone?

Here's Seth helping out Daddy with washing the car and the van. When Paul was off the 2 of them spent lots of time together and enjoyed the beautiful weather of being outside and washing our vehicles. Seth thinks he's a big man!

do they look alike??

This is Seth at about 2 1/2 weeks old. Now Seth was almost 3 lbs bigger than Ethan is though.

Ethan at just over 2 weeks. We tried to take some comparison pictures to see if they look alike. Many people think Ethan looks like Seth, but I don't know. I think he looks more like my side of the family or some of my cousins on my Mom's side.

thought I would post this one too, since he looks so cute!

finally!

Finally, we were able to get a picture of Seth holding Ethan. He has given Ethan lots of hugs and kisses, but has not wanted to hold him. But last night he did for the first time. He looks like a proud brother! I think Seth had high expectations of a sibling that would play with him, not eat, sleep and cry. But soon enough Ethan will grow up and be able to play with him.

So far, we are doing pretty good around here. Ethan is feeding well and sleeping longer throughout the night. I only have to feed him one time throughout the night, which is great for us to catch up on our sleep. We are thankful for this little bundle of joy. He is such a blessing and a very good baby.

I think we are getting his days and nights straight. Ethan is almost 1 week already. He is such a good baby and we are so happy with him. It is definitely busier around our home, but it is all worth it!

last pregnancy post????

This is my pregnant belly at 40 weeks along. Hopefully this will be my last week pregnant. My due date was today, and so far nothing. We will see what happens. Next time I do post though, we will be announcing the arrival of our little one. So keep checking in on us!

Easter thoughts

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16

His love is unquestionable-

its power unconquerable,

its impact unmistakable,

its meaning undeniable,

its mystery unexplainable,

its sacrifice incomparable,

its price unimaginable,

its depth immeasurable,

its absence unthinkable!

my working men!

I came downstairs and found Seth & Daddy working on our basement bathroom. Seth told me that they were "working men". I thought it was cute and took a picture. Whenever Paul is working on home renos, Seth is right there with his tools and ready to help along!
