I looked like this....
And now I look like this!
I can't believe my little man is 8 weeks old today!
Time sure flies when you are having fun!
And I'm loving EVERY minute of it!

Life Happens....
I know I have been missing from the blogging world lately....I honestly can't really think of much to blog about. I've been so busy yet I don't have much to say! *Sorry!* So I guess I will just give everyone an update!
I am 7 weeks into being a mommy of two! I LOVE it!! I feel as if Nate (or Monkey as my mom calls him) has been here forever! Everyday he amazes me with something new that he has learned to do! I do have to admit that he is growing WAY too fast for me! He apparently received a memo to grow like a weed but I must have missed it! He is now officially out of Newborn pants. They are about an inch and a half too short! And we have seemed to bypass most 0-3 months pjs and went straight to 3 months! I can't believe it! He is such a skinny little thing but is SO long! He brings so much joy into all of our lives!
Miss Cady is doing SO well as a big sister! She loves her 'Bubba' So much! She even gave him that nickname! LOL She started back into Gymnastics shortly before Nathan was born so that consumes every Friday Night. But other than that she is just the same little spitfire she always has been! I laugh a million times a day at the things she comes up with! She is so funny! Her latest thing is she wants to know when Friderday is. I asked her if she was talking about Friday or Saturday but she insists that she is talking about Friderday! So, I've been told that I need to find a calendar with that day on it so I can show her when it it .....hmm....either I'm going to make one or I'm going to have to explain to a 3 year old that there is no such day! :-) I can hear her now telling me that there really is a day called that and that I am wrong....Oh the joys of having a 3 year old little girl who thinks she is ALWAYS right! :-)
As for me...well, I am So proud of myself for adjusting so well to becoming a mommy of two! Technically during the day I am a mommy to three because my niece Miss Emma Paige spends the day with us while her mom and dad are at work, So I guess you can say I am already training myself to become a mommy of three someday! I am getting a little ahead of myself in saying three, but I figure if I'm doing so well with two why not add another one to the mix! LOL. I did recently start a new venture in my life though. I became an Avon Representative! I was getting a little bored in the evenings, I know, It's hard to believe a mom can get bored! And I love Avon products so I decided to go ahead and start selling it! So, on top of my mommy and wife duties I now have hairbow making duties (CadyMayDesigns) and Avon duties! Call me crazy, but I'm at a point in my life right now where I am so happy!
(Just a little plug: If you are looking for an Avon Representative check out my website! http://www.youravon.com/shightree You can order from anywhere in the US on my website and have it shipped directly to you!)
There really is no update on Leif...lol...he is just the same wonderful husband and daddy! His health is getting increasingly better! I am worried about his now because the weather is getting colder and once you get pneumonia your body is never really the same again, but so far so good! Pray for us throughout the cold Michigan weather that we can keep him healthy! He is working a lot, but I am great full everyday that he has a job to support us!
Oh yeah, one last thing, I'm starting to read the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Has anyone read this before? I'd like to know your thoughts on it. I'm not real sure when I will find time to read it, but it's a book I've been wanting to read for a while so I finally bought it tonight!
Well, I hear the baby calling me for a late night snack!
Until next time......

What I've learned in Three Weeks......
It's been three weeks since the most handsome little man in the world has graced us with his presence! Here are some things that I have learned:
*All of the things I thought I had forgotten about taking care of a newborn immediately come back as soon as you see their little face!
*The fear that I had of becoming a mom of two was really silly! I'm actually LOVING it and I have to say, I think I'm pretty good at it!
*No matter how you tuck the little guy down under, he WILL figure out a way to pee out of the side or the top of his diaper at least once a day!
*Speaking of tucking, I have a lot to learn before I figure out the proper tucking technique! :-)
*Boys are opposite of little girls....lol....I know I already knew this, but really, having Nathan is a totally different experience than we had with Cady!
*Boys can get yeast infections.....who knew.......
*Everything you did with your first child does not always apply with the second! All babies are different, just because it worked with the first doesn't mean it will this time.
*Getting back on my medicine was the smartest thing I have done since he was born! A happy momma makes for a happy family! :-)
I think that's it for now.
Until next time!

I smell Apple Cider and Doughnuts!!
This past Sunday Leif and I took the kids to Gull Meadow Farms to enjoy a family afternoon at the pumpkin patch! I LOVE fall weather (even though it was an insane 80 degrees in Michigan!) and all the activities associated with it and I secretly LOVE the pumpkin patch more than children do! :-) Lol But I also LOVE seeing Cady's face while we pick apples and look for the perfect pumpkin to color! (We haven't started carving yet....I'm not sure I can handle that with a 3 year old yet!) So, here are a few pictures from our wonderful family afternoon! I hope everyone else is enjoying Fall and what it has to bring!

Do I really have two!?
We have almost made it to the two week mark! The last week and a half have been some of the busiest days I have ever experienced! Appointments almost every day, a three year old who needs as much attention as possible and a newborn who needs even more! Lets not forget my poor hubby who has been working late hours only to come home to a wife who is tired and ready for bed! So, I wanted to let everyone in the blogging world know that I am still alive! Just SUPER busy enjoying my new life as a momma of 2! Here are some pictures of the last few days for your viewing pleasure!
