I suppose you could say we are back in "the swing of things." We've got a carpool schedule working, homework being done, meals being planned (sometimes), meetings and activities, etc. The biggest excitement around here is preparing for the arrival of my
brother and his family. We are so, so thrilled that they have decided to leave the cloudy cocoon of England to brave the eternal sunshine of Arizona. Even more wonderful, they have found a house just one mile from ours. Just imagine the fun!!! They will arrive in approximately 123 hours, but who is counting?
I have recently received a request to post more pictures of baby boy. We have decided to call him Spud on the blog. These pictures are a couple weeks old now, but he is still just as cute, if not cuter. At his two month check up he weighed in at 12 lbs 12 oz which put him in the 60th percentile, his height was in the 90th, tall like daddy. He has recently discovered that he has hands and it is so cute to watch him clasp them together.

Lou loves bedtime, that is when her creativity really comes alive. We are never sure what we will find when we go in to check on her later, but this week she left a shrine of stuffed animals and toys outside her door.
She also made herself a "curtained" bed.
While Lou may wish she was at school all day, we love to have her home in the afternoon - especially Spud. Dress-ups and princess stories, what more could a little boy ask for?
Having the two older girls in school takes me back to the days when I had a toddler and baby at home. Berry has discovered a whole new world of exploration with free reign of the house (and her sisters' bedroom). She is in that adorable stage when she wants to do just what I do. I clean up, she cleans up, I do crunches, she does crunches, I take a shower, she thinks that it is the more, the merrier!

And in case you were wondering if she still loves to wear her swim suits every day...

He is such a cutie. I am excited for you to have family so close! That will be fun. Also looking forward to seeing you guys.
I started laughing at the spud name and continued laughing all the way through your post! Thanks for the entertainment!
Are you sure you didn't mean Stud? He is so cute. I love the thought of Berry imitating your doing crunches. So cute. Maybe I should imitate you too. I'm so excited for you to Tim and Shar there! and super stoked that you'll be coming here in a month!!!
