The $135 Lunch Visit

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Today, daddy came home for lunch and stopped in at Panera to grab something to eat on the way. Since the house is quite a ways from downtown, speeding a little was required. After picking up about $15 worth of sandwiches and soup, and ALMOST making it to the house, the red and blue lights […]

Let Me Hold Her

Monday, November 13th, 2006

Gabriella loves her sister. If she doesn’t know where she is, she runs around looking for her. She always tries to share her sippy cup, or a french fry or a wood block. We have to keep a close eye on her because she loves her so much! Her new favorite thing to do is […]

Nona came over today to help out with the girls. She stayed for dinner because Papa had a meeting to go to after work. We decided to eat left overs and watch Survivor. Luckily Papa’s meeting was much shorter than expected, so he got to the house in time to watch with us. Olivia slept […]

The Pacie

Olivia is officially three weeks old tomorrow morning at 9:44am. Dr. Mayberry said that at three weeks, it was OK to start trying to give her a pacifier. She has been quite a handful in the evenings the last few days, crying a lot and very difficult to console. So Mama and daddy decided that […]
