The Recital

Since the recital started at 1:30p on Saturday(17th) and we had just gotten home from the hospital at 12:30p, mommy and Claire missed it. :(

But here are some beautiful pictures that Pappa took during the practice. There are plenty of good ones, so I just picked a few. :)

One week ...

and everything had just gone by so quickly! Claire had her first doctor's visit on Tuesday. Dr. Owens pronounced her healthy and beautiful.(of course!) She has integrated into the family well. Both Bella and Bubba have been sweet to her, and haven't shown any jealousy or animosity.

My MIL, Mamaw, was here up until yesterday and made it so much easier to take care of our new little addition. She is a gem, helping with the older kids when I am busy with Claire and happily cuddling Claire when I need to hang with my other babies, not to mention the from-scratch pancakes and other wonderful culinary gifts. =P

Other than that, I am just exhausted!!!! I mean, I knew what was going to happen since I have been through this twice before, but man oh man! I still feel as if I have been hit by a mack truck, and then dragged forty miles or so ... very sore and very tired.

But she's so cute! and so loveable! I think we will keep her.

Here she is napping with Daddy.

Having her hearing test done.

Newborn pants?! I think not.

More napping with Daddy.

And the details ...

Here is another picture for your viewing pleasure.

Claire was born at 11:49am, weighing 8lbs even and is 20" long. She is absolutely fabulous, having slept so much and not really getting cranky at all.

The Bluebonnets, part deux

Here are some beautiful shots that Pappa took of the babies in the bluebonnets. :)

My little model.

Is he belting out a tune, or giving a sermon?

"I'm going to kiss you!"

"No, don't kiss me!"

"Ha ha! I kissed you!"

My little model again ...

Helping Daddy

Well, it was a tight squeeze to hook up the dryer vent hose to the wall, so Hubby enlisted some help ...

Just some cute pictures of Bubba flipping through one of his favorite board books.

A little late, but still a lot a love!

April 30th, my little man turned 20 months, and here it is over a week later that I am blogging it. =P

OH WELL! There is just too much new stuff going on these days, just with Bubba. So I am keeping his 20 month post simple! Here is a pictorial review of the 20months my big Bubba has been alive. :) The first picture is of the day he was born, and each successive picture is one month later, ending with Bubba at 20 months, having just woken up. *sniff* FYI ... don't ever look at newborn pics of a previous child while pregnant, it's way too emotional. I am still sniffling and wiping tears away!
