The more things change...
By Kevin

Angelina, 2 days old, cradled by her big sis

Happy Birthday, Angelina! On Monday night we brought home the newest member of the family. I may be a little biased but I think she's one of the three most adorable babies ever. :) So far she mostly eats and sleeps but she's very aware of everything going on around her. Julie's been amazing, taking care of her day and night. She's going to be home with Angie for four months before returning to work and I don't know which of them is luckier.

before after

The before picture was taken on April 8th and the after picture was this evening. I cut things a bit too close with the nursery remodel but had the bulk of the room done in time for baby. Over the last few days I did the rest of the molding and moved in the closet organizer and bookshelves. We've added the kids' bookshelves, reading light, and pillows into Angie's room so that all three of them can get story time together before bed. Between their book loving parents and their grade school teacher grandma, the kids have lots of opportunities to get new books. They now have a pair of 7' shelf units for their library and are at two-thirds capacity with about fifteen linear feet of books!

monkeying around sparring at practice

Meanwhile, we've tried to keep change to a minimum for Alex and Ana and make sure they get lots of parent time. Today Ana came along to Alex's karate practice and played with me at the adjacent park. After sparring was over, Alex joined us and we played frisbee for a while before heading home. It won't be long before all five of us are at the park together.

    Congratulations, you guys! I figured you were off having the baby, since you hadn't posted. Go Tauruses! :)

    Sher: Thanks!

    Felisa: Go Tauruses indeed - she decided to show up on the 27th so you two have something in common now. (:
