Sibs

 Sunday morning, everyone all ready for church, the car warming up, shoes on, everyone headed to the door, and what do we do?  Have an impromptu photo shoot.  Andrew was just so cute with Peter, so I snapped a picture...

 Then Joshua wanted a turn...

 Then Caitlin wanted a turn...

Then things got a little silly with the boys...   and inevitably we were late for Sacrament meeting.  For once I didn't get on anyone's case about it.

Valentines

Rather than celebrate Valentines day with the traditional dinner date with just the two of us, Mike and I decided to celebrate with the whole family.  We had  a fun decorated dinner and we all exchanged valentines.  I loved sharing the evening with all these people that I love.  I am especially grateful for a wonderful husband who values the whole family and is so respectful and loyal.  The kids had a lot of fun with our little party and  I am sure it will become a new tradition.

Grandma Jan

Grandma Jan is such an amazing gal.  Dad and Jan came to visit for a day to spend some time with all of us, and especially the baby.  I think Jan really enjoyed herself.  She held onto Peter the entire time she was here, only relinquishing her hold when he was hungry.  It is so wonderful to know that my kids are so loved by their grandparents.  It makes a world of difference for them as they grow to have such great family support and love.  Janet has been an amazing binding force for our whole Jaussi family and I am so very grateful God sent her to my Dad.  We all love her so much!

Peter

He has started to smile and coo at all of us.  He has a beautiful personality starting to shine out of that little body.  We enjoy every moment with our little one.

Snuggles

 Having a new baby in the house has done wonderful things for our affection levels.  Not only do we all love to snuggle with Peter, but now we love to snuggle with each other all the more so no one gets jealous of Peter.  One Sunday morning all six of us ended up in the bed.  I am so grateful Mike talked me into getting a California King!

 Daddy is warm and cozy.

Caitlin loves to snuggle Peter.  I caught her loving on him the other day and had to grab the camera.  He seems to love her attention even when I feel she is being overbearing.  These two are creating a special bond.
