Back Home

We've finally come home, and we're very happy to be back in our own digs. Our pets missed us, which is nice to know. Jasper just about died of joy when I walked through the front door, although I don't know how excited she was to see Sophie!

The nurse was nice enough to take our picture in front of the maternity ward Christmas tree. Merry Christmas everybody!


Loading up the truck!


Shiloh is overjoyed to see Sara back. Also, he has had a slightly unusual obsession with both of our girls as newborns. i don't know what to think about that!


And there are my girls!!

The Hospital Experience

So what was the hospital stay like for mom and dad? It was pretty boring. I brought a book , but only read a little bit of because I just never felt like relaxing in this room. We had a TV but neither one of us felt like just sitting there watching TV. We got to see a lot of Sophie though. All she does is sleep. Ruth came by a few times and, like a tornado, tore the room up with all her own pent up energy. Mainly, I did a lot of this:


Sara was, for some reason, a little worn out herself:


Oh, and we had fun taking goofy pics of Sophie:

And In This Corner....

Big Sister thinks this is pretty cool!


And I think Ruth likes her little sister too:

The Big Night!!

In a strange turn of events, I am writing this post from a hospital watching Sara try to sleep. Around 7:00 tonight, Sophie decided to let us know that she was on her way; I guess she couldn't wait to be induced tomorrow. So here we are, it is almost midnight and we are waiting for Sophie to get her act together and make her big appearance. I can't really go to sleep so what am I I doing? I'm surfing the internet and blogging of course.

Silly Daddy

Kevin's starting his midlife crisis a little early.

Waiting for Baby

Well, we're just counting down the weeks until baby sister's arrival. Ruth is passing the time with lots of books, and by feeding her shoe fettish. We are basically settled into our new apartment, and just have a few things left to do before December 31.

New Apartment

We've been living in our new apartment for the last three weeks or so, and we're loving it! It's a little smaller, but it has more character than our old one. So here are a few pictures. And the picture of Ruth? I have no idea. It is a little scary though, isn't it?

Growing up and Playing Hard

Here are a few pictures in offering of our absense. Leave us a message, we'd love to hear from you!

A Little Late with our Big News!

Okay we're really late in putting this up on the blog, so most anyone who checks this already knows anyway. I'm just covering my bases....



....WE'RE PREGNANT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just found out (about three months ago that is), and are so excited. We don't know yet if it is a boy or girl, but we are gonna find out! But we do know what the baby looks like:




We're also planning on moving into a new apartment here in a few short days, or maybe a week. The new one is a little smaller, but the utilities are free, it's on the ground floor, and it has washer/dryer hookups in the kitchen (all very important things to the lady of the house). Like our apartment now, it is in a nice old house. Actually, it is is just two houses down from the one we live in!

Bingham Park!

Now that Ruth can walk (or run!) we've been taking her to the park on our street. She absolutely loves it!


The Morse Girls:


Okay, now that's all the Morse Girls (sorry Jasper!)


Woo Hoo!


Time to go home!
