Although this set of pictures seems a little random, it only seems that way because our life is a little scattered with changing two kids in diapers (one of which who seems bent on leaving everything he can wet in his wake). Isabelle wants to come into our bed like Tobias, and so she does. [...]

I’m pretty sure that there wasn’t supposed to be a tea party at The Container Store, but Isabelle just didn’t see it that way. She wanted all four colors of chairs to be at her disposal and she played on them while Tobias was drinking milk in the corner and Nana was talking on the [...]

I have a feeling that this won’t be the first time that Tobias is subjected to a working and napping regimen in front of the computer screen, but I am simply trying to prepare him to face the fact that his father will be one of the most plugged-in and geekiest people he will ever [...]

There is nothing quite like carrying your 3-day-old around in a sling so close to your body that you feel like they could be a part of you. I loved putting Isabelle in the bjorn and just walking around the house, but Tobias is so light that the sling is perfect. He makes these soft [...]

Ben and Mandy took made this sign and took this picture. We love them for that (and so many other reasons). The best part of this picture is that I really do think that Isabelle had those feelings while we were in the hospital. She was really amazing about staying with the Counters, but she [...]

Isabelle loves to be at Fisher, especially on the playground. One of her teachers, sent this picture to us and I just thought that it was perfect.

A lot goes on at home, especially with Tobias in charge of much of our time. It took quite a bit of time (and a little bribery with a piggy bank) for Isabelle to warm up to our new family configuration, but I believe that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I will [...]

We picked out Tobias’ clothes specifically for the ride home. This isn’t what made the event special, but it did add to the excitement. Our existence in the hospital was a lot shorter than we had imagined (especially with a c-section), but we just missed Isabelle so much (and if you saw the picture on [...]

In the moments after our son was born, we really couldn’t keep from the wide-eyed wonderment that comes with the addition of human life to the world. But, the one thing that surprised us more than anything was how hard it was to remember the pronouns that go along with having a son.
We kept saying [...]

Although we really liked having family time in the hospital, it meant so much to have all of the amazing people in our life come to us. I’m not totally sure why it felt different than the last time around, but we felt infinitely supported by everyone’s phone calls, text messages, blog comments, and face-to-face [...]
