The boy's vacation

Where were my boys while I was lounging in the hospital you ask?

Living it up at Aunt Mak and Uncle Dave's casa. With a finale trip to Grandpa's house (Grandma was being Mary Poppins in Egland taking care of another baby who needed her).

Check it out. No wonder they didn't want to come home. Good thing we had a cute sister to entice them with.

You can call her J Lo


On June 2, at 1:45 p.m. Jane Lois Wren joined us weighing in at 7 lbs 12 oz. and is 20 inches long.

I am totally in love and think she is the most perfect little thing since my other two were this little. More pictures later (s well as the boy's reaction) For now we are busy watching her sleep...



and petting her soft head...



and fighting over who gets to hold her...



and drawing her welcome pictures...



and ransacking the toy boxes for things she might enjoy playing with...


and listening to her squeak like a mouse when she yawns!

Overalls

My boys have recently been obsessed with the children's TV show about two bunny siblings Max and Ruby (I sincerely can't figure out why they love it and I have some issues with it, but that is another post for another time...) They watch the episodes we DVR so much that they can pretty much quote them by now. Sam always opts to be Ruby who, although she is a girl, she is the oldest and gets to tell Max what to do. Thomas just wants Sam to notice him, and is willing to be whoever Sam tells him to be, so he is always Max. Sam has recently been concerned that we don't have a pair of overalls (Max's outfit) to put Thomas into to really get him into character (Thomas has to dress the part, but Sam doesnt, thank goodness...). I have given a lot of vague promises about looking for some next time we are at the store, but hoped he would let it go. This morning he took matters into his own hands (which I should have expected) and made a pair for Thomas, complete with stripes and his name. What do you think? :-)
