Our baby boy is here! Well, he's been here for more than a week, but he is still a novelty to all of us, especially his sisters. Berry loves him and will excitedly say "baby, baby" whenever she sees him, then she pats his head and tummy and pokes his nose and gives him kisses. We are glad that she loves him so much and hope it continues. Curly and Lou always want to hold him and burp him.
Our wonderful neighbors and friends took care of the girls while we were in the hospital. Lainey's mom timed her arrival perfectly. Her ride from the airport brought her to the hospital just as we were checking out. True to her helpful nature, she anticipate needs and takes care of them,entertains the girls, keeps the house clean, feeds everyone and makes sure we are all getting some sleep. With four little people and three adults, we are still out-numbered and there are moments when it is a little crazy.
On to the pictures - There are a lot, so pace yourself.
