One Month Old

One month old and sportin' his Halloween jammies from Grammy.

I really don't understand his fascination with eating our son...

Beemer was SO excited to give him a bottle. She is the perfect "little mommy."

Grandma

Grandma came to visit when Camero was born.

She did lots of snuggling, some cooking and errands, and generally made our lives easier

and a whole lot more fun!

Our New Camero

Our newest addition joined our family on September 16, 2011.

He weighed 8 lbs 13 oz and was 20.75 inches long.

His first picture - he was just a few seconds old. Right after this picture was taken, he started to gasp as he cried. He ended up in the NICU, thanks to a pneumothorax.

The sad picture.

This is in the NICU. AT took this pic for me because I couldn't go see him yet. This was definitely the LOW point.

The happy picture - going home!!

At home

with LOTS of big sister lovin'!

First Day of Pre-School

Audi had her first day of pre-school yesterday. She was so excited that "Beemer's old school and teacher" are now all hers. She had a great day and said the best parts were snack time and reading time! That's our girl!

(Don't you just love that pose?)

Catching up...

I am finally reaching the last week of this pregnancy and have decided to make up with my computer and catch up on what we've been doing while I was feeling too crummy to blog.

So, the last nine months, we have:

had a fabulous Christmas;

survived a pretty crazy ice storm (this is the beautiful part of it);

made snow men (note the snow level in the background - this was a snow day here);

celebrated Audi's third birthday;

went to Disney on Ice while visiting friends and family in Utah (sadly this is the only pic I have of the trip);

spent a morning at the St. Louis Temple;

made new friends;

were silly;

had a birthday party for Audi's favorite baby, Triangle Head;

had a slumber party when cousins came to visit (again this is the only pic I have of their visit);

attended Beemer's Kindergarten completion program;

went camping;

spent as much time with friends as possible before they moved;

read in the sunlight (I LOVE this pic);

started first grade;

got spoiled by our families;

and now we think we are ready for this baby.
