ALL BOY

We're still here...just adjusting to being a family of four. BB (my mom) left last week and reality hit. Despite the mounds of laundry and the lack of real sleep, I am having so much fun with these boys. We've been playing hard. Two of our most fun recent outings were Durham and Jasper's birthday parties.

Pax also got his third haircut! He looks like such a big boy.

ATOMIC DROP

This is Paxie's favorite wrestling move, the atomic drop. That all fine and dandy, until he tries to do it on Mama. I'm trying to teach him that that move is JUST for Papa.

OUR NEW LIFE WITH MO

As far as Pax is concerned, I'm sure he'd like to get a new brother every week....since he just gets showered with attention....and toys. Since BB and PawPaw have been in town, we've been on the go.

We took Mo to his first doctor's appointment at 4 days old. He weighed 1 ounce more than his birth weight, which is more like his 2 week goal weight. A good eater he is.

We've also taken Pax (with Mo in tow) to a few parks and to the Noah's Ark exhibit at the Skirball.

Mo has been a mellow little guy who seems just happy to be included.

PAX - NOW TWO!

I went to the hospital for prolonged fetal monitoring the day before Pax's second birthday. The doctor tried to convince me to stay and get induced. I convinced her to let me to go home. Nonetheless, I got BB on a flight out the next day because I had a feeling that the baby boy would arrive before Friday, which was her scheduled flight day.

I didn't plan a party for Pax, but we sure celebrated him anyway. His grandparents and great grandparents showered him with gifts and love.

Meanwhile, mom and I got the garden weeded, put down weed cloth and mulched. Thankfully, Mo held off until Thursday to make his grand entrance.

NEWEST BOYS ON CARMONA AVE.

Here are the 3 newest boys on Carmona. Sarah, Rebecca and I took the first picture in December.

Rebecca had Rory on 12/18. Sarah had Emmett on 1/24. I had Mo on 1/28.

We are so excited to have these boys here!

SAMUEL AMOS "MO" ROGERS

On Thursday, January 28th, 2010, we arrived at the hospital around 5:00 pm and met this newest love of our life at 9:03 pm.

Baby Mo arrived 4 days prior to his due date....2 years and 2 days after his big bro. Pax has been a sweet big brother (so far) and is glad that Mo came bearing gifts - a TONKA TRUCK. He is also glad that BB and PawPaw are here to give him all the attention in the world.
