Wow, what a rough road we have been traveling with our two kids. I never, ever expected things to be as challenging as they have been. With that being said I think we are making a turn toward the better with Peyton. At 2 months old, she is growing well and getting a sweet personality. She smiles now and will talk/coo to you. Her screaming fits have passed and she just cries when a normal baby would. We also have her sleeping in her crib upstairs now. 
Monday night once both kids were in bed and Josh and I were sitting on the couch together, we laughed at how peaceful it felt. We were so relaxed because we didn't have to tiptoe around Peyton. I will say though that a master down home has its challenges when you have a newborn sleeping on the second floor. I think I ran up stairs 6 times last night to check on her. I am looking forward to the night when she sleeps through it!
Jenna is doing well but now faces new challenges. She has moved up at daycare to the Pre-2 classroom and is actually one of the bigger kids in the classroom. She really enjoys the days she goes to school as she gets to play with all of her friends. However, we have now entered the "Terrible Two's" phase as she is struggling through trying to have tantrums. Pair that with being jealous over her baby sister getting attention and that results in our challenges. When Peyton cries, Jenna cries. She also has digressed with her potty training so we are putting her in diapers again whenever she refuses to go on the potty and only wants to potty in her pull-up. My heart goes out to her that she doesn't get all of the attention she wants, but unfortunately that is life.
Recently, we spent the weekend at my folks house since my grandparents were visiting from Oregon and my Uncle Jim was also there one night. It was so nice getting to spend time with them. It amazes me that my grandparents still travel the way that they do. Grandma Esther was also a big help with Peyton as she helped feed Peyton and cuddle her through fussy phases.
