I am taking advantage of Conrad sleeping. Our computer has been not working and Chad fixed sit. Yipee. I am adding a few pictures to update you on the family. Madalyn has even shorter hair, I am no longer blond, Conrad is growing and changing so much, and Chad hmmmm, lets see. Oh yes he is still a wonderful husband that has not changed!!!!!

My beautiful girl!!!!

You just can't get cuter than that!!!!



He has found himself in the mirror..... He smiles at himself.

Don't you wish you could know what they are thinking.

One of my favorite pictures.

Not very many pictures of mommy and her baby boy. I am usually behind the camera.

Here are two pic to show how big he is getting.

He loves bath time!!!!

More of the past

You are going to need to read the previous post to really understand this one. So please bare with me and realize that my brain is only functioning at half of its capability. Its scary but I think going back to work along along with the lack of sleep has affected my brain function.

These are before and after pics of my hair getting cut. The last pic is Daddy's girls with their hair short.

Going back in time

These are in random order just to warn you. This is a picture of Conrad(on the right) with some good friends of ours little girl, Olivia. This was taken while we were in Missouri. They were born 3 weeks apart. Doesn't it make you tired just looking at it? Or is it just me, the sleep deprived mother of a beautiful little boy.

This was on our way to missouri. If you look closely Conrad has a mohawk with the little bit of hair that he has. I just couldn't resist.

While we were in missouri our good friend Rhonda had the pleasure of cutting Madalyn and my hair. Between the two of us we had 22 inches cut off. Madalyn had 8.5 inches and I had 14 inches cut off. This is the first time in over 20 years that I have had short hair. And I love it. So does Madalyn. These 2 pics are the before and after of Madalyn.

This one of my favorite pics. I don't think I have to explain why.

This was taken while we were in missouri. This is my favorite pic so far.

These 3 pictures were taken today. I would explain more but the little guy is hungry and 

crying for mommy.  I just wanted to add a few pics for you to see.

This one is so sweet. I was talking to him and he was smiling and talking back. Those moments are so precious.

JUST A SKINNER FAMILY UDPATE

HERE ARE SOME OF THE LATEST PICTURES OF CONRAD FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

SLEEPY TIME ON DADDY.

MY AUNT AMY IS TELLING ME HOW CUTE I AM!

I JUST LOVE BATH TIME... DRIP DRIP DRIP.

DADDY AND I ARE SNOOZING AND CATCHING SOME Z'S AGAIN.

PUT EM' UP...

ON GUARD AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN SLEEPING

JUST CHILLIN' OUT SAYING WASSUP TO THE WORLD.

From the beginning

I am now taking the time to sit down and start from the beginning.
This is minutes after Conrad made his way into the world. The nurse commented on how clean he came out. This is before his very first bath. Right after Daddy cut his cord.


This is Conrad getting his measurements. Mommy loved the fact that his head measured 14 inches!!!



He is a big 20 1/2 inches long! See the black mark on the blanket???



"WHY CAN'T I JUST SLEEP!!!!!"



"AHHHH THEY FINALLY BROUGHT ME TO MY MOMMY"
They had to keep Conrad in the nursery because his oxygen levels kept dropping. They finally brought him to me at 7:15 pm.



Here is the proud Grandma holding her grandson. My mom was there the entire time i was in the hospital. She only left to go home and sleep. I am thankful for my Mom. She has been a blessing and a BIG help since he was born. Thanks to her I have gotten extra sleep.



Here is the very proud big sister holding her little brother. She is such a big help. She loves her little brother soooooo much.



Big Sister got a special wrist band as well as baby brother. So gentle and sweet.



Proud Pappy!!!!!


Ahhh sleeping peacefully in Grandma's arms.


Does this one really need an explanation?


Here we are to today... He just got a bath, and he did not cry the whole time :)
