Our beautiful children!

Klaira is out catching the "snow-rain" in her bug net. She had a great time!

When I came home from school, Klaira had been sleeping in my sweats that she found, but just in the one leg! Cute!

Jeffery is smiling now! It is so cute and so fun to see! He has a little giggle that is tough to get out, but it is adorable.

I love this shirt because I think he looks a little like the bear on it!

This is one of his two month pictures. He has a funny face in all of them so this is one of the best! I can't believe he is already two months old and 13 pounds!

We blessed Jeffery the first Sunday in March. It was a very special day and we had a lot of family come to support us!

Grandma Barrow made the blanket for the blessing, and it turned out great! Thanks!

I love sweater vests!

Our tiny Jeffery is getting so big so fast. This is his one month picture! He got chubby really fast! He came two and a half weeks early on January 9th, but was really healthy. I guess he just wanted to come out to see us. We got to the hospital at 7:40 with painful, pretty-close contractions, had the epidural at about 8:45, and he arrived at 9:20. It went well! I should have gotten to the hospital right after my water broke (so I've been told), but I had some things to get ready and explain at school for the substitute. It really did make me feel better about whoever was going to be teaching that day, because it wasn't quite ready for them for the week. So there I was timing my contractions and explaining my lesson plans. It was definitely an experience! Luckily it worked out!

He was born at 6 pounds 8 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. At two weeks, he was 7 pounds 10 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. At 5 weeks, he was 10 pounds 5 ounces and 20 1/2 inches. He is eating all of the time! He is so cute and we love to kiss him and look at him all of the time!

As we look at Klaira's infant pictures, they are looking a lot a like, of course without the hair. But their facial features are almost identical, which makes us so curious for how he will continue to change and grow! It is fun to have a baby around again!

I love this side profile of his hair!

Four generations!

Klaira loves to help and hold him. She is so good and having so much fun!

Klaira thought that Hank and Jeffery looked really cute together! You can see this is his not-so-chubby stage. It didn't last more that about 2 weeks or so!

Goofy!

Uncle Bruce's turn!

Ready to go home from the hospital at 24 hours old! His jacket was a little big.

Our growing family!

Blaine was very excited and I love seeing the two of them together!

About to pop

I don't actually remember how many weeks this is but my guess is about 36 weeks or so. But it was the last belly picture we took.

Heading to church at 30-something weeks!

Klaira in her Christmas dress. She loved it!

She wanted to take a belly picture like me and it turned out to be a really cute picture!

It's a brother!

Well here I am at 20 weeks!

And here I am at 24 weeks!

We carved our pumpkin for FHE last week. We all, especially Klaira had a great time. She had no problem getting messing, as you will see in the next pictures. Blaine was the artist and carver and Klaira and I took care of the insides!

I think it turned out pretty spooky looking, thanks dad!

These are some new pajamas that Grandma Anderson made. Klaira wanted some Halloween pants because she saw some at a store. So we asked Grandma if she could handle that and she made three pair of new pajamas. Two are Halloween and the other is just cute flowers. In this picture she is where the pants with black cats. The other pair have all colors of cats that are arching their back, and Klaira won't put them on because she thinks they are too big, but actually she thinks they are too scary, which I find quite funny! So we are working on the courage for those!

This is her little pile of hair from her very first haircut! She was very excited! It wasn't much of a haircut because she just need the very back evened out with the rest of her hair. But it was her first so it was momentous and she loved it!

Always helping!

Klaira loves playing with play dough so we do it often. Lately, she will randomly talk about mustaches or bring them up. One day she even told me that some day when she is older she will have a mustache. We had to talk about that for a minute. But she does draw them in some of her drawings of other people. So the other day she had to show us her pink mustache. For this picture we tried to show her how to look like she was thinking about something really intelligent! It is so hilarious I could barely take the picture I was laughing so hard!

Our snowmen.

Klaira loves puzzles. She does them almost every day (sometimes multiple time a day). She is getting pretty good. But we have a great time helping her learn! Thanks for the help dad!
