1.9 Moving On

.One night I was awoken by a strange noise, I crept downstairs, to find out what it was. I peeked out the window and I saw this....... this..... thing. I didn't want to know what it was, and I didn't want to stick around for it to notice me, so I ran back upstairs and hid under the covers.

The next morning was a big day, it was Judah's birthday. We didn't really know anyone so we were just gonna have a quite one at home. I got Olivia up first. I fed her, changed her night  diaper, and took her downstairs.

Lisa watched Olivia while I went back upstairs.

When I got to the room, Judah had already grown up. He was such a cutie. I took him downstairs to show Lisa how handsome he had gotten. 

Lisa watched the kids, as I looked for a house in the country.

That night Lisa, Conor, the kids and I moved out of the city, to a bigger better place.

1.8 The Inevitable

The days went on and on. Conor went back to work, Lisa helped out when she could., and my life was full of  changing diapers, kissing boo boos, and lots and lots of kisses. My baby's were my world. 

When she was left to her own devices, Olivia would always play with her xylophone. It was her favorite thing in the world.

We always made sure to give Judah attention as well.

One morning after the baby's were feed and fussed with, we all set down to talk about the inevitable, we needed a bigger house.

1.7 Day By Day

Olivia took to learning to use the potty like a pro. Just a couple of weeks. Walking and talking took a little longer, what with Judah needing our attention as well. With all the craziness going on, I found very little to no time to sleep or clean.

Thank goodness for Lisa, or me and Conor would have starved

One night Lisa brought home a little xlyphone for Olivia, and she just fell in love with it.

Between leaning how to walk and talk Olivia would bang on the keys, giggling as she did so. She seemed like a natural.

1.6 Birthdays

The months went on, everyone took a part in keeping up the house and playing and feeding Olivia. One night as I was putting her to bed, it happened. I started having sharp pains in my stomach. I knew I was in labor, but with everyone out of the house, and I not wanting to leave Olivia, I decided to have the baby, right here, right now.

I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy. I decided to call him Judah. This was when I realized we have no place to put him.

I called Conor and asked if he could run by the store and pick up an extra crib on his way home from work.

As I started to put Olivia in a crib, something happened.

I had forgotten it was Olivia's birthday with all the excitement of Judah.

1.5 Nibbles

The weekend after Olivia was born we all went to the park. We all needed a day away from the house, we were starting to go a little crazy. We packed up a picnic and took a taxi. Olivia loved playing in the flowers and listening to the birds sing. Lisa loves playing with her. I spent the day catching up on my fishing while Conor found an old chess table in the gazebo. As the sun was setting it started to rain, so we left for home.

By the time we arrived home, the kittens were asleep. Echo spent the day teaching them how to hunt. She found the cutest little hedgehog, I sent Conor out right away to pick up a cage and supplies.

We named him Nibbles, because he liked to bite our fingers.

A couple of months later as I got up to feed Olivia, I realized that Conor and I's night home from the hospital, had been a little more eventful than we thought.

1.4 The Gift

The evening Olivia came home, Lisa set Conor and Kathryn down to have a talk. She tried to get the words out but she didn't know how to start.

Lisa: So I wanted to sit you both down to let you know... You all know I've been at my job for a while and... I got a raise.
Conor and Kathryn both cheered.
Kathryn: Congrats hun
Conor: Whoooooo I'm happy for you
Lisa: Thank you both, I really appreciate it, all the extra hours I work.

Lisa: I also wanted to say, that since I got a raise, that I also got you guys a little something

Kathryn had tears in her eyes.

Lisa: Go upstairs

As Kathryn and Conor enter the room, Kathryn broke down, instead of seeing Olivia on the bottom bunk with  pillows all around her, there was a beautiful crib. Kathryn was wonderfully speechless.

Kathryn was so happy she was crying. Conor pulled a trembling Kathryn to the bed, to try to calm her down.

Conor held her in his arms till she fell asleep.

All the meanwhile Echo was downstairs giving birth to two beautiful kittens.
