Memories from the Forgetful

Honestly, How could you not smile when you look @ this babies sweet face?

Seriously



This is pretty sweet too.

Love these kids

and look @ my handsome, handsome Husband.

I love my sweeties... all of them.

I forgot to tell you all! My beautiful sister in law Sarah had her sweet baby girl last Saturday!! Her name is Vivienne Michael Novosel and she is beautiful and perfect! That baby will have more love than she could ever know what do do with!

Vivienne's parents, formerly known as Sarah and Dave, have taken so well to their new roles as parents. I am so proud of both of them! I envy Sarah's patience, it is definitely something I need a bit more of, and seeing Dave keeping track of all the bodily functions on a chart made me smile. The excitement that they have for their new journey is really contagious! I am sooooo in love with our little Vivienne and when I think about all of the amazing and fun times we will all have as a family I tear up. I tear up when I think of my sweet mother in law saying over and over again on the phone within minutes of Vivienne's birth, "Andrea, It's a girl, she is perfect and beautiful, she is beautiful, she is just beautiful!"

We are all so proud of Vivienne's parents for being calm even though everything did not go as planned and we are proud of Vivienne for making it to 36 and a half weeks and for being the best week old baby we know!

We are happy for you guys and are truly so overwhelmed with love for all of you!
Welcome to the world Baby Girl!

Meet Grandma Sherry, Chris' mom, My MIL, Harrison's best bud.



These guys are always together. If you can't see, this is Grandma and Harrison just relaxing by the lake.



She loves this kid more than you'll ever know.



Hey! Who can blame her? He's pretty cute!



Even when we lived with them for a month, she couldn't get enough of him!



Thanks Sherry for loving on him all the time!

This dear man is my Father in Law. He is funny! The pic is from his days serving as president of AmVets. One of my favorite things about him is he thinks he is the first person to come up with the saying "Take care." I'm not joking he really does believe it. That is like me saying I coined the phrase "What's up?" We thought he was kidding but then he explained how it derived from "Take care of yourself" and he decided to shorten it. He thinks it caught on like wildfire because everyone says it now. What do you think? What are the origins of "Take care!"? Was it Bill Boettcher? Maybe..... I can't get to the bottom of it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't him.
