Kids Cleaning and Laundry Galore

Oh the joys of domestic life! I guess it's not all bad... Although, I will have to admit that I have been failing in the cleaning department... and cooking... well, it seemed like I had everything down when it was just Drezden and I, and then I decided to have another child(which I love dearly). I am still adjusting to having two children and I think I am beginning to get the hang of things again. I know this because I am finally able to keep the front room clean again. YAY!
Well, motherhood is calling... Drezden needs something, time to go ;)

Craft Fair

So, my sister in law and I are going to have a booth at a craft fair in Washington Terrace on November 22. It will be both our first time doing anything like this. We haven't yet decided what we will sale, but we have a few ideas... Like nursing covers, homemade soap, things for babies, decorative journals... I am not sure what else, but we would like to make something that is easy and inexpensive. Do you guys have any suggestions? We would love to make things that people would buy...

2 months and counting

I think he is adorable! He is getting so big. Well, not soooo big, but he is growing. He will be 2 months on the 11th. Time is just flying. I can't believe Drezden is already 17 months old. So, here's to 2 months and more.

a couple updated photos

This was taken right after she was dropped off after being at grandmas for a week... Doesn't she look tired? She must have had too much fun while she was away...















If you look to the right this was taken right after I gave her a plastic knife to use while eating... She is crazy. The hose was stuck, well we couldn't pull it out so she decided to try and help it come loose.

DRIVE IN

Last night we decided last minute to go to the Drive In Theater. I know you all may be surprised that the Drive In is still open in October, but it is and we watched Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda.
I have to admit that I had high expectations of these two films, but they were still good. One reason we wanted to go was to see how Drezden would do at the Drive In, and surprisingly she did well. Although, when the first flick was over she was ready for bed and she was a little grumpy. We were going to leave, but after Phil had put her in the car seat and the baby in his she ended up falling asleep and Phil talked me into staying for the second.
I really enjoy doing things all together and it was a nice experience to take both kiddos to the movies.

Make Me Babies

Haha... I saw this on someones blog and I thought I had to do it myself and see... So, I uploaded a photo of Phil and myself to see what the results would be and here they are... One baby girl and one baby boy. Well, at least with the boy they have the hair color right ;)

I will have to save these and compare them to my kids when they get a little older.

I miss her...

So, this last week Phil, Drezden, Sullivan, and I have all been sick. Drezden was the better of us all and to help me out a little Phil's parents took Drezden for the week. So, she has been gone since Saturday and I miss her. I almost don't know what to do with myself. If it wasn't for Sullivan I would probably drive out to get her even though I am still sick.

Phil took this picture of Drezden right before he went to the UK. It was taken on about August 23? I think she is so cute and she just has so much personality.


She is just one of my favorite people in the whole world and I love her to death! She really helps make my life exciting. It is exciting to watch her grow, and sad too. I want to enjoy every moment with her.

Photos Like I Promised

Sullivan Paul
I can't believe he is already a month old. Time sure does fly by. Drezden has been a great big sister and is adjusting better than I thought she would. We love Drezden and Sullivan so much and only wish and hope for the best. Here are a few photos of Sullivan including a couple with his big sister!

He's here!!!

Sullivan Paul Christensen was born August 11 at around 10 pm. He weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 21in long. He weighed the same as Drezden when she was born and was half an inch longer than her too.
The labor and delivery went well. I ended up going into the hospital to be induced. I arrived at the hospital at 6am. I went in and it took a while before they could find a good vein to get the IVs started. I elected to get an induction because I had the strep B bacteria again and I wanted to have enough time to get enough of the penicillin before the baby came. Well, I had plenty of time... haha. Anyways, It took a bit longer than I had expected. The baby just wasn't ready to come... I wouldn't say that I was in labor for 18 hours(maybe more like a few),but I was there for a total of 18 hours before the baby came. The pitosin didn't work like I thought it would, I was expecting it to put me in labor right away, but no luck. I was fine though, just bored.
Anyway, Sullivan is doing great. He is almost 3 weeks old now. Time goes by so fast. Drezden has been adjusting well. She is away with grandma right now and Phil is in the UK away on business, so it is me and Sullivan right now. Although I have had someone with me almost every day since Phil has been gone.
I will post pictures of Sullivan in a different post!
