Mommys in Charge.

Welcome back to all of you who have missed checking in on the Ipock household.

There have been a few changes since you last saw us, so let me refresh those of you who've been away. Since Leah's 2nd Birthday (the last post) Daddy built a quarter of a house, Mommy got pregnant, had an emergency C Section, and a baby named Luke Marshall, who then spent two weeks in the NICU recovering from a bit of rough start. Well, our little Luke is six months old and Leah is now just over 3, and we are getting our hands back around our world, so I wanted to take the opportunity to get you all looped back into our daily activities of fun and adventure.

Our family and friends are all such big parts of who Sefton and I have become, both as individuals and as a couple that we never want to take for granted sharing both our children with you, and you all with our children. Thank you for your comments, your love and support, and just your curiosity.

My goal is to update this blog at least every few weeks with lots of pictures and videos if I learn how to do them. :)

To give you a little indication of where we are coming from the picture above is literally the first time Sefton has held both kids at the same time. He loved every moment of his first "free" weekend with us. Not having the building of a room hanging over his head, we are really enjoying every moment together. I am taking on the primary responsibility of keeping you all up to date as Sefton is responsible for almost everything we have going on, including homework, and I feel it's my turn to just step up and take on a new role. (He has become an amazing cook at our house and his spaghetti makes mine look like tomato water.) It is only fair.

Just to give you a family update, Leah is going through a mommy stage, and has an insatiable desire to be touching me, or hanging on me, or loving on me. I'm not sure if it's her age, or maybe she's come to realize that we can't give Luke back. (Not that she is not incredibly kind to him, singing and tickling, it is so fantastic to watch.) Luke on the other hand is great coming on six months next week, at 17 lbs. He is currently suffering from a respiratory illness, but we expect him back at school by Thursday. Sefton is loving every minute of being a day Daddy while Luke is out sick, spending his days cooking dinner, feeding, changing and loving on little Luke all by himself.

Thank you for visiting, and until the next post, we love you all.
