Kauffman kiddo craze increases by one!

We welcomed Jonathan Glen Kauffman to the family on April 14th, 2009 at 10:22 AM. Weighing in at 9 lbs 1 oz, 20 1/2 inches long and a healthy set of lungs! Jonathan was welcomed first by Daddy as Mommy anxiously awaited. He has been doing beautifuly, eating well, sleeping like a champ, and all other systems are a go and functioning well! Mommy is doing well after surgery, a little groggy and sick the first day but much better now that we are at home! Jason is doing great as well and is a very proud pappa of 3! Emma and Jude appear to be adjusting well, they love to hold "Baby Jonathan" and Emma loves to give him his bottle as she had said prior to him being born. Jude likes to run past every once and a while and shove the NUK in his mouth or pet him on the head. Both of them are amused by his frequent hiccups.

Ready to welcome kauffman kiddo #3!

April 14th, 2009 is the big day for Baby Boy Kauffman! Emma is so excited to meet her new brother that she is not taking a nap today! Jude is snoozing away, clueless that he will no longer be the "baby" of the family. Here are some pics of the kiddos on Mommy's "belly seat".

The Countdown!

6 days left! The new Kauffman Kiddo will be welcomed in the mix in just 6 days! Emma is quite exciting telling us that "my baby brother is coming soon!" She comes up to mommy's belly and gives it kisses and "hugs"her baby brother! Jude understands that there is a baby in mommy's belly, but I think that it is still a little perplexing to him that there will be a baby here soon. We have been cleaning and rearranging and getting things in order for the new baby to come...and it can't come soon enough! Mommy is hoping that baby boy wants to come sooner though!

More Winter Pictures

Just some more cute pics from this winter! The kids love having there pictures taken. Enjoy!

Catch-up time! Our Winter...

We had a relatively uneventful winter this year. Thanksgiving and Christmas with with family and a trip to Michigan with mommy and the kiddos. After returning from Michigan we made the "BIG MOVE"! Emma and Jude moved into a room together! WOW! This has been an ongoing trial and I think that they are finally getting it! They go to bed sleepy and tired and poof! it is like a switch flips and they are bouncing off the walls! There have been numerous sleepless afternoons which make for some cranky evenings but they are getting it slowly! Other than that everyone has been pretty healthy and everything is going well with mommy and daddy too!
