Long time, no entry...

It's been pretty much four months since my last entry...shame on me, but when you add a baby into the mix of a 2yr old it gets a little busy! Funny things keep happening so I felt I should restart the blog now...lets just say I took 16wks maternity leave! ha Posts to follow!

Max Anders Olsen

He has arrived! I'll give the short version....
Sunday morning we went to the hospital at 5:15am, progressed pretty well and pushed for a whole three minutes! Max was born at 2:08pm on May 24, 2009. We are doing great and are home now. We came home yesterday around 6pm. Fox is doing great with his new little brother! He's always saying hi and goodbye whenever he goes in and out of the room Max is in :) He has been having a great time with Grammie! Here is a link to see the pictures we've taken so far...so fun collages yet! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers awaiting his arrival, it has all gone so well!

Check back for updates on how everyone is doing!

Waiting for baby #2...

Just to give an update on baby #2...we are awaiting his arrival, trying to be patient! I'm due on Saturday (23rd). My mom's birthday is tomorrow, so hopefully my birthday present to her is a grandbaby on her birthday! I started having some contractions last night for about four hrs then went to sleep and they stopped and today I haven't had very many more. I feel good so that is helpful! Fox seems to understand some of what is going on. He has a big brother book that we've been reading to him and he loves it! He gives my belly kisses and says hi to the baby, and he knows the carseat is for brother and his bed and a few toys. It'll be an interesting adjustment, everyone seems to agree that going from one to two is the hardest...so we'll see! We are excited to meet this little man and see how Fox is with him. Pray for safe and healthy delivery! We'll keep the blog updated when he gets here! Thanks for keeping up.

Wagon Ride

I found a wagon at a garage sale and Fox loves it! We babysat Kaden and took them on a little ride to the Hy-Vee Drugstore on the corner. They were so cute...in their jammies and everything! It was a pretty exciting trip, the ladies working there loved them and they each got a new matchbox car...a bus for Fox and a jeep for Kaden! Something tells me that wagon will have a lot of miles put on it before long.

The New Sandbox

Mike and a friend put this box together for Foxy so he could have a sandbox in the backyard! It's so great...seats and everything! So after about 700lbs of sand it was ready to go! The neighbor girls came over too...they love just as much as Fox, if not more! Thanks Daddy!!

Happy Birthday Caleb!

A little video for Caleb on his 3rd Birthday.
We wish we could've been there to celebrate with you guys!

Perfect Vacation!

We had the best vacation! We wanted to take a vacation and a little break from Mike's work before baby #2 came along. It was so great, we got to spend all of our time together and just relax. We had breakfast lunch and dinner together everyday and had so much fun with Fox. He's getting so big and smart so fast! We wanted to have a nice vacation memory with just him before life changes dramatically for him and us! We are so blessed to have had that time together.
