So, Anna, where are the pictures of the new baby? Well, they're sitting on my computer waiting to be placed on the site. And I plan to get them up here, too. Of course, I still have thank you cards to write and about 50 boxes left to unpack all before returning to work in just two short weeks. Okay, I know, no excuses.

Anyway, I guess it's time for a family update. Kirsten and Jacob are doing really well. Kirsten thinks that Jacob is her baby. She wants to constantly be holding him, touching him, kissing him, feeding him, etc. She's not only jealous of the time that Jacob spends with us, but also of the time that we spend with Jacob. It's really sweet. She loves him so much. Her teachers at daycare have heard all about Jacob.

Kirsten had her first case of strep throat this weekend. Thursday night she was running a really high fever, so I took her to the dr. Friday morning. Her tonsils were so big that they were touching. Ick. But after 3 days of antibiotics, you'd never even know that she'd been sick.

Jacob is eating like crazy, I think you can actually see him growing. Almost like one of those time-lapse photography things. He goes for his next checkup on Tuesday. I wouldn't be surprised if he had passed 10 lbs and grown an entire inch since the last visit. I'll make sure to update you when we get back from the visit.
