Sorry for the lack of pictures. In case you haven't heard, we have a few things going on here at the homestead.
We've now been proud parents of TWO children for a little over a week. So far, it hasn't been quite as tough as I remember, but I guess I know all of the little shortcuts learned dealing with Mackenzie when she was first born. But really, how difficult can a baby be when she sleeps 18-20 hours a day? Basically, put a bottle in her mouth every 3-4 hours and change a diaper either before or after the bottle (or any other time you hear something fill it). Piece of cake.
[I'm sure this will all be really funny to read in about 2 months when I'm trying to peel my bloodshot eyes open at 1:30 in the morning while I'm wearing a path in our carpet trying to get Delaney to go back to sleep.]
Mackenzie has been surprisingly good with Delaney so far. She seems to really like her and there really doesn't seem to be a bit of jealousy on her part. I am pretty sure that she understands that Delaney definitely IS staying and that she is part of the family. She really likes to help us take care of Delaney, usually by picking up Delaney's pacifier with her grubby little hands that have been God-knows-where and trying to put it in her mouth. Also, when she cries, Mazkenzie gets the Macaulay Culkin face from Home Alone, says "Naney, Naney," and then runs to her bed. Hilarious to watch.
I'll see what I can do about pictures as soon as I can...

It sounds like it’s pretty smooth sailing at your house with Mackenzie and Delaney. I know you expected it to be much more hectic. I also have two children under the age of two. Maybe you’d like for me to drop them off some weekend so you and Emily will have more of a challenge.
