Meanwhile...

Life has not totally stopped since Anna's birth. There are still 3 brothers here who keep us laughing, learning, and praying a lot. A few photos of how they've entertained themselves since Anna came our way on Thursday night.


Let's start with Aidan...he is training to join a children's roaming circus as a magician/stunt man. We like to fill his wagon up with water, have Aidan put his head under it, balance on his head and arms as he raises his feet upward, and then Benja and Nate pull the wagon at full speed over the bumpiest parts of our yard. So far he's done very well. On to Nate...



Nate has a passion for good dental hygiene. He's been working on a new technique for low cost cleanings that anyone can do with a garden hose, jet spray, and a 911 number close by. Other than some surface tissue scarring he's well on his way to perfecting this technique. We're sure that once the ADA approves this HUGE money is a comin' to his parents as a result of his innovative thinking. Let's hope so anyway.




There are times when the big brother has to lay down the law. This day was one of those days. Benja took it upon himself quite regularly to gun down the younger brothers when they got out of line. Here, Nate cowers for cover as "The Marshall" hunts him down. Nate was fortunate to find some garage refuse to hide behind. Aidan, as you can tell, is trying to get away from the scene as quickly as possible before the Marshall hunts him down using his Head-Bobbing-Circus-Mobile as an escape vehicle.

So, just know that while we are very, very, very excited about Anna's arrival, life does go on in a very normal fashion...
