Our Double Stroller

Before Liam was born we debated whether or not we should purchase a double stroller to make life easier. Being that I walk Dylan to school everyday I thought it would be nice to have a double stroller to contain 2 kids at once. But, we decided against it. Mainly because they're so darn expensive and because as soon as we buy one Paige will decide she doesn't want to ride in the stroller anymore she wants to walk. So here's our solution...




We put Liam in the stroller all bundled up and Paige rides on the front. Luckily she doesn't weigh very much so it doesn't make it much harder to push. Plus she thinks it's a lot of fun to ride up front so she doesn't usually throw a fit about having to ride instead of walk.

Problem solved. For now at least.

A Comparison

Here are Dylan and Liam spending some time together.

Notice Liam's face. He looks pretty relaxed in these pictures.

Now look at his face when Paige is lying next to him.....




Not so relaxed anymore.

Poor Liam. I think sometimes he fears for his life when Paige is trying to cuddle with him. She usually ends up smashing some part of him because she just loves him a little too much. Good thing babies are so resilient!

The 6 week smile

Now that Liam has reached (and passed) the 6 week mark he has started to smile a lot more. Here are a few pics of his sweet smile.

Just in case you're wondering...

We are still here and I actually have a lot of cute pictures to post but I seem to spend A LOT of time holding a little someone who is quite attached to me lately. So between being mom to a newborn and two other kids plus all the extra activities the holidays bring, it seems the blog has fallen by the way-side. I hope to post new pictures soon, preferrably when I have more than one hand to type with :)

A Cute Paige Story

I tried taking pictures of the kids together but it's nearly impossible to get any where they're all actually looking at the camera without making some weird face. I guess these will have to do for now.

So here's the cute Paige story:

Today in church Paige made a picture of things she was thankful for. Her picture has the words: house, church, water and family. On the way home I was asking her what she was thankful for (I was curious to see if she would say the same things that were on her paper). Here's how the conversation went:

Me: Paige, what are you thankful for?

Paige: Family

Me: What else are you thankful for?

Paige: T.V.

Me (chuckling): What else are you thankful for?

Paige: Chocolate

At this point Dylan and I both burst out laughing.

New Pictures

Paige and Liam are both asleep right now so I thought I better hurry and post some recent pictures before either of them wakes up. Hope you enjoy.

Liam just relaxing in his car seat.

I think this picture is cute - I caught him mid-stretch.


Paige in Liam's car seat. She thinks she's so funny.

Lions, Tigers and Transformers....Oh My.

Happy Halloween. Here are some pictures from our Halloween weekend.

Liam was a lion. I realize it's hard to tell from this picture and I'm not sure why his little face is so scrunched up but he was pretty cute in his costume.

Here are Paige and Dylan with my mom (all the grandparents are here for the weekend). Paige came down with a bad cold which is why she looks the way she does.
