Brothers

My amazing and talented sister-in-law, Hannah, took some newborn pictures of Mason. Despite both of the boys being extremely difficult she captured some beautiful images. All the ones with the bad lighting are my attempts at photography. I'll leave it to the professional next time!

  

 

 

Family of Four

I can't believe Mason is already two months old and as far as this blog is concerned he doesn't even exist. Since Brady was almost a week late I was sure Mason would follow in his footsteps and my doctor assured me my hypothesis would likely be correct. At my last appointment I scheduled my induction for Friday the 17th, a few days shy of my May 20th due date. In true second child fashion I waited until Thursday (the day before the induction) to get everything done. I went to Target and Costco to get diapers, pacifiers, and everything else I could've picked up the 9 months prior. All morning the contractions were terrible and while I shopping I had to constantly stop and clutch onto the cart or shelf or Brady or whatever I could grab to get through them without making too much of a scene. After putting Brady down for a nap I downloaded a contraction timer app and within an hour they had gone from 8 to 3 minutes apart. Around 2:30 I called Christian to come home from work. Cindy and Cassie helped with Brady and Christian drove me to the hospital. I checked into El Camino Hospital around 3:30pm and just a few hours later Mr. Mason made his grand appearance.

 Going home! The volunteer insisted that Mason had to be inside his car seat and I had to carry it. At that point it was whatever would get us out faster.   

Easter!

This is the first holiday Brady kinda got it...kinda. He didn't know who the Easter Bunny was or come running down the stairs Easter morning to see if there was a basket with his name on it, but he was full of excitement when we handed him his basket of goodies. During the Easter egg hunt he loved filling his basket with eggs. However, once he discovered there was candy inside the plastic shells, the hunt quickly ended and the candy eating began.
