I get by with a little help.

My Mom has been such a huge help since we have been back in NJ. She came to watch the boys while I took Emily for her weight check appointment. I don't have many pictures of her with both boys so when I saw her on the couch with all 3 kids I had to snap a picture! Thanks Mom for all that you do!!!

Monkey See Monkey Do

Whatever Mommy is doing is what Josh wants to be doing. When he saw me using the breast pump for the first time the other day, he wanted in on the action. I handed him the pump and he lifted his shirt and went to town!

First modeling gig.

A high school friend contacted me on facebook and asked if Emily could model some clothing items from her children's boutique. How could I resist? Here is the first picture I took of Emily modeling a pettiskirt and hat. Most of the other items are too big for Miss Emily so we will have to wait until she grows into them.

Welcome to the world Miss Emily Marie Carpenter. The delivery was uneventful and everyone is home now doing just fine.

Josh and his babies.

Josh has a slight obsession with babies. We have had many visitors, both family and friends, since we have been back in NJ. It has been absolutely wonderful!! It helps take my mind off of our baby's arrival. Therefore, if anyone that is reading this wants to stop by, please do :) Some friends of ours have recently had babies and Josh has been loving them up. Jared, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with them. I know once our baby arrives I am going to have to keep my eye on Josh at ALL times. He just wants to constantly hug and kiss and touch. Here are a couple of the babies he was loving up. (I am having trouble uploading pics so stay tuned.)

In the meantime . . .

here are some pics of the boys tending to the lawn. I LOVE when the boys want to follow right along with what Drew and I are doing. If they aren't brewing beer together, they are taking care of the house in some fashion.

So no baby yet

and I have no excuse to be slacking on posts to this blog. If I am this slow uploading and editing the baby's pics I will be in trouble!! Anyway, I am completely ready for this baby to make his/her appearance. We have been ready for days and days and that is probably the exact reason he/she is staying put. Oh well. I am trying not to be too impatient!!!!
