We got a new wagon today!   Trace loved it!  Here he is climbing up onto the tongue of the wagon. I guess he didn’t notice the door. ;-)

Oops! In he goes! Ha ha. This was very funny, he happened to fall right when i snapped the picture!  But no tears. He was glad to be in.

This turned into a new playpen. He sat on one side, then moved to the other, then back again, opened the storage area and closed it several times and opened the door, got out, then opened the door got in (repeat 10 times).

And then there were two!

Now that we are a family of four, things are a bit different. Here are some of the things we have learned in the past couple weeks!

Kendra&Mom

1. Strategically plan all activities when you leave the house. Kendra’s bag, Trace’s bag, car seats, diapers, wipes, etc.

2. Don’t forget to pack the extra stroller!

3. Do you remember that puzzle where you have to figure out how to get the three people on the boat and across the river and there must be an adult with each child every time the you go across and no child can be left behind.  Its kind of like that! ;-)  Probably gets more complicated when he have 3 kids!

4. Don’t change the baby on your bed… Even if it is the middle of the night otherwise you get to wash all the sheets in the morning.

5. Plan on buying diapers and wipes every week for the rest of your life!

6. When you look at the clock and realize it is naptime.  Its sometimes just about like Christmas morning! ;-)

7. Big brother immediately becomes “The Giant” when there is a new chic in town.

8.  Don’t forget you have a pet that needs walked, played with, fed, and patted on the head too! 

9. Laundry is twice a day instead of twice a week.
