Finally....Spring!

Hello Everyone, I am so sorry that it has been so long since I updated! But it is much harder with two! My free time is spent cleaning or ...oh yeah...what free time? I dont really have much of that anymore, unless I feel like getting up at 5 am or staying up LATE (aka after 9!). anywho, we have all been doing quite well! Since last time we went to Wisconsin Dells with grandma and grandpa albers, which was a great time! The waterpark was great and Henry seemed to enjoy it much more than last year. Olivia also went for her first swim! She really didnt seem to mind it, which surprised us all a bit! I think everyone at the waterpark thought that we were nuts for bringing a 5 week old to a waterpark! but we had a good time and it gave us something to do to get away from the frigid temperatures for a couple of days! She even wore an adorable little swimsuit! Henry is gett bigger and bigger by the day and is saying more new words all the time. Our current favorite is "great-grandpa" he says it so darn cute, but for whatever reason he wants to whisper it like he is shy about saying it (he must know that i want him to say it to others because it is so cute and that is why he only whispers it to other people!!). He can count good to 13 now, i am so impressed with him! but the real change in him is that he is becoming more and more of a daddys boy. he gets so sad when scott leaves to do just about anything! Especially if scott is home for the morning and has to go to work or leaves to do something partway thru the day. it just breaks my heart! its so darn adorable! he also wants to go outside ALL of the time now. I think he too is sick of being stuck in the house. we are noticing him getting bored with his toys quite often now...he kind of wanders around the living room aimlessly, then he usually does something naughty! then we know for sure that he is just bored out of his mind! he also has started to have playdates with a little boy from our ECFE class, William. Neither one of them says much to the other, but hopefully they will start to talk to each other and want to play with each other! currently they just want to explore the others toys!

Olivia is also getting so big! I cannot believe that she is already 2 months old. It makes me so sad! She has the biggest, brightest smile it truly does just make my day when she smiles! She also has just a little giggle so far, i am waiting for the true belly laugh to start! It is much different with baby number two as i really just do not remember to get out the camera as much or write down exactly when the first smile was, which is unfortunate! But she is just a little doll! She is a fabulous lilttle baby for the most part though! She eats great and sleeps like only a little morgan baby can sleep...all through the night! from like 9-4 or 5! It is so fabulous for a breastfed baby! I can only hope that she will be half as good a sleeper as henry! she does like a little attention though, she must get bored relatively quickly because she does not like to be left alone with no noise or something to keep her occupied when awake! And at her two month appt she was already up to 10 pounds 13 ounces! Amazing! That was like the 63%! I was so happy!

Well sadly I go back to work in less than two weeks, i cannot believe it! It completely seems impossible! I love my job, but i also love being a mom and i really wish i could just stay home with them everyday and still have money to buy everything! wouldnt that be nice? oh well, I am in need of some adult conversation and gossip! And I am starting to feel like a preschool teacher because all we do is ABCs, counting, reading, coloring, and they are getting so boring! So...I guess maybe I am kind of ready to go back to work!

I better get going, I better pay some bills now...that is one of my other jobs...so currently I am a wife, nurse, teacher, accountant, cleaner, dish washer, clothes changer, park player, book reader, taxi driver, multitasker and most importantly a MOM!

Have a great night/day and We hope that Ethan is feeling better!

Love you all, The Morgan's

Lots of New photos/Baptism

Hey there everyone, We are all doing great at home, Olivia is now 3 weeks old....so sad! Just breaks my heart to think how fast the time has gone so far! She is just adorable! And she has been a fabulous sleeper and eater, thankfully! Enjoy our new pictures of Olivia and Henry!







Henrys first haircut by mommy! $15.00 is way too expensive for a ten minute hair cut! And if I can say so myself, I think it turned out quite nice! And after that, he made me some nice fingerpaint artwork!
