Proud Big Brother and Nana and Papa

O man has been asking to hold his new baby sister ever since June arrived last week. He keeps telling everyone he's stronger than his baby sister.

By the way...

I have these fun snapshots of the cousins this summer while they were all together. This was a couple of weeks ago while there were still only eight cousins(before the arrival of June and Clementine).

From left to right, cousins 1 thru 8. Numbers 1,3 &5 are siblings. Numbers 2&6 are ours. numbers 4&8 are siblings and the little guy in positions number 7 was at this time still an only child.

Clementine Danielle is here!

I am now the proud Mama of TWO girls. Feeling so blessed!

Clem's cousin June (left) was born just nine days earlier on July 21st.We had our third baby at 12:43 pm July 30th. She weighed 7pounds 13oz. and was 18 1/4inches long. We are so overwhelmed with joy.

Those scrubs are Reid's color don't you think? Maybe he just keeps getting handsomer the more babies I have with him:)

G Lou's 2nd Birthday Party

sweet summer

"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world."

-- Ada Louise Huxtable

More Beach

This morning when we got to the beach there was a long tidal pool which was perfect for the kids to play in. Later in the day O man and Parker went "dune diving". Hope no extreme conservationists are reading.

We're at the beach!

"making mud"

G says "cheese"-she's covered in sand

I love this face O man is making. he's having so much fun!

I feel like I'm living someone else's life! We are at the beach for a week. We got here Friday night, and we are staying until Saturday unless Margaret and Jonathon get sick of us and send us home:) The kids are having a blast!
