Couple more pictures

Just finishing cooking dinner for the crew but here are a couple pics of the boys. I'll try and get some more up and give you all an up date later.

Love ya Nikki

Weekly update

So Auntie Amy is visiting from Portland Oregon. As you can see both boys are quite taken with her. Joe is so cute. In the morning when I go to pick Amy up and return home with her he acts quite shy for a moment then he starts dragging her from toy to toy. Rory is also impressed with her reading abilities.

Well I would love to write more but we are getting ready for the party so I must return to the kitchen.

Love you all Nikki

A quiet week

Greetings from the handsome Lansing boys.

We are all doing well. We had a quiet father's day per dad's request we stayed in. The weather was semi cooperative. We were able to release Joe for about an hour in the morning before we got more rain. He stomped in puddles for the entire time he was outside. As you can see he adores his baby. Rory is doing very well. He even tries to sleep at night. Well he gets about 4 hours. We are working on that.

I will try and write more later this week. Right now it is time for Joe's shower. Yes shower, he loves it.

Take care Nikki

Joe's little brother arrived.

Guess what mom and dad got me. Give up?
A baby brother! They have both been going on and on and on for the entire winter about this baby Rory thing. But they finally brought him home! Well actually mom and dad both took off for a day and I stayed with Oma which was a lot of fun. Then dad came home looking really tired and he slept for a long time then he went some where, then he came back and got Oma and I and we visited mom at this place with a whole lot of cool toys that had great buttons that I couldn't push. But that's OK because there was this other new thing there that was just for me, a baby brother named Rory. I really like him. Mom says to tell you she has some great pics that Oma took she just can't get them on the blog right now but will post them as soon as she can. Till then here are a few pics of Rory his first day.

After delivery, we were both a bit tuckered out but very happy to be face to face.

Later in the afternoon dad caught Rory with his eyes open again and snapped this one. A few details in case you haven't heard them. Rory was born June 2, at 10:51 am. He was 7lbs 6oz and measured 20 inches long. I'm not sure which boy was the easier labor. Rory was induced, I got lucky the pitocin worked quickly on me but I'm not sure whether I liked going from zero to full blown contractions every 2 minutes. (No I am not exaggerating, they started the drip and I started hard labor within 5 minutes.) Luckily it only took about 2 hours of this and it was time to deliver. What fun. PS any folks making cracks about when are we having our 3rd, be warned you will be picking your teeth up off the floor.

On that note I have to go wake up my beautiful 2 yr old and start getting ready for our evening meal. Love you all and hope everyone is enjoying life.
Nikki
