Heya Carly

Shauna, Eric and et al....

I have seen the pics that Rob sent out and that is one cute little kid. Then again, what else was to be expected?! I know that labor was long and scary, and I am relieved to learn that all is well. Hopefully you will both have enough help to regain your strength and energy. With grandmas in the mix, bearing all things pink, I think you'll get the help you need and deserve.

What a blessing in all of your lives. Grow strong and true, Carly!

The Time for Tavonatti #3 has arrived

Shauna's post in January was the announcement, and now the time has arrived for the little darling to be seen. The news in May was that the baby was to be a girl. This caused quite a stir among the grandmothers, even to the immediate purchasing of things pink. Actually, I believe some pink clothes were purchased prior to that announcement, as if to help it along.

Anyway, Shauna is being induced today, after having to wait for a bed. Things are quite busy in the OB ward right now.

The next announcement will be accompanied by photos.

New Year, New Beginnings...

Goodbye to the easy life as I know it...
Goodbye to restful nights...
Goodbye to skinny clothes...
Hello toilet...
Hello soda crackers...
Hello your soft newborn skin...
Hello my new baby, can't wait to see you...

We are having another in August and couldn't be more excited!!
Love, Shauna, Eric, Cade and Cole

Recovering

Hi gang - let's see...Thanksgiving was enjoyable with Carolyn and David and it was a great opportunity to spend time together. We managed to keep them both in coffee in the mornings and things were smooth sailing after that. The restaraunt we went to on T-day night sits on the bluffs of Trinidad, which is right on the ocean. Some how we scored the upper corner table with windows on two sides. Mama Nature cooperated by having the sun set with a clear sky, so we could watch the descent through the trees and onto the ocean. It was awesome.

Thank you for the picture of the boys - they are good looking kids as are all four of them from what I can see. I did get the flowers, Rob, and they were timed perfectly. Came home for lunch on Christmas Eve and they were there on the porch to greet me. So far the cat has not chewed on them, which I appreciate. He has decided the dried flower arrangement is much more tasty. Go figure.

Christmas was one day off; calm and quiet just like I wanted. Did have a pleasant dinner with friends in the evening. Then back to work and THEN.....I had one week off. The week went well, even managing to get a few things done. Alice Van Zandt ended up in the hospital and she goes home tomorrow. I won't go into the gory details. Let's just say that things should pass more pleasantly for her.

Today was the first day back at work and it makes me wonder why I take vacations! But I know I will survive the next couple of days and then look forward to the next time I can do that.

Thanks for posting the kids singing their lungs and hearts out. It is a terribly cute age and they sounded great!
