Catching Up ^^

Hello all! I know it's been forever, life has been moving so fast! Let me update you on our life!

Here is what my days are filled with now: taking care of our eight month old son, cleaning, picking up toys, laundry, dishes...repeat! That's right, we had our first baby on June 19th, 2012 (which was our two year anniversary!). It was such a gift for our anniversary! Malcolm Israel Olson was born at 6:25 am, 7 pounds, 19.5 inches long. We had a lovely home-birth with the assistance of a mid-wife. I wouldn't change anything about it! He was beautiful and perfect, ten fingers, ten toes, and a head full of dark brown hair (it's an ashy blonde now, though!). We thank God daily for our little boy even though he can be quite a handful sometimes! He babbles a lot saying, "dada, mama, baba, gaga...and many other un-typable words! 

Malcolm a few days old!
So, this also means I am a stay-at-home wife and mama! I left my job at Sherwin-Williams in May of last year. I loved the four years I was there, great job, but I love my job now more, and it's far more important! Lucas works as a goldsmith for a local jewelry store here in town and it's a wonderful job for him. He gets to use his trade he went to school for and works with some awesome people. A lot better atmosphere than the pawn shop he worked at previously! 

So, let's see if I can stay up to date better with this...cross your fingers!
Around 3 month old.
He's quiet distracted by the noise I am making!

All ready for bed in his army jumper!

Time for a walk in the cold winter night.
