Oliver's moment of Fame!

For those of you who didn't get a chance to check kidsteals.com yesterday you're in luck! Oliver made his debut as a model, begrudingly, but a debut nonetheless. It was just Oliver and myself running errands when we entered babysteals to pick up our order. Their photographer happened to be in the store and asked if Oliver would mind modeling a hat. "Absolutely, he'd love it," I said. He hated it. Many of you may not know that Oliver is really shy in certain settings and apparently this was one of them. He participated quietly and shot me a couple of looks that may have questioned why I was the one chosen to be his mother. When it was over I questioned him and suggested it was fun right? He concurred with me (probably just to keep me quiet) and we moved on. Yesterday when he finally saw the pictures on the website, there was a whole new attitude about regarding the experience. When asked what he thought about the experience now he replied, "Good." Fabulous apparently this modeling experience that lasted all of about 8 minutes was all about me!!!! ARGHHHH. What did I learn you ask? Nothing!

Worlds Worst Blogger

I believe that it was a year ago almost to the day that Mary Zollinger declared to me that I might just be World's Worst Blogger? Well, I believe that I have lived up to the title most diligently. Today however I find myself with an unusual amount of uninterrupted time and a computer so. . . . . . .Yea, I am blogging. I thought I would post the lovely Halloween characters that live with me in an effort to actually post something. I will try to overcome the worst blogger stereotype and blog a little more frequently. No Promises!

Porter's impromptu transformers prologue

One day a couple of weeks ago we were at Michael's office and Porter was trying to "tell a transformer secret" to one of the girls there. Well, upon further investigation as to what this secret was Porter spouted off the above "speech" HELLO!!! Can you say too much TV? By the way I would like to point out the fact that he is allowed the EDITED version of this movie! Not the theatrical release. I'm not that irresponsible! Close though!

Cecily

It's hard to believe that Cecily is already 3 weeks and 3 days old! She is such a sweet baby. Thought I would update the photos because they change so fast. She has really gained weight this week, compared to the 2 week check at which time she weighed in at a whoppin' 6 pounds! As you can see from the picture of Beans and Cici. She is well loved. All the kids want to hold and hug her. It's fun to see. Enjoy!

Cecily at One Week

Cecily is doing great. We took her IV out on Tuesday and she is beginning to look like a "normal" newborn. All we have to do is get all those bruises and puncture marks healed. She is wonderful and I adore having a baby in the house. All the great smells and sounds make up for all the lousy fatigue. The kids love her to pieces but, have had to keep their distance since they are all sick. Thanks for all the prayer and support!

Cecily's NICU stay

The first few days of Cecily's life was emotional to say the least. She spent the first four and a half days in a NICU bed! We were so excited when we finally got to hold her for more than 5 minutes at a time!
