Another Breed of Child

Where did Laney come from?  Anyone...anyone? 

She keeps us smiling everyday.

Really Bad Day

Poor Josh.  My day wasn't too bad besides being bummed about something all day.  But Josh had the worst day ever.  I don't get it either...Tuesdays are usually great days.

1.  Started off with a really crappy business meeting that wasn't what Josh thought it would be.  Josh was really looking forward to it, so I felt really bad. :(

2. Out of 6 client files chosen for a review, 3 of them are Josh's.  Basically he is being interrogated all week long to make sure the files were thorough enough.

3. Josh lost his keys somewhere on the Bart on his way home.

4. Upon arriving at the parking lot of the Bart station, Josh's car had a flat tire!

5.  After rushing home to make it to his soft ball game, their team lost.  At least he got to pitch!  He loved that part.

I am so sorry that you had a bad day Joshy.  Just so you know, me and the girls and your "dashingly handsome son" love you so much and think the world of you.  Tomorrow will be a better day for sure. :)

Model C

I will admit I take about 10 times more the pictures I used to since Crew was born.  I can't help it, I probably need to go to Photographers anonymous.  I even told my sister today that I think up new pictures I could take just to write a blog about it.  It is insane.

Sometimes Crew will mimic me/us now.  We are still working on smiling.  It takes a lot of acting like a weirdo, and my cheeks usually hurt after, but he has cracked a little smile here and there.  I have a feeling any day now he will be a pro.

Hopefully soon, I will be able to post about our little SMILING happy baby boy.

Three times the silliness

One more kid added to the mix multiplied all of the emotions in our girls.  

Luckily with the "emotional" emotions, also came the silliness and laughter.  These pictures were so goofy...I don't know how in the world Crew kept a straight face the whole time!  :)

Honey Bees...

My neighbor below is moving.  She told me once that her nephew Noah who lives with them said that he can hear humming in his room at night, and that she thought she heard it too.

Since furniture has been moved in his room, a discovery was made.  They have honey coming out of his light socket.  That is right HONEY...

I am just guessing, but wouldn't you think that means there are bees in the wall.  Probably not just a few, but more like THOUSANDS of bees in the wall - which is also part of our wall since we are in an apartment.

If we all die of bee stings sometime soon, I have documentation that it is the fault of my apartment complex.

Crew's Blessing Weekend: Day 3

Park Day

What better thing to do with a beautiful day in California?

Crew's Blessing Weekend: Day 2

The actual day of the blessing

It started off a little crazy.  

We planned on leaving for church 30 minutes early to get seats for all of our family that was visiting and coming that day.  It was a good thing too because the battery was dead on our car.  

We couldn't even get our car in neutral...so we had to attach cables to more cables in order to jump the car.  But we made it and still got seats thanks to Jake and Andrea. :)

Crew was a little angel and didn't cry at all which was good since Josh warned me that he might only receive a name if he screamed the whole time. :) 

Josh was able to give him a beautiful blessing.

We also finally have a few pictures of our family of five!  Thanks Debbie. :)

We brought together Josh's family and my entire family and ate some good food with great company.

I guess I was busy because this was the only picture I took the whole time!
