Just a starting note, I realize I need to update the family pictures and stuff. I plan on it, but don't really know for sure when it will happen. I am hoping to have my mom or Rachel take some quick family pictures sometime soon. Once we have a nice family picture, I will be sure to update the profile and stuff on my blog.
The night before last night, Eric, my mom and I were stuffing envelopes after Ericka had gone to bed. I put Claire in the swing, and couldn't resist taking this picture. She was wide awake and just hanging out. She is such a good baby. And the hair...I just can't even explain how excited I am about it! It is just so different from Ericka.
We continue to adjust to having two children. Reality hasn't totally hit because my mom is still here. Though I have a feeling that while she is in Utah today through Sunday, we will get a taste of it. It is awesome having two adorable, sweet girls, but has already proven to be a bit tough. I am not able to give Ericka the attention she is used to, and by not being able to do so, I feel bad. And it seems that she acts out a bit more. I am sure that all of you who have more than one child know what I am talking about. Mom says it will get better, and I know it will. I make it sound like it's so bad, and it truly is not. It is just an adjustment and there are lots of new, crazy emotions I feel. I love my girls so much though. They are utterly amazing!!

I wanted to show off her hair and how cute bows look! Also, take notice of how chubby the little munchkin is getting!

Claire's first bath...it was in the kitchen sink. My mom was gone with Ericka while I was bathing her, so I was only able to get one picture. Check out that hair!!! It gets all curly when it is wet. She gets that from her dad.

Just a picture to try and show how curly her hair gets. And, once again, look at that chub around the neck...she definitely eats well. When I took her in on Monday, she was six days old and had already gained six ounces. She's a healthy one!!

We sure love our girls! Yesterday I dropped some stuff off with my friend Jill and was talking a bit. One thing I said included something about how I had dressed my girls, with which she replied, "Sarah, you have girls." It was a crazy moment for me...I am now the mother of two precious angels! I am so grateful for all I have been given, especially the chance to bear and raise children. I am truly amazed how greatly I am blessed!

Man she is so cute. I can't wait to see her. Having 2 kids is work but it is wonderful at the same time when you aren't going crazy. Give them both a kiss for me and we'll hopefully see you soon.
