Scrapbooking!

I can't be a blog slacker! I really am going to try to be good at updating, really - I am!

Actually, I've come to the realization that this blog IS my scrapbook! I had been into scrapbooking prior to having kids and had every intention of getting my act together and getting all the pictures into books from our wedding onward...however - I have not done any of that and our wedding was six years ago, so this is the next best thing. A fun thing I discovered is that you can actually have your blog turned into a book, so bonus, even better!

So what has our little family been up to?!

Well, Sunday was my birthday, and as a treat, my mom came over and scott and I were able to get out to run some quick errands for about an hour together - without the kids! It felt so good just to get out - I felt like a human again, after being pretty much cooped up for the past week and a half!

For my birthday, Scott got me some 'country living' boots - for walking around out on the property in Hamilton. Owen took a liking to them and had to try them on! :)



Here is my little fam just relaxing on Sunday afternoon - so cute!



On a random note, Scott and I have this little habit of sneaking into Owen's room and spying on him at night. And pretty much every time we go in, we find him in a different position, most nights we have to snap a pic - we have quite the collection!! Lately, we've been marveling at how big he's getting. Last night, though, he just looked gigantic - maybe that's because he was laying sideways?! Anyway, like always, we took a pic and it was too cute and funny not to share! :)



In Sydney news...she is getting bigger and more alert every day!

She slept in her crib all night last night! No - not the entire night through, just went back down in her crib each time after she got up - and didn't have to sleep in bed with mama!

Her little umbilical cord fell off last night, so today, she got her first bath. She wasn't a fan. But as soon as I wrapped her up in her towel, she was a happy camper!

She is such a sweet little girl - she barely cries and is just so content!
