two weeks with lennon

Lennon is a delight, Rex is huge! and we miss Nana very much.

and baby makes four

Greg and Rex visit the hospital. Rex says, "Baby drinks milk, Baby likes pacifier, Baby cries." He's more curious than interested and too busy to sit with Lennon in his lap. Okay with Steph as he's had a cough and snot running down his face.

Condensed Birth Story

Lennon decided to come on our moving day to the new house and after Stephanie had only 2 hours of sleep. Friends and family members helped with the move, playing with Rex and getting the house set up while labor progressed. At about 8 at night, active labor began and our Doula, Jolynn Lewis came to the house. At 12:25 we left for the hospital, Greg speeding and running red lights all the way. Only 20 minutes after getting to our room, Lennon was born at 1:05 a.m. She is beautiful, healthy and completely sweet.

christmas day

We had a visit from Grammy and Grandpa for Christmas. Santa brought the drums!

christmas fun

Making a gingerbread house, wearing wigs and posing with an elf were a part of our Chistmas fun.

christmas is coming!

Rex had a blast setting up the tree yesterday. We got one easy enough for the movers to handle when we are able to move into our new/old house. Greg played carols on the piano while Steph trimmed the tree and Rex ran around the room yelling, "Christmas tree, YES!" Rex also visited Santa, same one 3 years in a row... could he be the true Santa?

nesting

How in the world does one nest when the house you'll be living in when the expected baby arrives isn't done yet? It's driving me crazy! This is how I'm doing it: Making lots of lists of things I'd like to do to the house (one day), covering my dining room chairs and making a table cloth in sewing class, and roasting blue hubbard squash the size of my head to make pies and muffins (none of which I freeze for after the baby has arrived like I should be storing in a deep freeze that will be in said house). I eat the treats right away and think of more things to add to my list nesting wishes.
