SISSY!!!!


Big brother Brody is mostly elated about having a baby sissy. He runs around yelling SISSY at the top of his lungs and showering her with many gentle kisses! Brody is over flowing with sweetness. I am so proud to have such a loving little man. I observed Brody patting and telling his baby sissy "it will be okay, Sissy" when Cali was whaling in her carseat while on the road. Uh, I just love my sensitive little dude!

Much Needed Update


Well, I am sure most of you know I have a fabulous excuse for not posting in a long time.


Our beautiful little girl, Caroline Josephine Sample was born 8-9-10

7 lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long


She is absolutely perfect and quite a drama queen already. She is giving mom and dad tons of grief already with gastrointestinal issues and the dreaded reflux. Darn kids! :0)


Brody has welcomed his new sissy with open arms and is surprisingly sooooo sweet to her. I am very proud of my little man.

Can you say MINI ME?



When I saw these pictures for the first time, I was so taken back about how much Brody looks like his Great Grandma! I just LOVE these pictures. Brody had a blast at the Fair. He loved the tractor and truck pulls and is still talking about them. I think he was pretty much the nightly entertainment for Papa, Dada and Uncle Chris too. We are still trying to straighten out his nightly schedule after the weekend partying from the Fair. :)

Gearing Up...

We had our second attempt at the 3d/4d ultrasound with Miss Caroline. She was a little stinker and didn't reveal herself until the very end. In the above picture, she is sucking her thumb. So cute!
The end is nearing and I cannot wait to hold our baby. She is due August 18th by csection if she doesn't come on her own prior to that.
Our new baby furniture is scheduled to arrive on Friday and I'm relieved to have it in time to set up and organize. woo hoo!
At the beginning of the month Caroline was 5 pounds and 3 ounces. I have another ultrasound next week and weekly monitoring test at the hospital, so if I'm not seeing her, I am listening to her heartbeat on the monitor.

Squirling it Away!


Our little man has a real big appetite at times! Usually breakfast is a good time to get Brody to eat something besides CRACKERS! Today he ate 1 1/2 containers of yogurt, part of a banana, a handful of cereal, 4 sausage links, two sippy cups full of milk, and an apricot! Then daddy gave him part of a hot dog. Geeze, I wish I could make it one season in the same size clothes and shoes.
Brody has a habit of filling his cheeks with fruit (as seen in the picture) and running around for an hour or so before actually swallowing it. He is such a turkey!

Just Not That Into It....


This month playgroup celebrated little Sally's first birthday. In the picture, you can see how eager and excited the girls are for the festivities, however the boys just don't seem that into it. Typical party poopers...don't want to hold still for a picture or watch the opening of presents. The only participation for the boys is eating the food (or at least cake). ha.

Testing the Merchandise

Brody has a definite advantage when it comes to toys. Since I frequently have new things around, he gets to play/test them before they go out the door. In the picture above, Brody was so bored while I was sick, I set up this playhouse in the middle of the living room.
