Georgia's Name

I came across this list the other day on a blog I read. I'm not sure if I really believe Georgia is a hipster name- also on the yupster list and the best list of all "names your friends will think are cool" list. I've really loved the name forever- but it's fun to see it might be growing in popularity a bit. Check out Nameberry.com - it is a really fun site.

Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Rail Road

We recently went up to Fish Camp to spend a day in the mountains and ride the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Rail Road . Eric's parents treated us to this fun day in honor of Sam's upcoming birthday. It was actually really relaxing- nothing like a slow train ride in an open car through the gorgeous mountains enjoying the changing fall colors. Nothing makes this boy happier than trains!

It was a little loud for this boy though!

Happy Birthday Mom!

It wasn't easy- but we did it! We got a great picture of all 8 grandkids! (Credit really needs to go to Leah of Magic Moments). Mom loved the picture... it was a huge surprise!

One sleepy girl

She sleeps- all the time! I'm not complaining for the record- but it is amazing how this girl needs her beauty rest! I keep thinking- today is the day she is going to "wake up"...but not so far. It's amazing how you forget the details of having a tiny newborn. Right now, I'm just enjoying the quiet- and getting some rest myself.

Three under four...

These three are each 16 months apart. April watched them while we were at the hospital- and she really had her hands full! (Not to mention she is pregnant and in her first trimester!). I'm so glad she captured this moment and emailed me these pictures. They look like they belong together. Thanks again sissy!

Georgia Grace

She's here! We are blessed beyond words...

Her brothers are in love and so are we. She has chubby checks and (surprise!) a little bit of dark hair. She is enjoying being smothered in kisses from big brother Ben.

(The details.... Aug. 27 at 8:48 a.m. 7 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches)

Wallpaper Update

It's almost done-but it hasn't been easy! And we ran out... and it's not sticking really well. But, another roll arrived today- and we have special glue to work on the seams. Dad said he's never had such bad luck with wallpaper before. However, I do like the pattern and color and I think it's going to look really good when it is finally done.

PS- Eric isn't a fan of wallpapering.
