A Day of Halloween Spirit

What a fun day we had as a family! I am very excited for the Holidays this year since it is the first year that Jaxon really "gets" it. We started the day with our usual breakfast at Paradise in Safety Harbor and then headed out to the pumpkin patch. The weather was nice, there was even a cool breeze to help get us in the spirit. Jaxon had so much fun at the pumpkin patch! We told him that if he could lift the pumpkin then he could take it home and we also let him pick one out for Jillian. Included in the festivities were a hay maze, face painting and a hay ride. I was thrilled when Jaxon went on the hay ride with Nana!! We spent the rest of the afternoon decorating and carving out the pumpkins and topped it off by making and decorating some Coco Crispies Haunted Houses. Jaxon had more sugar today than in his entire 2 1/2 years of life and was loving it (; I am looking forward to when Jillian will be able to interact with us as well, you didn't get to see her much but she was there in the background soaking it all in.
Hope you enjoy, the pictures are not very good because I had to use my phone to take them but I still wanted to share them with you!

Hello everyone, as all of you know our Baby Jillian arrived over two weeks ago and she stole all of our hearts within the first few minutes of her arrival. Although she was over 2 lbs bigger than Jaxon at birth, she seemed, and still seems so incredibly tiny. Jaxon, bless his heart, is doing so well with her. I am the one who struggles daily with the thought of him not feeling like he is number one in our life any longer. But he has truly adjusted like a champ. All of my nightmares of him picking her up by the foot and dragging her across the living room floor have banished along with visions of him poking her eyes out and shoving quarters down her throat. Jaxon is very gentle with her, he always gives her her kisses on her head and never touches her face. I am looking forward to the day that she first laughs because I am sure that Jaxon will be the cause of it!
Life at home is a bit more chaotic, to say the least. I am trying to adjust to keeping two happy instead of just one. She still sleeps much of the day and so I am a bit nervous for the upcoming weeks. So far she is easier at night (if you can believe that) than during the day. We have only had a few late night stints, or wait..I mean "I" have only had a few late night stints (; Jason of course is very helpful and always devoted to helping me out but I am on night shift and so far have been quite lucky!
Until next time...
