Week one

I always want to capture the essence of a new born each time a baby comes along. We all know how fleeting those moments are. They are gone within a matter of weeks. I wish those moments could be bottled and kept for those times when that sweet, precious baby is two and throwing a massive tantrum, or six and telling you that you are the worst mom ever!, or nine when they tell you that you just do not understand them and never will! How I wish I could pull that bottle off of a shelf, go into my bedroom, shut the door and spend just a few minutes with that precious baby again.


I love the fat rolls on the back of a new born's "neck", if new borns had a neck.



Ahh baby feet. How i LOVE baby feet. I love to kiss them, rub them, tickle them, count those sweet itty bitty toes, rub the soft, soft skin across my cheek. I miss baby feet when they are gone.



Vinny is so exicted to have a little brother. When Tyler asked him at the hospital what he was most excited to teach his little brother as they grew up together, his response was, "How to get girls to kiss and marry him." Oh boy... yep. That's Vinny. That is exactly what I thought he would say. Hopefully Gunnar will be a good wing man.




Oh Grandma Claudia. How would we ever survive without you? It is always so sad when you have to go. Thank you so much for keeping us going during those tough first few days. I wish you could stay for about two months, but I am grateful for the time we do have with you. We love you so much!
