naked

natural, tired, undone, need waxing, ponytail, pooped on, loved.

button

look what baby jack jack got yesterday...


a belly button. yesterday morning i started to change his diaper, when i took off his jammies his cord was missing. scott found it on the changing table where he lost it during his early morning diaper change. lily is excited his "scab" fell off and ava was frightened he might be in pain.

due date

yesterday was baby jacks due date. i'm so happy he came to us early. here's one from yesterday in color where you can see his little angel kisses. {kiss}{kiss}{kiss}

one week

has it already been a week since baby jack jack arrived??? one week ago last night he came into our lives. please slow down, please slow down.... you are most likely my last little one. the week has been filed with events, errands, appointments... now i just want to take it slow and eat up every moment by baby will be a newborn.

love him

yes she does. caught this during a quick photo session today. yes, he is going to be the most photographed baby on earth. i'm getting back in the swing of things and i just can't get enough of him... neither can his sisters. can't you just see how much she adores him.

ava face

ava use to make this same face as a newborn. first visit to the fire station today...notice the "fire station shirt" as the girls call it.

four days

i had a mini photo session with the little guy while daddy and the kids were at the gym. he was a dream client... slept the entire time, let me maneuver him in any position, and didn't even pee on me or my stuff. it's hard to tell here but he's got lily's stork bites on his head and neck and angel kisses on his forehead and eyes.

prince

my prince charming is home. we made it home late last night. we're now a family of five. the girls adore him. lily just want to love him all day and ava is concerned whenever he or i am not around. he's a fantastic sucker. he was sucking his thumb after birth and loves the pacifier but does not want to nurse. the first 12 hours he was just to sleepy now he just doesn't want to latch on. yesterday he got hungry... above is how he reacts to that. he tries and spits it right out. so i tried pumping to get things flowing and then he will latch on. of course no milk yet so i give him what i pumped in a syringe. hoping nutrition will be here soon.

Jack Maximus

It's a Boy!!!

Here's a quick shot of our new arrival: Baby Boy Jensen - born 9:18PM June 19th; 7lbs 14oz, 21 in long

happy father's day

lily is still fighting high fever spikes. she went to the dr. yesterday and looks like she has another uti. it's unusual for her to get fever from them so she's really been miserable. we went to lunch at the fire station today... the girls dressed for the occasion...

call it life insurance... we registered this week. if your expecting and want a $250 coupon code let me know.

pickles and ice cream

well more like a banana split. lily has been cooped up for a couple of days with a fever. she missed a diner date with her two friends and a fathers day lunch at summer camp... so last night after diner and bath we took her out for a little treat at the local ice cream shop. yummm!

urban ballerina

back from my blog break.... lily had recital photos today. i took her out front for a couple quick snaps...i love her stubby little legs...

last day of may

today will be a double post since i was working until midnight last night. i can't believe i almost did it...a whole month of posts with only a few late entries.

at lily's preschool graduation each child walked across the stage to get their diploma and the teacher asked what they wanted to be when they grow up. lily said "a photographer."

so i found these shots by lily from ava's second birthday....

a quick post...

because i am so behind with work. it's difficult trying to get everything done on scott's days off and still do things as a family. but its' almost time to close up shop so back to work i go...

did you hear maggie is a big sister....here's one at our first meeting when she was only 2.5 months old. and another taken last month...

it's getting there...
