It's a Girl...

After 39 weeks, our little girl has arrived. While we don't have a name just yet, we do have plenty of pics...


Here she is being weighed right after birth.


The staff even took a second to take a picture of mom, dad and our little one.


Here she's stylin' with her crocheted hat.


She has spent most of her first 12+ hours sleeping.


Luke was absolutely ecstatic to meet his new little sister.


Owen could not get enough of his baby sis.


Grandma & Grandpa have been a great big help. Here grandpa is rocking his newest granddaughter.


He's our superhero doc, Dr. Evans. His guidance, & expertise (& great sense of humor), enabled us to have a happy and healthy baby.


Last, but not least, mommy & baby enjoying some quiet time.

More Summer Fun

We recently headed over to Columbus to visit with Tommy and Cari in their new gorgeous house.


Here are the hosts cooking up a delicious supper in their new kitchen.


Soon-to-be cousin Cari giving the boys a bath. She now can't wait to have twins!


And the boys with the favorite big cousin Tommy.


During these super hot days, the boys and their friends decided to take up the in-door sport of bowling.


Check out Luke's form. He would have made PapPap proud!


Not to be outdone, Owen lobbed the ball from behind the line for a total of 73 impressive points! He can't wait to take on PapPap!


Luke had some interesting techniques for controlling the spin on the ball.

Happy 4th of July (2008)

A great time was had by all this past 4th of July weekend.


Here's Owen sliding down the Shark slide...


and if you look closely, you can see Luke tumbling down the slide. It looked a lot worse than it actually was.


The boys got to shoot some hoops at the Penny Festival.


Owen loved it.


Then the boys went head-to-head at a game of cornhole.


Here the boys are modeling their flag tattoos they got before the big fireworks display.


Not to be outdone, here's Amy auditioning for a future Whitesnake video.


The boys also got up early the next day to watch dad run a race. They really went for the free Gatorade. They kept asking us for the Gatorade recipe, but we told them they'll have to ask their cousin Joey.


After the race, the boys got to visit with the Liberty (IN) Volunteer Fire Department. Aunt Di-Di would have been proud of the boys knowledge of the inter-workings of a firetruck.


After a very busy weekend, mommy (& baby C) needed to really relax!

Baby C's Mamma...

Is Amy really with child?


Yep, she is!


Here's a pic of baby C.


We have been trying hard to make sure Amy gets enough to eat. We even tried our hand at making sushi rolls (Note: Due to the pregnancy, we used cooked crab).


Amy really loves sushi rolls!


We also tried our hand at Italian cuisine...we made a Timballo di Melanzane e Bucatini (a Drum of Eggplant and Bucantini pasta) ala the movie A Big Night.


And we Amy had a ton of dishes to do after wards, but it was worth it.

June Bugs on Vacation

We recently ventured to Indianapolis, IN for a quick vacation. Had a great time at the Zoo, children's museum and various restaurants, of course.


Here are the boys hanging out at the zoo with their friend, Katie.


Prego-mommy had to pull her weight and then some on this vacation.


We were lucky enough to sleep in a real train car that evening. This one belonged to P.T. Barnum.


At first, the boys thought about hopping a ride like these two fellas.


But then decided the stairs would be much easier.


After a day of fun, Daddy and Owen decided to relax at the pool. Luke took a dip too, but had to miss the photo op due to a potty break.


The next day was just as fun-filled.


Here are the boys "jumping" into the comic book world.


The superheroes donning their suits!


Baby "C" having a little fun!


Bye-Bye!
