Who Needs A Pool??

This looks like fun.  Messy, but fun.  I’m convinced the girls are glad we came back to the States this summer to have baby Gabe. ;) 

It makes me so happy to know that they’ve been enjoying lots of cousin time.  I mean, few things in life are sweeter than swimming in irrigation water in your panties with a wet dog.  Truly.

Double Trouble

Eleven days after Gabe was born, my brother & his wife welcomed a little baby boy into their family, too.

My heart spills over when I think about the two of them together in heaven before they came to earth.   I’m so happy that Gabe will have a little cousin to play with, a cousin his exact same age.

  Jude Iver Jackson was born an hour & a half after his mama made it to the hospital.  It’s an amazing birth story I tell ya’, but we’re all just glad he made it here safe.

(If I could draw the two of them together, this is what it’d look like, but for now, I’ll just use the cool effects in Picasa.)

That week in June (before I had a baby)

I am so grateful for family.  I am also so very lucky that my kids have lots of cousins to play with. 

I stayed with my in-laws during the month of June, and we had a great time full of good ole farm-filled livin’.  The girls were definitely not lacking in the attention department.

AnnMarie attended her first wrestling tournament to cheer her cousin Will on.  Her & Drew obviously kept themselves entertained.  I’m sad I missed it, but I have reason to envision myself attending many tournaments in the future. ;)

The pictures I confiscated off of my MIL’s camera that were taken the week I had Gabe are my favorite.

More on that soon.
