Yay for updates!

Yes, we are still alive.  And yes, this is torture for me having to blog but for future sake-- I will be happy I did!

First off, I wanted to write about this because it made me such a happy and proud mom! I put Ruby in swim lessons this summer and SHE LOVED IT!  Every morning she would ask to put her swimming suit on and go swimming.  Leah and Demi rocked and now I have a little fish!

1st day of swim lessons!

She makes my heart melt

So, since my last post-- we now have TWO kids!  Eek!  Yep, Little Blake Brian Ellerman joined our happy family August 6th, 2012.  Born at 12:30 a.m., weighing 7 pounds 10 ounces and 20 inches long.

Oh wow, Im enormous! That body was done being pregnant!

Notice Brian is a little pale in the face-- Thats because he was in the chair about to throw up!  Thats right, He didnt get to see his 1st son being born because he almost passed out! I laugh now, but it wasnt funny then!

Ruby is awesome as an older sister, but not so much a daughter! :) I say that with pure love for her!  She definitely is a little stinker!  But her funny dance moves and the faces she makes and sweet kisses she gives makes up for her rottenness (a word?)! 

She unwrapped all the pieces of gum, folded them up and then told me she made a snake.

 Blake rocks.  He's such a happy little guy and loves life.  He started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks and is going strong!  He loves sitting up and seeing the world, his bath, and most of the time his sister.  What a perfect addition to our family he is!

His blessing day

 

 

  So now, Brian and I have our two little kids and we couldn't be happier!  A lot of the times, we sit and giggle at the silly things Ruby says or does, or make our grossed out faces at eachother when Blake is letting em rip!  Life is wild and crazy and I'm just starting to get the hang of having more than one kid to take care of!  I love it and I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything in the world!
