Hello there. I apologize for the lack of posting but we have been a little busy at the Shifley household. I hope you and yours are doing well. We are doing not too shabby. A little more sleep would be nice but I don't think that is included in the 2 child plan. Kyle was not happy at first being a big brother - as you can see below - but he has warmed up to his little sister quite nicely and hopefully they will grow up to be the bestest of buddies.
I will persevere, I will keep moving forward, I will be the stream.
So what have I learned in the almost 3 weeks that Hayden has been around? Sometimes and almost. With one child, Mrs. Shife and I sometimes get to do things like paint nude murals of famous Eastern European war heroes. But with two children we almost get to do things like karaoke our favorite Nelly song. Come on, who doesn't love seeing two middle-aged white people with no rhythm get down to "Hot in Herre." It is definitely a lifestyle adjustment taking care of 2 kids, and we are doing our best.
Well that is all for now. Have a great weekend. And remember never make eye contact while eating a banana.
P.S. Thank you so much for your kind words and warm wishes in my previous update.
I will persevere, I will keep moving forward, I will be the stream.
What glory! I want to smooch that baby up to my face. And then read Kyle a book.
ReplyDeleteLove to all of you...M
Oh I am in heaven! Pics of Kyle and
ReplyDeleteHayden are joys to see. =:] I am so happy for you and the Mrs!
Btw... waiting for that video of you two doing "Hot In Here". Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh, she is so beautiful! And I'm glad to see that your lack of sleep has not affected your writing and sense of humor. I've missed your posts.
ReplyDeleteHang in there Shife!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand the lack of posting recently. I also would have understood if you signed off "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year". I do love the pictures though. You're a lucky man.
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute kiddo!
ReplyDeleteAlso the picture of big brother screaming... classic.
Beautiful. The pics were worth waiting for. I can see Hayden will be a head-turner later on. I'm glad Kyle is warming to the baby... it's quite an adjustment for the little guy.
ReplyDeleteBTW... I quite like your accolades!
she's a beauty! kyle better watch his back, she might just steal everyone's heart.
ReplyDeleteLove that pic of Kyle screaming. "Khaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!"
ReplyDeleteReally progressive parents would continue with those murals. I know you'll make the right choice.
Rock on my man for it does it much easier.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS! So much cuteness.
ReplyDeleteIt won't be easy. But it's well worth it. That picture encompasses the entire challenge of child #2 coming along.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sure Kyle will be a great big brother, after he recovers from the trauma.
Precious girl!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! And the sleep thing gets better but I know it doesn't help to know this right now. You have such a beautiful family!
