Busy, Busy, Busy!

Life with two is definitely busy! Thankfully, when DJ is at work, I have had the help of my mom to take care of Dutch and Lane. Of course, aside from the feedings, Lane is super easy - sleeps, eats, poops, sleeps, eats, poops...you get the idea! Dutch is another story. He is into everything these days and has lots of energy! I think I am ready for bed most nights before he is!

We had a friend of ours from high school come to take pictures of the kids and we got some really cute shots! Check them out below!

Catch up to Lane's arrival...



Well, I have obviously not been posting much lately due to construction (which we are FINALLY back in our house) and our new addition to the family! It has been a busy three months with Christmas, getting the house finished, baby showers & finally the arrival of our daughter, Lane Elizabeth Doherty.

We are so thrilled to be back in our house and have all of this new, much-needed space. We are coming in on the home stretch with just a few little things to finish here and there. Dutch is adjusting well to his new BIG BOY bed and we are all enjoying being able to sit together comfortably in one room. We have had lots of movie nights as a family and are looking forward to being able to entertain with friends once our backyard is complete.

We are also thrilled to announce the birth of our daughter, Lane Elizabeth Doherty, on March 4th at 8:08am. She weighed 7 lbs, 10 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. We have had our one week check up and the doctor said she looks great! She lost a little weight in the hospital (which is very normal) and now weighs 7 lbs 1 oz.

Dutch is being an awesome big brother. He loves holding her and helping out mommy & daddy. It is so cute to see him with her - he is very good about listening and being very gentle with her. We are so excited to be a family of four!!!
