Blurry pictures and a bumbo meltdown

Today the kiddos were around snuggling on the couch.  I took a few pictures that I like even though they are blurry... I'm working to figure out our camera soon I promise!
 That dimple is still oh so sweet!
 Sam climbs up and snuggles in with Campbell anytime I put her on the couch---
he's pretty sweet to his little sis!

 Happy handsome devil even when blurry
 He's always so expressive with his eyes and eyebrows...
this picture shows one of his many sweet looks
C still in her jams looking back at mom


Sam has been sitting in Campbell's bumbo seat the past few days off and on since she's not in it much yet.  Today he decided he was pretty sad that she was taking a turn.  : (  His mean mom just giggled and captured much of it on camera.  Who looks like the bigger baby to you in these pictures... Sam or Campbell?!  ; )






Once she was done and I took her out, Sam quickly carried the bumbo over to the other side of the room, dried his tears, sat down and went to work with his drill bits--- acting as if he didn't have a care in the world!!  Goofy boy!

Our Newest Love

Our Odyssey finally came in Wednesday of last week and we love love LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I've been driving around a loaner van for the last two weeks and gotten a little practice with one that isn't our's (didn't hit too many curbs I promise!).  We are already loving the room and ease of hauling two kids and all that goes with them.  Bryan and I are both looking forward to many years of convenience and memories in our fancy new ride!  Tease all you want... it's a no-brainer for us and we love it!
Campbell is growing and changing quickly!  She'll be 3 months old tomorrow
Chubby and bald... just like her mom!
 My favorite favorite three people at my parent's house in Ames this past weekend
 What a sweet girl snuggling with her dad!
Sam is still 100% in love with his grandpa!  And the silly remote!  : )

Right now this little lady...
 looks like this... 

not like this...
both are beautiful. 

Campbell is 8 weeks old today.  Wow.  She is a good good girl and we are enjoying every minute with her.  Over the last three weeks she has started to coo and smile which for sure melts your heart!  She enjoys being on your shoulder and has a really strong neck and core.  She is pleasant during the day but has a fussy hour or two right before bed.  Some nights are better than others but once she goes, she gets a 5-6 hour stretch, followed by a 4-5 hour stretch which is wonderful so we can't really complain!  Sam is loving her!  He likes to hug her, put in her paci or hand it to me like it's oh so important and she needs it right away!  He likes to lay his cheek on her's while she's upright on my knee burping in hopes that she'll turn into him and nibble on his nose--- it's pretty funny to watch him while it's happening--- ear to ear grin!  He wants to hold her but once she's in his arms he pulls back like he's had enough- then he wants her again- then he's done- then he wants her again- over and over! 




We are thankful each day for our two happy, healthy, beautiful kiddos!    

Here are a few more of Campbell in a newborn onesie I squeezed her into one last time... : )

Going to try to catch up...

Slowly I will get this blog kind of caught up!  Here are a few favorites from Christmas.  Many more to come... sometime soon I hope!  : )





This one is funny to me... it's been a tradition forever to take our family Christmas card with the camera on a tripod- here's an action shot!
