The babes!

Dylan has affectionately named his new sister "Babes". I don't think he planned to "rename" her; he just can't say Addison.

Our precious babies!

She's finally here... meet Addison Mable. Born on July 31 weighing 8lbs 2oz and 20 1/2 inches long.

Here we are!

LEFT: Dylan, the morning after surgery to remove his dermoid cyst. Such a trooper; however, he rolled his eyes when he realized I was only offering him water.



TOP RIGHT & BENEATH: Dylan, three weeks after surgery. Ain't he one handsome fella?

LEFT & BOTTOM RIGHT: Dylan watching his all-time favorite film, Ice Age!



LEFT: And lastly, me, enjoying week 17 of pregnancy number 2.

Dylan's so happy...

We are officially going to be four!!!

When MY new baby gets here...

Mommy, come look! When my new baby gets here I am going to show baby this -




and then I'm going to show baby how to ride on Daddy's shoulders--oh Mommy, baby'll love it just as much as I do. I know it!








And, and...I'll show baby how to ride on the
4-wheeler.


I'll show baby how to snatch your keys so that
you have to chase baby through the yard, too!


Then, I'll show baby the best places to hide from you, but Mommy
stop looking!


And I'll show baby how much you love me!

And I'll tell baby that you love baby just as much, too!

What, Mommy?

"Haaaaaahhhh!!! Does this mean...?
I mean...is this? Is it really??
Ohhhh, yiiipppiieee!"









"Mommy, is it too late to place an order?? '
Cause I'd really, really, really like a brother."

They're mine, all mine!!

What does Dylan enjoy most while Mommy gets ready in the morning?

Sneaking away to the kitchen and opening the ONLY cabinet that hasn't been locked up - the tupperware storage cabinet.

"He, he, he - by the time Mommy notices I'm in it, all the bowls and lids are in the floor and she's just too aggravated to pick them all up, so they're mine for the next two minutes - or until I lose interest, whichever comes first!" ~Dylan (13 months)
