So we just started keeping Baby Michael. Bennett's learning how to be gentle and sweet to a newborn baby. Reagan is such a good helper. She wants to do everything for him. We stayed home the first 3 days so we could get used to each other. I was getting stir crazy so today we ventured out! We went to play group and it was a huge success! Everyone stayed happy the whole time!


Jan Walker is a very special lady at our church. She's an awesome seamstress and sews every new baby their own taggie when they're born. This is a picture for Jan. Each kid has a taggie that she made them. Several kiddos didn't make it into the picture. They were getting tired and hungry by that time!
Reagan feeding Michael a bottle. She got herself really comfey!

Bennett "reading" books. We're just now starting to trust him with books other than the cardboard kind!

This picture cracks me up! Reagan's favorite thing to do is see how much she can stuff into a basket, backpack, walmart sack, gift bag...you name it! She's constantly going around the house stuffing something. Today she was in the play room being really quiet for a long time. I didn't even bother to go in there cause what trouble could she be getting into in the play room??? Making a mountain of every toy she could find on the train table! THEN she insisted on climbing on top of the mountain. I had to take a picture.

Summer Randomness

Just a week left of our summer and then Tim goes back to work! He's excited about his new job and the kids and I are excited about taking care of Baby Michael. We have kept busy but really haven't done anything worth blogging about. Here's what we've been doing...

Have you heard of planking? Teens around the country lay face down with their arms to their sides pretty much anywhere. Google it and you'll see pics of people planking in trees, on top of tvs, on the McDonald's counter. I don't know why I think it's so funny. Tom Green started it a few years ago. Anyway, Tim fell asleep and so me and the kids put his arms down by his sides and took pictures.

The kids walking the "Daddy plank". Actually Reagan walking the plank. Bennett just enjoyed sitting on Tim's head.
