It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Hello again! Finally a post including our newest family member... For those of you who didn't hear the details (pretty sure everyone has!), Jersey Joy Schween was born at 4:45 pm on Wednesday, December 8th, weighing 6 lb 5 oz and measuring 19 inches long. She is doing beautifully and we are so blessed to have her here with us and healthy and thriving this Christmas season. So far she's been 100 x's easier than Tyson was as a baby, probably partly because we're not first time parents with this one and aren't so stressed out ;-)

Tyson is a great big brother so far and wants to give her "five" and "kisses" and "hugs" most times she is awake. He's even held her a couple of times, though his attention span is short so you have to pay attention because when he's done, he's done, and he'd probably just toss her on the couch so he can get down and keep playing. We're adjusting to our new family status of FOUR, and enjoying all the time we have at home together. Here are a few glimpses of pictures from this week!

Little snow angel :)

Just thrilled to be stuffed in a Christmas stocking!

My little elf.

Brother wants a turn to hold her. He loves looking at, and pointing out, her eyes and nose and mouth.

Sweet sibling kisses.

Santa's little helper.

Still so tiny! Taking advantage of all the squishy snuggle time I can get.

Four stockings this year! We are so excited to spend Christmas at home together. Plus, my MOM is here for Christmas!!!!!!!!!! YAY! It is, indeed, a special time of year.

Stay tuned for more holiday fun photos...
