This picutre cracks me up. I found Lincoln playing in his room with this headband on. He found it in the bathroom and new exactly what to do with it. It continues to be very hot here everyday. We try to get out in the morning becuse it gets too hot by lunchtime. Lincoln is doing great at swimming lessons. He has no problem going under water now and he has made a couple little friends there. Chloe is a big girl. She was in the 97th percentile for her height at her last doctors appointment. For those of you who have forgotten, that means that only 3 percent of baby girls her age are taller than her. Hope everyone is good. Miss you!

We just enjoyed tacos for lunch and it is time to get Lincoln down for a nap. We are a little off schedule today. Last night Justin and I got the chance to get out for a little time just the two of us. We went out for dinner and then I kicked his butt at mini golf! I warned him.

The kids are doing good. I have to work tonight so Justin is on his own. He does a great job. Love....

Both babies are finally asleep at the same time tonight. Lincoln has been having trouble at bedtime lately. We are not sure why, but he just doesn't want to go to bed at his normal time anymore. Tonight we went down to visit Grandpa and Grandma and that wore him out pretty good. Here is a video of Chloe. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Everyone......again it has been too long.




Many things have been happening. We have finally moved out of the park and into our apartment in North San Antonio. I hate moving, but I feel like we are finally getting settled in down here. It has been almost a year here and I can't believe it.



It is starting to get super hot outside. High 90's and low 100's every day. Thank goodness for pools or we wouldn't spend any time outside. As you can see from the picture the kids are growing like weeds. Today I took Chloe in for her 3 month pictures....a little late. That seems to happen with the second child, meaning they get everything the first child did but when you can eventually get to it:)

This picture cracks me up. I had to put both kids in fron of Baby Einstien just so I could make dinner. It still works for Lincoln.....YES!

It has been an interesting journey for me to find a job down here, but I think I have finally found some place that I like, and most importantly, that is busy. We are looking forward to a visit from Grandpa Don next week. It will be nice to have family visiting again.





Lincoln has started swimming lessons. He goes every Tuesday night. He is learning a lot. It is amazing what those little guys/gals can do.





Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the onset of summer. I sure miss everyone and I am looking forward to a visit up to MN when ever we can make it work. Love

As you can see, Chloe is sleeping peacefully in this picture. Her brother, however, does not like to sleep at all any more! We are not sure exactly why, but bedtime has become quite the challenge with Lincoln. His usual 7:30 pm bedtime has now pushed itself past 9, and he doesn't go down with out a fight....there is a lot of crying, rocking in the rocking chair, and some times, laying in the bed. And then there is the occasional "I am going to be wide awake even though it is 2am....and don't kid yourself mom, I am not going to sleep until 5!" So needless to say, it has been a tough transition for him since we brought the new baby home.

Other than that, things have been good. We haven't been getting outside as much as usual because of the rain and cold weather. That is tough, but Grandpa and Grandma Parker are visiting and that keeps the kiddos pretty occupied.

Chloe goes to the doctor on Tuesday, so that will be fun to see how much she has grown. She seems to change every day, and she is quickly growing out of her clothes.

Well we are home and settled back in. Justin has been working hard to get laundry done and get groceries etc. I am feeling pretty good. I try to take a couple naps during the day and that way I don't need Justin's help during the night and he can get since he does so much during the day. I am very lucky to have him; he is very good to me.

Lincoln is having a little trouble adjusting. I can't pick him up too much, or chase after him, so I am limited to what I can do with him. I am anxious to get back to normal so that I can spend more time with him.

He gets more and more interested in Chloe every day. Chloe got her shot today at the doctor and when she started crying it made Lincoln cry. I guess he was feeling bad for his little sister.

I will try to keep updated pictures for everyone to see as these to munchkins grow fast!

Baby Chloe Grace is Here!

Our little girl was born at 12:27pm. The actual pushing only lasted about 20 minutes tops. Molly did a fantastic job! Here are some pics of the newest Vaupel.
