Hanging At Home

The boys and I have been hanging pretty close to home these past two weeks. I can't believe how fast the days go by. It's been a little too cool for our regular visits to the park, but the weather outlook is good so we hope to be back playing this week.

Every time I try to take a picture of Cash awake, he closes his eyes.

Snoozing...

More snoozing on Daddy

Cash, of course, spends a lot of his time sleeping. The rest of his time is spent on eating. The boy can really eat!

After two weeks at home with his new brother, I must say, Dane has been awesome! He's getting a bit less attention, but he is taking it very well. We are all adjusting pretty well. I hope life continues to go this smoothly. Cross your fingers...

One Week Down

Well, we made it through the first week at home. It actually went pretty well. Dane has slept through each night this week (funny how he waits until now to do that) and Cash wakes up about every 3 hours to eat. So Ross and I have been getting some sleep.

Dane has been adjusting better than we thought he would. Although he always wants me to hold him when Cash is in my arms.

We've been trying to keep Dane's schedule as normal as possible. So, we make time to get outside and play as much as we can.

Snuggly, cuddly Cash.

Ross and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on Thursday. He brought home these beautiful flowers and a great gift. We had a nice dinner at home with our new family of 4. Thanks Ross for 4 wonderful years together. I love you so much...

Big brother duties...Dane loves helping with Cash. And he loves to love him up with hugs and kisses. It's the sweetest thing.

Happy 2nd Birthday Dane-Bug!

It's so hard to believe that my baby is 2 already. It seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital having him. He is such an amazing, intelligent, loving, beautiful little boy. We have been so blessed by him and can't imagine life without him. Dane makes each day better than the day before. His smile alone, melts my heart. He's my best friend.

Here is the birthday boy!

Dane got a new scooter for his big day, from Mommy and Daddy. He loves it and knows how to "drive it." He says "Dane drive scooter."

My parents stopped by on their motorcycle. Dane thinks Grandpa's motorcycle is so cool. He says "Dane drive it." Of course.

More scooter fun.

"Dane. Cake." Enough said.

Introducing Cash Jordan Greenwald!

We went in Friday morning (August 29th) to be induced. The day went really well. I received my medication at around 9 am. At noon, I was dilated to 4. I asked for my epidural then and 40 minutes later, I was fully dilated and ready to push. Two pushes later, he was here.

Welcome to the world little buddy.

Cash weighed 6 lbs 15.2 oz and was measured 21 inches long.
(Dane was 6 lbs 15.6 oz and was 20 1/4 inches).

Much more to come...

Fun with Erin, Jeff and Celia!

Thursday evening Ross, Dane and myself joined our friends Jeff, Erin and Celia for some big fun! We met for dinner and cupcakes (Erin and Celia made special birthday cupcakes for Dane). After a nice dinner and dessert, we headed outside to the Elk River Amphitheater to hear the Teddy Bear Band. Such a fun night!!!

The kids did so good at dinner-Skooges...can we eat together every night?
Here they are digging into the good stuff. Yum.

Here are Erin and I in our matching concert outfits. Cute huh?! We totally planned what we were going to wear. Seriously.

Here is Dane grooving to the music. The band was great!


We thought this was such a funny picture-Dane clapping and eating fries!

Doing saults.

Mia and Dana met us for the music. Aren't they sweet?

Something was up with my camera, but this was such a cute shot. These two were worn out from all the food and dancing. We always have a great time hanging with the Skubic's, but this night was especially fun. We were going into the hospital the following morning and turning our family of 3 into one of 4. So, it was nice to be with our little boy and friends having fun. Thanks guys-for everything!
