BABY PICS

Becky and Tessa are doing well. Adam is thrilled to have a baby in our house. Here are some pictures from the last few days.

Adam thought the breast pump would make a good trumpet.

Happy Birthday Tessa!

Tessa surprised us all and came early Saturday morning. Ironically, we had just scheduled the C-section for the 25th. I guess Tessa couldn't wait that long. She was born at 8:19 am and weighs 6 lbs and 6 oz. Becky and Tessa are doing well. Tessa is tired and the pediatrician isn't sure if this is from normal tansition or if she has an infection. Even though he doesn't think that Tessa has an infection he wants to be cautious so Tessa is on a 2 day course of antibiotics. Other than that things are going well.

Special Delivery! by Eric

Last week Adam and I played a game where you say "special delivery" and then deliver a pillow to the other person's head. Oddly enough it all started while Adam was singing "Twinkle twinkle little star" with Becky. I came over to sing too and he turned around and swung a pillow at me. This just goes to show that our roles are pretty well defined in our house. Mom means singing and Dad means a pillow to the back of your head. Anyway, after a tough round 3 of "special delivery" I laid down but Adam wasn't done yet. He pummeled me with every pillow from my bed, then went to his bedroom and hit me with all his pillows and then when there were no more pillows in the house he got his big red bat to finish me off. Needless to say after such a humiliating defeat, I'll be challenging him to another match of "special delivery" soon.

This weeks projects....

Tessa's bedding finally came last week and so I have spent the week getting her room ready. Adam wanted to try out her bed after I had everything set up and looking pretty. I love her bedding!!! I made curtains for her window and am not thrilled with the outcome. My sewing machine doesn't work well and I had a two year old pulling on the fabric while I tried to measure things. So, please don't study them....you will see my mistakes!
We painted her shelf, name and butterflies. In the end, her room is super cute and very girlie!

Mommy Time

I decided yesterday that Adam and I needed to have extra mommy time together during the next 3 weeks. He is in love with his ABC's right now, so this morning we made ABC sugar cookies. He loved it and ate the cookies as fast as I pulled them out of the oven. I think this will be something we do together more often.

The finished product!

Blueberries

Eric was cracking up at Adam's face after he finished a bowl of blueberries. His tounge and teeth were so gross!! The boys thought it was hilarious and Adam was proud to show off his yucky tounge.

Trip to Rexburg!

On Saturday we decided to drive up to Rexburg and see the sites there. I know what you are thinking.....what is there to see in Rexburg? Well, nothing! But the temple was beautiful and BYU-Idaho was much bigger than I remember Ricks being. It was just nice to spend the day together as a family.
