The longest and shortest month of our life!

Well, what a month! It is best summed up in the title, but I will elaborate a little bit. This has been the LONGEST and SHORTEST month of our entire life!

We started Eden’s life with a house full of people, and 3 weeks later, the house seemed empty and void of noise. Samson loved having the extra people around, getting lots of extra love and attention, but when they were gone, he was left with a foreign object being carried around his kitchen, and her sitting in a bouncer on HIS floor space. He is slowly adjusting...








Eden was baptized at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Wilcox by her daddy on September 4th, and both sets of grandparents were able to be here. Her Godparents are Jerry and Sarah Diener, who are a wonderful addition to our family. Sarah is a friend of Al's from his home church.















Eden is one month old now, weighing in at 6# 3 oz & is 20 1/4" long. She currently has 4 articles of clothing that fit, three green and one pink. I know, I know, soon I’ll be boxing up the baby clothes and packing a lunch for kintergarden. But right now, that seems eons away, thank goodness.

A typical day with Eden starts at 0730 with her wanting breakfast. She stays up for half hour after eating and then sleeps till roughly 11:00 a.m. Then she’s up all day, eating every couple hours until evening, when she wants to eat all the time. She goes down about 10:30 p.m. and sleeps till 3:30 a.m., then the whole day starts over again! On occasion (this week specifically), she gets her nights and days mixed up and everybody seems tired all the time. Again, 'this too shall pass'.... (a mantra from my mother, for those of you who don't know her).

Last Friday was Al’s first day off with no family visiting, so we spent the day sleeping in (yes, she let us) and playing with Legos in the basement while eating popcorn. It was a grand day!



Papa Kenny thinks Eden has 'paddle' feet, so you can look below and either agree or disagree. We all agree that they are adorable and fun to play with.



Any way you look at it, she is a doll and we wouldn't send her back.
