My babies

Here are some pictures of my babies from August 29, 2007.

Here are the girls waiting for baby brother to arrive.


Lulu's reaction to seeing the baby.


Jordan was smitten from the moment she saw him.


Baby Shane just hours old.

What a smile!

Lulu lost one of her top middle teeth a couple of weeks ago. The other one has been loose and she refuses to yank it out.




Until Friday night. She had wiggled it and it was only hanging on by a thread. Under duress from her dad - she twisted it until it came out.



In other tooth news, Jordan has to go back to the orthodontist in a couple of weeks for her Jones jig appliance. We are not thrilled about this. Hopefully her time will go quickly and she can get it off before she is miserable. No pics focusing on her teeth right now but here's one in her softball uniform. Her team is raising money to go to the World Series. We had nothing to do with the team name. The coach came up with it. Whatever.



As for Shane, he is STILL not crawling. He acts like he might try to crawl but then he just cries until someone picks him up or sets him on his bottom. Still no teeth either. Oh well, I am sure he will catch up sooner or later. Here's a pic of him in the doorway jumper. He loves that thing! (Thanks Wendy!)

Summer Camp

The girls started summer day camp this week. I have been a little worried about it because I didn't know all of the kids or counselors that would be there. I took them in on the first day and they were fine. When I got home (Eric picked them up), they said they both had a great time. I was so relieved!

They will have several activities every week. On Tuesdays they will go swimming. I told them I would come to the pool during my lunch to watch them for a few minutes (and check out the facilities) but they couldn't cry when it was time for me to go back to work. "No, mom, we won't cry!" they promised. I got there today and they were so excited to see me. As an aside, I LOVE being a mom! They make you feel like a rock star sometimes - just for showing up. Anyway, when it was time for me to leave, you guessed it - Lauren started crying. Good grief! I told her that I had to go back to work and she had to go back to summer camp. She stopped crying but walked ever so slowly back to the pool. I waved bye to them and when I was out of sight I peeked back at them and she was fine. Playing, splashing, laughing. That's my Lulu!

Tomorrow they are going to a Lookouts game. Jordan wants a foam finger. Lauren doesn't know what she wants. She will browse the gift shop and probably end up buying some candy at the concession stand. Oh well, as long as they have fun, right?
