Around the House

Connor loves to kiss "baby".

It's been warm (for Washington), so we're just trying to stay cool!

We still have to get our work on the computer done!

First attempt at taking care of both kids at one time.

Connor's new book. And his new hobby - sitting on his chair.

Grandma Dot

The kids enjoyed Grandma Dot's visit. One of the highlights was raspberry picking (apparently Connor ate a TON of them =) We are extremely grateful for all her help while we were recuperating and learning about life with more than one child!

The Putman Family

Our new little girl, Katie





Grandma Dot and Connor


Connor enjoyed lounging on the hospital bed. He did a (pretty) good job of being "gentle". He is such a lovebug!


Jeremy's Mom, Grandma Dot, came for the week to take care of Connor while we were in the hospital and to take care of us now that we're home. She is doing a GREAT job, and we are SO thankful for her.

Connor has been SO SWEET with Katie. He imitates her sounds (although not her crying, praise the Lord!). So we say "what does Katie say" and he grunts. He asks "baby?" if he hears her or if we go to see her, and he gives her gentle pats on the blanket and kisses on the head. What a treasure.

Special Visitors

Papa came and visited both nights (Mon/Tue) at the hospital. He kept hoping Katie would open her eyes (but no luck).

Our friends from church, the Ryan family.


More friends from church, Anastacia and her daughter, Sarah. Connor happened to be there when Sarah came, and boy was he happy to see his girlfriend ;)

To the Hospital & Delivery

Our precious little Katie (Katherine Gail) arrived July 13. We had a scheduled C-section so we were able to take some "before" shots of Meg's tummy at its biggest (It felt bigger this time, but photo evidence suggests it was bigger with Connor). Katie was 7 lb, 7 oz and 19 inches long. She was (and still is) extremely healthy. Praise the Lord!
