More from around the house...

Giving us the "Doctor Evil" pose

like big sis used to...

Looking Smug.
Sleepy Boy.

Bucket Head.

Still Sleeping...

Pretty Pumpkin

In preparation for Halloween we decided

to carve pumpkins last week...

Reagan thought it was odd that we

threw so much of it away... for each scoop

that Daddy took out she put one back...

Laying out the template

(I bought a kit that was more expensive than the pumpkins!)

Trying it on for size...

Squishing the guts...

Admiring the finished product

and enjoying a snack.

Reagan said it looked like a big apple...

(she actually tried to take a bite...)

Filling Out...

When we first brought him home,

Bracken looked like a wrinkly little man...

He is starting to grow into his skin a bit.

A few days ago he weighed in at 9 lbs 10 ounces

and grew 2 inches since birth (he is now 21.5").

I don't know of many people who grow

2 inches in 2 weeks. No wonder he sleeps all day.

Visitors and Lazy Days at Home

The star of the show...

Daddy and the kiddos

(I think all three look annoyed that I am taking

yet another photo...they'll thank me in a few years)

Great Grandpa Earl and Reagan at the hospital

Bracken and GG (Grandma Gretchen) Relaxing in the recliner with PaPa Dave

A visit from our friend Blythe
(who used to look really tiny to me - she is 5 months!)

Grandma Carla is all smiles...

(sorry PaPa Ken - don't have any photos of you

with the kids - that is the way to get

onto the blog these days...)

Lucky Girl...

In the last few weeks we have received so many

thoughtful cards and gifts at our door that Reagan

is beginning to think it is her birthday...

She actually sings "Happy Birthday Reagan" as she
opens them including all the gifts for baby brother!

Snuggling with her "baby"

Getting a running start before

jumping on her dance pad!

A Birthday Surprise for Brother...

To celebrate Bracken's one week birthday

(and to satisfy Reagan's sweet tooth)

Daddy made cupcakes!
Demonstrating the art of sprinkles...

Reagan giving it a shot...
Wouldn't you want one? Mmmm...

Adding her princess candles...

Testing out her handiwork...

Doesn't he look thrilled?

Happy Birthday Brother!

Scenes from around the house...

A few shots from our first week at home...

with lots of hugs and kisses from big sis!

I told him to look serious and this

is what he gave me...

Playtime on the floor

On the move...

Making silly faces.

I think you can guess what he

is doing in this picture...

Our sweet and squishy old man...

Playing nice...
