February 1, 2011 - Bekah's Visit and Brooke's First Bath

Brooke, 2 weeks and 3 days new.

Our neighbor Bekah.  She came by to meet Brooke and brought her an awesome welcome home gift... a very plush, fluffy bath towel with a pink flower on the hood.

Brooke's first bath.  Lane was a big helper.  He got the wash cloths ready and was ready to help comfort her by going 'sh, sh, sh' if she got upset. 

Mommy and Brooke.  I love this baby!

Lane's Moby Wrap

Lane used the 'belt' from my robe to fashion his own Moby Wrap :)!  Very creative I thought.

Jacob is FIVE!

After playing soccer and basketball in the rec center, we went upstairs for cake, presents and a football pinata! Lane mentioned several times the next day what a good time he had at Jacob's party!  I can't believe he's already five years old.

Ernie, Brooke and Lane.

Our Midwife's Retirement Party, January 29, 2011

Becky Burpo and Brooke, 2 weeks old, at Becky's retirement party.  Becky was the midwife at both Lane and Brooke's births.  We are so thankful for her and wish her all the best in her retirement.

Sunday, January 23, 2011 - Breakfast with Papa and Gramma Jan




Can't rotate this cute picture for some reason...





So if you choose to let Lane be up and around unsupervised while you sleep in, keep in mind, he might just choose to serve himself the remainder of a bottle of honey for breakfast :)!

At breakfast at K-Fazille (Cafe Brazil) with Gramma and Papa.  Lane wanted to wear his hair 'sticking up'.  We actually put some of mommy's mousse in it to help it along.
