Joel just enjoyed a mini vacation to Glamis sand dunes in California with all his best buddies. Lots of good four wheeling, hot sun, and sand in his tent. This is one of Joel"s top five favorite places to go.

Kruz is now four weeks old and growing fast!

My mom and dad were able to spend time with the two boys recently. It was so nice to see Jack interact with them, he absolutely adores them! I am very lucky to have such wonderful and supportive grandparents for my kiddos.

My mom, Suzanne, was able to spend four weeks here to help. I didn't want her to leave! She cooked, cleaned, ironed, chased Jack, rocked babies, and waited on me when I was in need after having Kruz. She is an amazing woman, and I appreciate her more every day.

My dad, Mike, came for a few days. Joel and I were happy to have our son named after such a wonderful man. Jack had a blast going on walks with grandpa and wore him out every day he was here!

Soon, Joel's family will be here to visit our little guys! I can't wait for them to meet Kruz. Jack is getting excited to see his Grandmas and auntie Katerina!

Little Sleeper

I have forgotten how much newborns sleep! Kruz is sleeping pretty well, better when laying in Mommy's arms. He has been having tummy aches that wake him from his slumber when he's in his crib. At night Kruzie is waking about twice a night to eat, get a belly rub, and nightly leg pushing practice to get out those terrible toots that ail him! Jack loves rubbing his cheeks when he's asleep and if Kruz cries, Jack will rush over to him and sush him back to sleep or tell me, "Kruz cayin' mommy".

Absolutely Adorable
