Family Update

Chrissy and I thank God for the strength that he has given us. I have taken the week off to be with Chrissy. My prayer is that we can use this time together to transition ourselves and Ella. We are adjusting to the lack of sleep. The biggest transition of all is getting accustomed to the baby boy changing of diapers. We didn't realize just how easy changing a little girl is compared to little boys!
Hudson is nursing extremely well.
He is truly a blessing to us. His little cry melts our hearts.

Ella's love is growing for her little brother. Her crying spells have ended... she now just wants to kiss Hudson all the time. Her energy seems to have jetted upwards. She is into everything. Her new favorite word is "HELLO". She grabs our cell phones and says.. Hello! Hello! Hello!

I have been trying to keep her busy to give Chrissy some needed rest. We have been taking daddy and daughter shopping trips. We seem to visit Target and Walmart the most.

Chrissy and I were just saying tonight.... "We can't imagine life without OUR Little Ella! "

We love the pictures! It looks like y'all are doing great! I'm glad Ella is adjusting better now :) She will be a great big sister! Y'all have two beautiful children! Wish we were there to visit. Let us know when you come to Atlanta! Congrats, again!

I love all of the updates and pictures with your new family! Changing boys can be quite tricky, can't it? :) We always had to keep a washcloth handy so we didn't get sprayed at each diaper change. You will have to let us know the tricks of adjusting from one child to two...in every sense of the word! You will be the experts! He is just so precious and I know you are proud of your beautiful family. We hope to see you soon!

Baby Hudson is so precious! Ella is so beautiful and I'm so glad that she is adjusting. I know that she will get more used to him everyday and they will be so close in time. Your pictures are all so good. I hope we can come for a visit when Chrissy is feeling up to it. I want to get some pics of the boys together. We love you all.
