Nothin' Says Lovin' Like a...Part 2

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for."

Kary and Jen are pleased to announce the arrival of Noah and Blake's little sister:

All the important statistics =)

Brynnlee is taking lessons on how to sleep without distraction.

Our room with a wonderful view...and down below the roar of Life Flight.

Lovely little baby feet and toes.

The full scale picture.

As a side story: When Kary and I first told Noah and Blake that we were going to have a baby, Noah and Blake exclaimed, "Mom. The baby has to be a girl. We already have a brother." Matter of fact. Straight to the point. Our response was, "Well, we hope you are okay with a boy too. You can't exactly pick what kind of baby you get." Needless to say, when we went in for the ultrasound in June, and the tech told us it was a girl, the boys were thrilled! They have been looking forward to meeting Brynnlee ever since.

Shortly after Brynnlee arrived, I let the boys' dad know so he could tell the boys of their new sister's arrival. Noah and Blake were so excited, their dad called and asked if it would be okay if they came to visit right then. Noah and Blake were talking and moving a mile a minute. They were so excited they visited with us until 11:30pm! Yes, it was a school night, but their dad and I thought it was better they get acquainted with Brynnlee and get their wiggles out, than wait until the next day and have no focus at school.

It was wonderful to have the boys there and even better that their dad was able to take the first video of the boys and Brynn together. I would post it here, but the file is too big, so here is a link to see the video in its entirety. Noah and Blake Meet Brynnlee

Hope you enjoy the pictures. More to come. Thanks to all who have sent their congratulations and well wishes!!! Love to all!
