Mako just turned 4 years old, but he was all puppy when he felt the cold air.
He can run really fast!(You really should click on this picture so you can see his ears!)
Here's Caleb showing off his jacket. I'm finding having two kids to be different than I expected, my friend Renee said she felt like a real mom once she had two kids, but I don't feel particularly mommier. It is really different than having your first baby - with a first baby, you have the (I use this term loosly) luxury of focusing on your baby - no one is begging for crackers or unrolling all the toilet paper as you endlessly nurse your baby. It is stressful to have only one baby - but mostly because you're tossed out of the hospital on your own to translate all your baby's cries. I am so relaxed this time!
Caleb is who keeps me anxious. I feel like I have one mission when both he and Annalise are awake - keep him from hurting her - whether intentionally or unintentionally. The funny thing is though - that when he does hit her or something, she cries (of course) and it's like I can see the future and she's 4 and he's 6 and and he does something cruel, but relatively trivial and she coming crying to tell on him. Ah well, so is life...I am getting more done than I expected before my mom left. I did a load of laundry this morning, baked a pie for a potluck tomorrow, and actually swept the downstairs floor - ok, about 1/3 of the downstairs floor, but it's a start! Not to mention that we have actually eaten hot food for the last 3 nights - and I cooked on 2 of them.
