The friends that have gone before us by adding a second child to the family have openly admitted, “It’s a freakin’ circus.” Well, we’ve had our first experience with the Baldwin Traveling Roadshow this past month once we added Alison to the family and got home from the hospital. <\/p>\n

This is certainly a season of our lives that is temporary, but can be the most challenging on us emotionally and physically. It can also be the most rewarding.<\/p>\n

While Julie and I have to work on our communication and teamwork when juggling the kids, we have also seen how Reed has responded very well to his little sister. He is generally compliant to us when she needs our attention more than he does. Challenges and rewards are the name of the game for all parents and families… you just hope you get more of the latter to keep you going.<\/p>\n
