Humor

One of our offspring has always had a very "unique" sense of humor. To illustrate my point, I offer the following as evidence (our recent Mother's Day and Father's Day cards) -- can you guess who gave them to us?











Those of you who know our children probably won't have any trouble figuring out which one gave us these. We both got a good laugh out of them!

Baby Sister Arrives

Baby Girl Dewsnup is finally here. (She doesn't have a name yet, so that's what she is known as right now -- "BG" for short). She was born on June 15th (she'll get to share her birthday with her Uncle Neil). She was born about 10:30 a.m., weighing 7.5 pounds, 19-1/2 inches long.

I know Melissa and Rob will have more (and better) pictures on their blog soon, but for our family and friends who can't wait, here are just a few--I was asked to get some pictures of Danica with the baby, so that's why there aren't any of the baby alone.

Clay and I brought Danica to the hospital so she could be introduced to her new sister. She has been eagerly awaiting this moment for months!

Here she is learning how to hold a baby properly (she seemed a bit nervous).



She's talking to her little sister, but I can't remember what she said.


She wholeheartedly approves of her new sister.



Notice that Danica wore her "Big Sister" shirt to the hospital.


The baby was born at Sacred Heart's Riverbend hospital. The hospital is quite new, beautifully done and very nicely landscaped, and there's a wooded area in back with nice paths to go for a walk (which I guess would be more for the visitors because people in hospitals don't usually go for many walks). Rob wanted to get out for some fresh air, so we explored a little bit. Danica enjoyed checking out the water feature -- a large pond with a waterfall which was very soothing.



We're looking forward to many happy moments with this precious new blessing in our lives!
