one week old
WOW how time has flown by! Tucker is already one week old!!!- He is awake for about 15 min. a day sleeping is his favorite past time
- He is a champ at eating, and is already back up to his birth weight of 6.15 lbs.
- His belly button has fallen off
- He is patiently enduring the endless poking and prodding of his curious sister
- He makes you smile every time you look at him
Heres to a great first week of life!
Christmas
At its most basic level, the Christmas story is about a family.
Ever since that first Christmas night when Mary and Joseph welcomed baby Jesus into the world and began their family life together, Christmas always has and always will be about families.

A busy couple of days
Our days and nights have just become a whole lot busier. Our lives have truly been blessed with the new arrival of little Tucker McKean. He has brought us so much JOY we can not imagine a more perfect gift. Here are some of the things we love so much about him.
We love his "Big" little feet and are learning to appretiate the difficulty that comes with changing a baby boys diaper.
His big sister Finley loves to hold him and give him kisses. She calls him "my baby" seeing them together melts my heart.
But most of all we love the sense of completeness that he brings to our family. We love you little guy...Tuesday, December 11, 2007

Christmas Cheer and Traditions
Today we made a great attempt to bring some Christmas Cheer to our home for the holidays. We started with the annual tradition of picking out the "perfect tree" and this is how it went...
...Unfortunately there was nothing, cheerful or perfect about this wonderful Christmas tradition. I actually told her, "Stop screaming, you're ruining Christmas!!!" I'll admit it was not one of my best moments.
I thought things would smooth over once we got the tree home and loaded it with beautiful sparkly ornaments. I quickly realized what an impossible task it will be to keep the tree from getting destroyed. I told her nicely over a dozen times I am sure of it, to please leave the ornaments alone!
After the 12th time I lost some of the niceness and changed my plea to a command, DON'T TOUCH!!! Again, not one of my better moments. Tell me honestly though is there anything easy about getting through to a teething 18 month old.
I think Fin sat still for about 1 minute the whole day while she "Happily" ate a candy cane.
So far our home is BRIMMING with CHRISTMAS CHEER! Wishing you and your family a holiday season filled with love!!! ( keyword wishing)!
