First Week at Home

Well, we have had a great week with Brenna home with our family. She is adjusting to life with brothers just great and sleeps through EVERYTHING...in fact she just sleeps and sleeps and sleeps...we know, she is going to wake up in another week or so but for now...sleeping...sleeping...sleeping.

First Hour Home....the boys were so excited to see her.

Mom was here to hold Brenna before leaving for the airport. It was so good to have her to visit in the hospital, bake lots of cookies, and play with the boys all week.

Brenna got to hear her first goodnight "Little Boy Story" on Matthew's bed. As always she fell quickly asleep in her new cuddly blanket from Nanna Long.

Days in the Hospital

Here are some pictures of out time with Brenna in the hospital. We had visits from some great friends - Jeff and Janine came in from New Hampshire to visit - how fun!! Mostly we took some time to relax, recover, and enjoy our new little girl.

Welcome Baby Brenna Renee

We are so excited that our little daughter arrived yesterday. I posted some pictures above...such a joy to hold this little girl of ours. The big brothers were thrilled to get a sister and both are glad that they won the bet and get a hot-fudge-sunday!!! Both mom's or nana's I should say, were here to spend the day with us. Brett got to go and get them from the waiting room and they even were able to come into surgery recovery with us and hold little Brenna. Wow a family of 5- we are so thankful!!

 

Planting the Garden

Today we got to enjoy the day with Nana England (my mom) who has come in to see the new baby. I decided today to take her out to a pretty old farm that is now a nursery and we picked out everything for my new garden and then we spend the afternoon planting some seeds and plants. About an hour after ,the boys were all ready checking to see if they were growing----not yet I had to tell them, some seeds have a month or so to go! We had a nice afternoon.

Last Days as a Family of 4

Well.....Just a few days to go before baby comes so we took a few family pictures....this poor child will see like no pictures of his/her mommy pregnant. I have managed to take lots of boys pictures but not too many of us. Josh did a good job using the camera!

We decided to go out for 1 last dinner out - Anderson's Frozen Custard for yummy roast beef, curly fries and you guessed it - frozen custard. Delish!!!! It was a fun night out.
