With life becoming really busy over the last couple years I have been mainly relying on posting a yearly summary of pictures so that when I do print out the blog for Austin's book, that I at least have some things in there for him to look at!
On March 5th, we added to our little family and Austin instantly became a BIG brother! Courtney Marie was such a tiny little thing and nothing like an 8 pounder to make your toddler grow up really fast. He was very welcoming and curious and a little stressed, understandably. His life has changed quite a bit really quickly. He has grown to love her and is becoming more aware that she is now a "playmate'!
