Following the blessing we were able to spend separate time with each set of grandparents. I know the boys really enjoyed their time with each of them and were sorry when they had to leave.

My parents with the kids.

We spent an afternoon at the Bay Area Children's Museum. It had lots of fun things to explore and play on. Grandpa showing Jacob how to make repairs on the Golden Gate Bridge.

Parker painting on the window, only this time with permission. (Mostly because somebody else cleans it up.)

A very serious Jacob concentrating on his block building.

It was nice of the weather to be warm and not foggy. I would have more pictures, but I'm getting worse about remembering to take them. I bring my camera with me, just forget to use it. Just trust me, it was fun.

While we had Jamie's parents, we went to Happy Hollow in San Jose. It is a cute park for younger kids. It has fun rides, a big playground, and a petting zoo, as well as a puppet theater...what's not to love?

Parker giving his dad a ride.

It's not everyday you get to ride an eagle. Parker loved the carousel, every time the bell would ring indicating that it was about to start, he'd jump and get a big smile because he knew the fun was coming. Pavlov had something there.

A quick lunch break and then off for more fun.

Jamie's mom with Emma.

We wish we could see the grandmas and grandpas all the time, but we certainly appreciate them making the trip to see us.

Trevor and Shadow

My nephew and his wife came to visit ... but they were here on different days. Trevor came up on Sunday night and we had to take him back on Monday night.

In the short 24 hours he played at the beach with Parker,

played Wii with Jacob,

and loved on Emma, lots. He even changed her diaper, twice!

Tuesday morning his darling wife Shadow had a 10 hour layover at SFO.

We did a quick pedicure,

and then just took it easy.

It was the shortest visit ever, by both of them, but we had a great time. They are so good to my kids. It's fun to watch them play and see how much they love them. The feeling is returned!

Come back soon guys!

The Bath

Emma loves her tub time. She is completely relaxed from the minute her feet go in the water. It won't be long before we can no longer use the kitchen sink though.

Emma's First Day at Church

She was very popular!

How Stinking Cute is This?

Proof that at one time he liked his sister and was nice to her. Having two older brothers myself, I can vouch that you never know how long that's going to last. (For those of you who can't tell, Parker is singing "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree". )

2 Week Update

Yesterday we reached the 2 week mark of having Emma. We are all doing well. Jamie and I are quite tired, the boys are still excited to hold her and kiss her, and Emma is thriving. She really is a good baby.

This was the first night in the hospital. The strange thing is that I can no longer use the term "my boys" and refer to the rest of my family.

Emma was five days old when Josie came to do her first photo shoot.

She got some good ones!

This is our sunbathing beauty. She had a touch of jaundice and needed to spend some time in the sun to help her through it. Thankfully that was enough to take care of it.

Unlike her big brother, Jacob, that had to in a baby tanning bed to get rid of his jaundice.

They can't get enough of her.

She already looks so different. It's amazing what 2 short weeks will do. Two weeks ago I was pregnant, I only had two kids, and they were boys, and I had no idea how much I would love having a daughter (that has already joined me on two shopping trips).
