The Kragtorps

My little baby is turning two!!! It is hard to believe, and yet absolutely wonderful. We are having so much fun getting to know the little person we named Rosalie, so I wanted to do a blog just for her.

I suppose it is the natural way of things, but I am still amazed and somewhat chagrined that it has been over a year since I last posted an update! I will try to rectify that to the best of my ability. Our girls are growing up fast (of course!) and we had the opportunity to make some wonderful memories this holiday season.

I just uploaded some pictures of Addy and Rosalie from this year. Enjoy!

Greetings!

It’s been a whirlwind of a year for us, and it is hard to believe the decade is really coming to a close. In the last year, our family has grown by one member, and in many ways our time is simply spent keeping up with the chaos that two lively children create.

Life in the Kragtorp household has been trucking along at the usual break-neck speed. Somehow Rosalie managed to turn 7months old, and Addy seems more like the 3-year old that she'll be in January.

Addy's obsession with food continues unabated. She helps make a lot of her favorite foods and is actually quite, well, helpful! Her stirring technique has been refined and rarely results in a spill. She is a pro at building a sandwich or filling up pita bread. And she's got the recipe for her morning cereal down pat - she'll often let me know if I've forgotten an ingredient!

Well, in true second-child fashion, I’m afraid I’ve been quite behind in writing a blog about Rosalie. Let it be understood that in many ways this is a direct result of the wonderful nature she has: she is so little trouble and so generally delightful that I’ve been having difficulty coming up with something to write without sounding too much like a Pollyanna! But she deserves a blog as much as her sister, so I will ask you to bear with me.
