Life with Carlei

Life in the Hansen home has been pretty busy and fun the last month. Whitney loves Carlei so much and so do her parents! She is such a joy to have in our home. My mom was here when Carlei was born and then she left a few days later. I was home by myself during the day for a whole week. (Justin works during the day.) I was kinda nervous but it went really well. It was not as hard as I thought just because Carlei would sleep most of the day. Then my parents came back and the boys went hiking and the girls just had fun! We took the kids to the zoo and to visit Grandma and Grandpa Jensen. We made some home-made raspberry jam! So YUMMY!! After my parents left, we took the kids to the park and let Whitney play at the water park. Carlei loved being outside and Whitney had a blast at the park! Then one weekend we went to the Madison County Fair. Whitney has been watching the movie Spirit. She loves it. Then while we were at the fair we saw a buck-skin horse that looks just like Spirit! She loved it. Whitney is saying looks of words and loves her sister so much. When ever we go somewhere I always ask Whitney if we should leave Carlei there and she always says no. When I do try and leave her some where, Whitney starts crying until we go and get her. She just loves her sister. Well here are some pictures of our crazy 1st month of having Carlei in our lives!
