its been 2 weeks....







Well its been 2 weeks since we had Noah.. Things are crazy just like you would expect them to be with two. He is eating and sleeping well for me though. It does take me at least 45 minutes to leave the house, as soon as I put Noah in his car seat he needs a diaper change!

Jacob is doing well, he is loving the warm weather. Saturday he started soccer and he had a blast. He can't wait until next saturday to do it again. When we got home on Saturday it was about 85 degrees out and Jacob wanted to swim so we filled up his pool and he played for about 3 hours! We have been trying to get outside almost everyday! He just loves being outside.

Russ had his portfolio review on Thursday, He didn't get any full time job offers but he did get some offers for freelance work as well as some good contacts! His graduation is quickly approaching, I just know that God has something great in store for him :)

Well here are some pictures of my kiddies.....

Catch up.....









Okay everyone sorry I haven't posted in a while. But my baby boy is finally here. After being over a week late the doctor finally decided to induce me. Noah Joseph Maura came into the world on Thursday April 3, 2008 weighing 9 lbs. and measuring 20 inches! It was a quick labor for me. Once they broke my water, Noah came very quickly. Thank the Lord cause it was painful. But in the end I am glad that I decided to have a natural birth (without an epidural). I recovered so much quicker.

Anyway Jacob is loving his new baby brother and is always giving him kisses. He can't wait until Noah can play cars and trucks with him. Oh ya did I mention that Jacob picked out his baby brothers name. We really didn't mind cause Russ and I weren't sure what to name him anyway. Jacob was calling him Noah since I was about 7 months pregnant. We couldn't change the name after all that time. He just felt like a Noah.

Jacob is adjusting well, he is very helpful when he wants to be but he is also very independent. Which is a good thing right now. I feel like all I do is change and feed Noah! But it still feels great to have two!!

Russ loves having a new baby in the house too. He is doing so well juggling work and school and a growing family. Speaking of school, Russ is almost finished. As of today he has officially 4 weeks left! Wow I can't believe it will all be over in a few short weeks. Hopefully he will be getting a job within the next few weeks and then we can begin to make plans on where we will be living...I am very excited for that! Well I guess thats all for now. Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks.....
