Getting ready to go to sleep

We have been home a few days from the hospital with our little Sarah. She is adorable and we are enjoying her very much. I didn't think I could possibly find it in my heart to love another child as much as I love Benjamin, but it is amazing to me how fast I have fallen in love with this little girl. Speaking of Benjamin, he is adjusting very well to Sarah. He wants her with or near him all the time. When she is asleep in another room, he wants to go check on her and give her kisses. He also tells her to get up and come in the room where he is. It is very sweet.

Welcome, Sarah

Wide-eyed and ready to face the day.

Making Cupcakes

Benjamin loves to watch Jon and Kate Plus 8, so Geoff and I have set up our DVR to record the new episodes. A couple days ago, he asked me to watch "Johnny Kate." We watched the episode in which the sextuplets were celebrating their 4th birthday. They celebrated by going to a hands-on bakery to decorate cupcakes. I think we have now watched that episode 4 times in the last 2 days. Benjamin gets so excited about the little kids decorating cupcakes and wants to do what they are doing. I thought this was a great opportunity for a bribe. We were going to have our picture taken for one last family shot before Sarah gets here and I knew it would be pulling teeth to get Benjamin to cooperate. I told him that if he was a good boy and let us take a family picture, then we would make cupcakes. Well, I am not sure if the photo shoot was a complete success, but he had the best time making and decorating cupcakes.
