Update and a good recipe

Leah is 3 weeks old, it feels like she has been around much longer than that.
It is cold and snowy outside and we don't really leave the house.
Our Christmas tree is up and online xmas shopping has begun. Kmart's buy one get one half off sale helped me get a good chunk of the kids stuff done!

Mike and his girls...

Little Cali is so funny, she is talking so well and says the cutest things!

Leah is mellow, she is already up to 10 pounds! We have seen a few good smiles but I can never capture them with my camera...

The best helper, Sadie will hold Leah forever.

Cali likes to try to hold and pick Leah up, she also likes to try to feed Leah...

Early Saturday morning I ran out with some girlfriends to do some xmas shopping and left Mike with the kids... he called with a screaming baby in the background, and kids yelling, telling me Cali is throwing up.... so all day Saturday this is what we did... I hope the others don't get it.

Perfect baby!
