Babies and Rodents!

Happy New Year everyone! :) I hope everyone has had a great start to 2010.

We have been spending the weekend with my sister Lara Jane and her family. It has been fun to play Wii with them and the kids have really enjoyed each other. They are headed home today and we will miss having them here.

Kenley is just over 3 weeks old and we gave her a bath last night for the first time. She lost her umbilical cord last week, but we have just now found the time to give her a relaxing bath. :) She really enjoyed it.

We also got another addition to our family. We bought an indoor pet for Jayden. She really LOVES animals we decided that we wanted to get her a small pet that she can love on and play with. So, we did our research and found a pet that is one of the easiest to train. It is basically just like a small dog. They learn their names, you can train them to do tricks and you can train them to use a litter box. We got a RAT!!! That is right...a rodent! I have been very pleasantly surprised at how much she is a snuggler! Her name is Tilly and she is so sweet. That is weird to call a rat sweet, but hey...you can't deny that Tilly is special. :) Are we crazy? Probably...but we sure do love our life!
