Pictures of the newest addition

 This is when D saw him for the first time.  He wasn't all that impressed.  D talked about his tiny fingers and mouth and then wanted to go play.  He did ask a little later if his bracelet meant he belonged to us.  We will see how it goes when we get home.  We got some cute pictures of D checking him out though.

Gavin Sloan

Our new little guy has arrived. He was born last night around 7. Gavin weights 7 7 and is 20 & 1/2 inches long. We are all doing great. I will try to get pictures up soon.

Shower for baby #2

The sweet ladies at church were very nice to throw us a diaper shower a few weekends ago.  They worked really hard and it was very nice.  We played a couple of games and had a great time visiting with everyone.  We got lots of diapers and wipes which I know we use faster than we think.  I am just getting ready for this little guy to get here so I can see his face.  He will make his appearance on the 27th and we can't wait.  Thanks again ladies for all your work.

 Betty had everyone laughing all morning.  You  would not believe some of the things that come out of her mouth.

 Barbara is remeasuring her toilet paper.

 It was still too long.

 I made these little boxes of bath salts for hostess gifts.  It was very easy to do and turned out really nice.  Every color is a different scent and I hope that they enjoy them.



Almost a family of 4

 I just a matter of weeks this sweet baby will no longer be "the baby."  I am hoping that is goes smoothly.  I know that kid are adaptable, but I am still nervous that he is going to feel replaced.  I hope that when they get older that will get along and be friends.  I know that there will be bumps along the road, I am just hoping that I am a good enough momma that I can handle them.  I am going to have to be able to give myself a break sometimes and I am really bad at that.  I just want both of them to know that I love them and I would do anything to keep them safe.  I am very glad that I have the chance to stay home with them and I am hoping that I will get to spend a little bit of time with each of them one on one. I am very lucky that I have a husband who I know will help me in every way he can and I know that he will be great with D during this transition.  He is a great father and our boys will be blessed to have him as their dad.  

New Fish

We added a few new things to the fish tank and I took a few pictures of them.  I have learned a lot since we have set this thing up, for example, fish sleep.  These little fish we have wedge themselves into places in the rocks and stay there all night.  They come out again when the light come back on.  It has been very interesting to watch.  

This is a Green Spotted Mandarin.

 This is a sand sifting starfish.  He moves very fast across the sand and picks a place to bury himself.  I didn't know that he would move so fast.

 This is our Dori fish.  She is very small and so cute. 

 If you look really close you can see our Lawnmower bliney on the rocks.  He blends in very well so I put up more than one picture hoping that you would be able to find him in at least one of them.

 My husband is most excited about the coral.  This is what he has so far.  I don't know the names of most of them, but I will share pictures.

Here are a couple of pictures of the spot where Dori has chosen as her "bed."  It is a little plastic clip that hangs on the side of the tank that we use for certain kinds of food.  We think she is going to be really sad when she can't fit in there anymore.
