First Father's day as a family of 4

We have totally enjoyed having Claire home. It was a rough first few days because as you can see by the picture, she had Jaundice and had to be put under the lights. That was sure a bummer, because you are not able to hold them except for feeding so I really felt like I missed that bonding time. After that was resolved, we have been adjusting to having two kids, trying to give Dallin quality time which Andy has done wonderfully. I have had a lot of help from family and friends, so thank you to everyone for your help. Andy's last semester of school starts tonight, but the good news is he changed his classes so he only has tuesday/thurdsay night classes instead of M-Th. I am so excited that he will only be gone two nights a week! Yay! Claire has been a great baby so far. She is eating well and sleeping pretty good at night only waking up twice to eat. Its been so fun adding another little one to our family and I feel so blessed that she is healthy and so beautiful. She has the darkest skin, and dark hair which I totally was not expecting. Well off to go get some much needed rest while Big Brother Dallin is napping!

looks like you guys are adjusting to being a family of four. Claire is so cute. I have been there with the bili lights. They suck. But the little suitcase looks better then what they gave us. Have fun and I hope you see you guys soon.
