Uncle Pete and Jodi Visit!

Jodi LOVES babies! ... she's in the right house!


Story time with Uncle Pete and Jodi.
And now Uncle Pete teaching me BAD habits!

Always goofing around that Uncle Pete!
But he pretends to have a soft side for his sweet Jodi. :)
Check out what Aunt Annie gave me!


How sweet I am!
All hands on deck to help with a supplemental feeding


Sweet Anna again ... oh ... and Mommy getting after Pete unneccessarily ... oops.

Sweet sleeping angels

Boy did we have a FUN weekend!

First Week of Life on the 'Outside'

Caleb meets sister Addison for the first time!



Grandma and Anna having conversation about shopping and such!

Aerobics with Grandpa ... helping Mommy turn those nights into days ... keep that girl awake!




Sister interaction ... fascinating!


What a good big brother. Such a sweet helper.
Addison at first doctor appointment ... doesn't seem to mind. :)
Grandpa watching over his 'little plum', Anna. Sister Addison is his 'peach'.
Welp, the gang's all here now.




Sweet smelling sisters after their first bath

Yep, life is changing around here! Ready to head home now to the ranch. So grateful for such dear friends and family to help us through this transition time! Oh ... and here are some new tricks big brother is learning thanks to Grandma and Grandpa's tutelage. This is the bean bag flop ...
... and our favorite new word: TRACTOR!!!

Announcing Anna Marie and Addison Faith!

Voila! ... Here's Baby Anna ... first to greet us ... with a full head of hair under that little white hat!
Mommy finally gets to meet her baby girl! Anna Marie ... ... soon joined by Addison Faith! Addison gets to rest while Anna is taken upstairs to the NICU
Our sweet little Anna ... many people are praying for you.
Oh what a heart break to see you this way, little one.
Surgery is over ... now it's time for rest.
Sweet sleeping Addison
Sisters reunited on day five.
Safe on Daddy's chest. No more worries now.
Anna wants to know Daddy too.
Here they are, our sweet sleeping angels and newest family additions!

Killin' Time as We Wait for the Babies

Helping Dad around the house ...

... and in the yard ...

Grandma is just so much fun to play with!


Mommy is just about to burst! Holy COW, Mommy ... we might have to put you out to pasture this week.

Giving kisses ...

I sure do love my Bapas!!!

Skuutin Along to the Itsy Bitsy Spider

Check it out, Uncle Pete ... I'm starting to master my Skuut! Waiting for you to drop by and give me the next lesson.



Mommy and Grandma think this is really amazing. I can 'flip through the channels' on my Fridge DJ (thanks Aunt Patti!) to skip right to my favorite song of late: "Itsy Bitsy Spider." It's not so funny for Mommy and Grandma after having to sing and dance for me the 43rd-ish time, however. :)

Oh, and look what Aunt Annie made for my sisters, WOWSER! Mommy says we'll get to meet them on Monday! Crazy, crazy! Thanks Aunt Annie. And Aunt Ann bought them the cutest pink and white striped jumpers. I sure hope they don't steal the show from Yours Truly! :)

Making Tortillas with Grandpa

Oh boy ... Grandpa added another option to Grandma's playdoh games for me this morning! He's teaching me how to make tortillas ... fun, fun, fun!




OK, now for Grandpa's tortilla press ...

First we have to roll the dough in a ball ...
Now we center the ball in the press ... has to be exact cuz I'm working with Grandpa, ya know :)!


Yeah, that was pretty cool!
