If it weren't for photobooth, I'd have very few pics with my kids.

It was just me and the little guy today. We hung out, we ran some errands and went shopping. He was an angel. Today he is 4 weeks old. I cannot believe how much he has already changed and grown... how well he holds his head up; how he seems to win at every staring contest.

It's been a while, huh? Yes. I know. I've been busy figuring out how to juggle a toddler and a newborn, healing from my c-section, and trying to sleep whenever possible.
