2 weeks in...

Wow! I can't believe Tessa is 2 weeks old already! Time is flying by for sure! So far, we seem to be extremely blessed with a content and calm baby girl. Sometimes you hear of mothers-to-be that worry about how they'll love their newest addition as much as they love their existing children. I have never had that fear myself but it just amazes me how in such little time, you can love one little being so much and how soon you forget what life was like before her arrival. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family!

Here are some recent pictures. This one is from our outing last Friday to the doctor's office. Tessa weighed 8lb 9oz at this appointment so she's definitely growing as she is supposed to!


Over the weekend, we had visits from Uncle Dan, Aunt Pam, and Aunt Beth. Uncle Dan had to hold all three of the "babies" in the household during his visit...






Gabe and Kendra are still the same ornery kids that rarely wear a complete outfit (generally shorts/pants are missing from the outfit)...

Tessa is sprawled out here on the fleece blanket Aunt Beth made for her.

And here she is all dressed up to go to her first weenie roast / hayride.

And this was her picture on Monday lying on the quilt Grandma Ochs made her.
