Grannie Day

By Martha -
I have the greatest mom ever. Each Thursday is "Grannie Day." She sets aside the day to take care of her grandkids and give their moms a day off. It's wonderful for me but also great because Marian is getting to know her so well. About a month ago, Grandma Phyllis, my 95-year old grandma, was there for Grannie Day. She has always loved kids and got right down on the ground to play with Marian. I just wanted to share these cute pictures of Grandma Phyllis and Marian. Not bad for a 95 year old, eh?


This is Grandma Phyllis and Marian looking out the window at Zeke.


And playing on the ground.

That is awesome to have a Grannie day. There is a lady in our ward that does Grandma Camp for all her grandkids. They fly in from all over the country to stay at grandma and grandpa's for a week. And she has the house for it with a bedroom full of bunk beds and a basement full of toys. I'm thinking of sneaking Makenzie in her Grandma Camp next summer.

Anyway, Nate and I have a blog also if you are interested in checking it out. It's http://allthebirds.blogspot.com

Merry Christmas!

Martha Phyllis - How sweet to see the beautiful lady you are named after. Those pic's have got to be one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. What a woman that Phyllis is! ADORABLE! Oh and how cute of your mom to have "grannie day!" Tell her she deserves one to a billion for that one!

When in the course of human biological events it becomes necessary for one person to dissolve the umbilical bands which have connected her with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle her, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that I, the father, should declare the statistics and condition of such individuals so separated....... so here is my post: Sunday morning: 0330: Martha, who has been contracting, wakes Adam. 0330: Adam, who is happy to hear that contractions are coming, is nevertheless content to lie in bed for a little longer. 0330-0350: Adam and Martha time contractions at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes apart. 0400: Contractions increasing in strength. 0410: Joe arrives to watch Marian. 0415: Martha is not enjoying contractions which are strong and consistent by now. 0416: Joe's expression shows that he's never seen a woman in labor. 0420: Adam and Martha leav...

Hello world!

Look at me, doing a blog post and joining Facebook in the same week! I guess it's time for an update since it's only been four months. I'll start with Liv. I can't believe she's already 4+ months old! She is doing great! I feel so blessed that she is so healthy and developing perfectly so far. In the last week she has started rolling over (multiple times so she ends up far away from where I put her) and grabbing things. She has also decided she doesn't like nursing from mommy. :( We'll see how long I can stand pumping... Usually she is a happy little person, but in the last two weeks she has screamed for an hour+ straight while being babysat (sorry Ang and Anne-Marie!). What a stinker! I told Adam she could write a book called, "How to Lose Friends and Frustrate People." At least she's good for me. Here are some recent pictures. She gets lots of attention from her adoring older sisters. Sometimes she's painfully aware that being the thir...

And we're having...

another GIRL!!! We are really excited. She was so cute on the ultrasound--my favorite part was her little foot (measuring 3.5 cm right now). She wasn't doing flips and cartwheels like Mini was on her ultrasound so maybe she'll be a little mellower, more like Emmy. Most importantly, she looks healthy and her growth is right on. The only disappointment is that they didn't move my due date up at all. I was hoping to be moved up a week--away from Halloween. That's OK. The tech said she's actually measuring for November 1 so maybe I'll try to hold out for November 2 or 3. Seeing her made me so excited to get to meet her! As much as I don't love being pregnant, I'm so excited to have another little bundle to hold!
