I couldn't figure out how to resize my pictures on Mel's computer, but here they are.

The shirts that the girls made with Aunt "Bippi" (Mommy).
Dinner time

Jack William

Big Sister and Big Brother

Adam woke up at around 5:15 calling, "Mommy, Daddy" over and over. I went in to get him and he grabbed a tight grib on the back of my hair, while leaning towards the door. I took him downstair to get a drink. Nana had just woke up. Adam begged to get into his highchair so I put him in and gave him something to munch on. He reached for Jacob's tractors saying, "traa-tee". He had fun pushing them around on his tray and making tractor noises. He called for Nana and Papa. We left for Aunt "Meme" house around 6:30. She had to be to the hospital at 7am. Max woke up as soon as they left. He had a stinky diaper so I changed him and lay him back down. He lay in bed quiety until 7:30. After that he started singing loadly - fun to listen to. Adam fell asleep around 8am but only slept about 30 min - woke up with a very messy diaper. The kids were all so excited to see each other. Hailey was happy to show me where everything was. They watch Clifford and the boys played with tractors. They loved watching the birds on the feeder out the window. Vikki and Kenzie came over shortly after 9am. The kids had fun playing together. We turned on some music for them to dance to. Vikki and Kenzie left around 11:00. My boys got very grouchy soon after they had left. Adam was screaming over little things and was picking on the dog. They were both very tired from waking so early this morning and going to bed later than usual. Vikki and Kenzie came back just after the kids got done with lunch. Adam fell asleep as soon as I lay him in the playpen. Jacob also layed down and fell asleep for about 2 1/2 hrs. The girls and Aunt Vikki worked on making t-shirts with bubble paint. Max colored on a paper. Max napped until ~ 4:30. Around 2pm Mom called to say they had broke Mel's water and started her on pitocin. While the boys were asleep we took the girls outside to play. They played on the swings and went swimming in the pool. This evening Kenzie helped me make the dinner and Hailey helped me set the table. We had baked potatoes, corn and chicken for dinner. Mom came while we were eating and joined us for dinner. She stayed with the kids while Vikki and I went to see baby Jack. We got to watch him getting his first bath. We took lots of pictures and some videos. Before leaving we got to hold the little guy. He weighed 7 pounds and I believe is 19 inches long. Lots of dark hair. We got back to Mel's house around 7pm. We got the kids ready and then they left with Nana to go and meet their new brother. Vikki and Kenzie left also. After a little while I took the boys outside to play until bedtime. Nana came back with the kids around 8:30. After she left I got the kids into their pj's. Then I tucked Adam and then Max in bed. They both sure are cuddly before bed. Then I sat on the couch with Hailey and Jacob to read. I read Hailey the "I'm a Big Sister" book that she had gotten from Nana. She (and Jacob) really enjoyed that book. She had fun showing me her and Max's back packs and the fun things inside of them. She said they were from her Mommy and Daddy. Jacob really missed Kenzie and wanted her to come back. Vikki brought her over to spend the night with us. He was so excited and jumped up and down, clapping his hands. Jacob wanted to sleep with Hailey so I tucked them in bed. Hailey fell asleep right away. Jacob was asleep by 10pm. Kenzie and I put a movie (Ice Age). Then we decided to go outside and try to catch some lightning bugs. There weren't many out but we sure had fun trying. We did get lucky to caught a couple.
