Our new baby boy joined us on Thursday night last week.  He came fast and furious all, 8 Ibs of him.  We did make it to the hospital on time, but we had about 6 nurses running around like mad trying to get the delivery room ready.  Whew, glad that’s over, and we all lived to tell!

He screamed the first 10 minutes of his life.  poor guy.

Meet your new baby brother, Elena!

Gene was trying to tell me he has my eyes. I’m like “huh? look at those little slits, I think maybe that’s Esh!”

We’re working on the “be gentle” thing

This morning I realized I really don’t have that many pictures of just Brandt.  Poor guy has been gyped.

That’s all for now folks, I think I will go crash into bed while I can.  My Mom came on Friday and has truly been a life saver.  When I grow up I want to be just like her!  Last night she slept with the baby so I got a full nights sleep which was ummm… (cant think of a word descriptive enough) delicious! AND Gene is like really good at getting Brandt settled when he’s crying, I’m not sure how he does it, but it sure works in my favor!

Okay, that’s our life right now, slowly grinding to a standstill.  You all have fun with the Holiday shopping/banquets/caroling/baking/decorating. Most likely our evening will be a bit boring from now on so stop in and see us!
