so, for an update

well, baby kuyper has been with us a week now. he is so darling. really. some babies are kinda ugly when they first come out, but he was always cute. he kinda looked like a monkey at first, and still does on occasion, but a cute one. he makes the cutest faces. he is soooo tiny! i forgot how tiny newborns are! mostly, he just eats and sleeps, with some pooping mixed in. however, the past couple of nights have been hard, especially last night, as he did not want to sleep - only eat. and last time with knox i could just sleep when he decided to sleep, but things are a lot different the second go-round. we are still adjusting to life with 2 children. i am learning that knox's schedule wasn't just for knox's sake, but for my own, as well. so, i am having to re-learn how to live without a schedule, or at least figure out this new schedule. i really have not figured out in the least how this is going to work. but, i assume it will. i see millions of people who have more than one child, and somehow they do it, so somehow i will, too. i think last night kuyper mainly had his day & night a bit confused, b/c he slept all day yesterday while he was being passed around at thanksgiving lunch. so, to compensate, today i will be making sure that kuyper stays awake for extended periods of time during the day so that he'll be sleepy tonight. he's asleep now, and should be waking up soon for a feeding. knox is still down for his morning nap, thus i have 2 seconds to type this update. please pray for us all. i hope you all are well, too.

Claire!
I am so glad your family is doing well! It is good to know you have a blog too, so I can keep up with what is going on with ya'll! I am so new at this blog thing that I haven't figured out all of the gadgets. I am having fun learning, though! We are in Natchez now, and I was hoping we could come see you and your new little Kuyper. I will call you tomorrow! Hope you get some rest tonight!
