Trains!

So today at Thanksgiving Point they had a model train show.  We went because Dex is totally obsessed with trains.  He absolutely loved it we walked in there and I thought he head was going to fly off his body because he was looking around at all the different trains so fast.  It was so cute.  They had all sorts of trains from lego trains to Thomas the tank engine to big ones that even blew smoke as they sped by on their tracks.  Dex was in heaven
One thing we discovered about model train culture is there are a lot of societal outliers that love trains.  We actually sat next to one when we were resting on some chairs.  The first five minutes was filled will starring from her at Rich through coke bottle glasses.  She finally started to talk to Rich and it was all about trains and when the next show was gonna happen.  The whole time just staring...hard  It was really weird and awkward  but will be a memory we cherish. ha!
Here is a cute video of Dex if you turn up the volume you can here him make the train noise as it speeds by.

Work

Well the fantasy has ended, maternity leave is over and I'm back to work.  It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to stay up all night.  That is the part that kills me.  Otherwise I really like my job... most nights.
Poor Rich is home with the kids all alone which is a daunting task with a 2 year old that still gets up 2-3 times a night and newborn who does the same.  Needless to say the Rasmussens are very sleep deprived but loving our new family.  Life is very good but very busy.
Dex is starting to really like Finley he'll go up and hold her hand or touch her head.  Its really cute.  Finley seems to really like him too she always looking his way and turns her head towards him when he talks.  It's really cute I hope they are friends as they grow up.  Although I'm sure there will be some sort of beating at least once.

Update

Well it's been crazy with two kids.  I don't know how people do it alone.  I think if Rich and I weren't home together one of us would be going crazy right now.  Dex is a great big brother.  He hasn't really been that jealous and he's always trying to snuggle Fin, its really cute but scary because his snuggles usually are quite hard.  Fin is still a great baby she loves to sleep at night and is up during the day.  She is very alert and so sweet it's fun having a girl.  I'm excited to see what her personality is going to be like.  Dex is very into routine and structure she seems pretty laid back although last night she started freaking out about 9pm because she wanted to be snuggled in her chair in her room so she could go to bed.  Yeah I'm sleeping in the rocking chair we have in her room, partly because I fall asleep before she does so I don't get up to put her in bed and partly because I love the all night snuggles.  She's great though usually only get up twice a night.  That is better than Dex some nights, weird.  Other than that things are going really good just getting into the rhythm of 2 babinos. 
Christmas was good we didn't do Santa this year because we didn't think Dex would get it so it was pretty ordinary day except for the great food we cooked which was fun.  Rich and I cooked for the first time.  Usually its Rich and Ry but I got in there this year. Fun fun fun.
