All About Elsie

This week (and probably many more weeks to come) revolved around Elsie.  I forgot how all encompassing having a newborn is and I feel like I have done nothing else since her birth but feed her, change her, and focus on keeping her happy and alive.  She really is a joy and we love her so much, but life has been all about her since she joined our family.

For the kid's part, they have been very helpful and understanding of the situation.  Every morning both kids ask to hold her and I have to convince them that they still need to get ready and go to school.  Merrick probably asks to hold her more but Carrigan always asks me to take her picture when she is holding her.  Merrick is into pictures too but he likes to be the one to take videos and pictures of Elsie.  This week he took a picture of her with one of her teddy bears, "beary", and put it as the wallpaper on "his" phone.  It warms my hearts the way that they love her.  I hope that never changes.
