SHE'S HERE!!!

Friday, May 11th at 1:54 pm, "Little" 9lb 3oz Geneva Grace entered the world! The delivery went well, and it was a wonderful day surrounded by friends and family as we celebrated her arrival. The girls were beside themselves with excitement, and Sam is still trying to figure out what to think - although, he does enjoy stealing her pacifiers!

She has many nicknames at this point (GiGi, Nevi, Geneva Grace, Geneva College (Janie told the neighbors to come in and see her new baby sister, Geneva College!) and Gracie) In sticking with our tradition of naming our girls something meaningful (Grandmother

s names) and them calling them by a nickname that is not derived from that name (Eliza to Elli, Janis to Janie), we are going to call Geneva Grace something else. Our leaning is toward Nevi, but the jury is still out! Stay tuned.

BIG BROTHER?

Any day now this little guy will be a big brother - I don't really think he looks ready.

ICE CREAM MAN

The ice cream man LOVES our street because of the large number of children that inhabit it. Sooo I couldn't resist treating the kids to the first ice cream of Spring - there is actually one type that Elli can have on her diet, and that's what they all enjoyed. Sam was fascinated by the whole event, as he LOVES anything sweet or prepackaged!

CRAFTY GIRL

The girls both LOVE crafts. These days, I am kind of tired, and am usually putting them off, but the other day Janie came to me with her

Princess Craft Book and really wanted to make this "Princess Headband" Of course, I couldn't resist, and now that I have finally admitted to myself that I am not a scrapbooker, I happily donated all my paper to her cause. We had so much fun.
