Graham's Newborn Pics

These were taken when he was 2 weeks old. I love his little frog legs and wrinkles...don't grow!!

The County Fair

We had so much fun at the fair. I hadn't been forever and surprisingly enjoyed myself thanks to funnel cake and the pure enjoyment of watching other people, but mostly it was fun to watch Sophie get excited about all the rides, lights and games. She sometimes enjoyed the rides and other times looked a little scared (note dragoon pic) but she had a blast and Graham was so good. Perhaps we'll attend again next year.

Grandma Rabe

We were lucky enough to have Ben's mom come out and visit us for a week. It was so nice to have her here to entertain Sophie and see the new baby. We loved having her and now were are ALL ALONE ....yikes!! Thankfully Sophie has adapted well to the baby and is always telling me what to do when he cires. She tells me to rock him, burp him, get his binki and thinks a blue hushie (blue slushie) will make him feel better. They are her favorite treat right now and they are the answer to everything. So it nice to have my own little helper. Thanks again Ann for all your help!



I shouldn't be shocked the boy has milk dripping from his mouth. This is all he wants to do is eat! He has already gained his month weight, so the doctor doesn't need to see him unitl his 2 month check-up. Go Graham!!

H O M E

We have loved having Graham home with us. He is such a sweet baby and brings so much joy into our home. Sophie is getting used to having him around and is liking him more and more. My mom has been a BIG help in taking care of Sophie and the rest of us this past week. We are sure going to miss her. WE LOVE YOU MI MI!!!


His first bath...I can't get enough of his tiny little booty!


All Sophie wanted to do with my mom was make cookies..that they did and plenty of other things to keep Sophie satisfied.
Is this legal??
