Mike's paternity leave has finally kicked in, and I'm pretty sure all four of us are loving life! Mike has never enjoyed work more, it is nice for me to have help, Joseph is able to get out of the house and do fun activities more often, and Andrew gets more attention because there are more people to hold him and more parents to share. Love it! We may consider having a baby every year so we can get this extra paternity leave added to Mike's time off! So far Mike and Joseph have gone swimming about everyday- which Joseph absolutely loves, they have gone to story time at the Library, the Children's Museum, walks to the pond, Home Depot's children's workshop, Monkey Buziness, indoor playground at the mall and the Merry Go Round, Red Mango way too many times without me, the park, and Oberweis for ice cream. Joseph and I were able to go to two birthday parties, and run some errands. Life is a little more fun with dad than mom! Here are some picture updates!
Andrew at 8 weeks! Yeah, looking the other way! But that's because I turned him around, he is still looking out the window. Cute little guy!
Joseph likes to set up and pose for his own photo shoots now that I've started doing them with Andrew.
Precious little guy.
Ready to go to church.
Boys, boys, boys!

We love having Dad home and are so excited to have him home for two more weeks! We sure are being spoiled right now. We love it!
Oh my cute! I'm glad my brother is working hard at being a good dad, because heaven knows you work hard and being an excellent mom :)I'm glad you guys get to have some good family time together!
