Hugs and Kisses

I made it through my first week as a mommy of two on my own! Jeff has been a great help and even went to the grocery store the last two Sunday nights grocery list in hand to stock up our house. Monday we braved the mall for some toddler Summer clothes shopping. Luckily Grandma was able to come along to help because we found out pretty quickly that pushing a double stroller is near impossible while trying to maneuver around sale racks. Tuesday my friends brought the kiddos to my house along with lunch for a playdate. In the afternoon Johanna was able to go to her Aunt Kara's while Jeff and I went to the hospital to welcome our friends newest addition, baby Easton. Thursday I had the kids ready for our first MOPS meeting then Friday we were able to make it to my Moms and Tots meeting as well! (Usually we don't have both in the same week, but it happened to work out that way this month.) Johanna had a great time at church, with the weather being so nice her class got to go to the playground she's been envying all Winter. Now we are back to Monday and my friend Brittany brought her daughter over along with lunch and a casserole for dinner, we feel so loved!

Now I can have a big sigh of relief- its been a whole week and we've managed to stay busy and survive. In all honesty, besides the moments when both children decide to scream their little heads off at the same time as if it were the end of the world it has been a joy and I may even go as far to say (knock on wood...) easy! Johanna loves loves loves her baby brother and is constantly wanting to hold and love on him. Here is some picture proof.

First time holding baby brother at home.

This was the Nathan/Tyler night- Johanna is wearing 'buszz' jammies that she borrowed from her cousin Nathan, and JJ is wearing Nathan's little brother shirt that he's been borrowing from his cousin.

 Big hugs :)

 Kisses!
