All about the Cupcake

After a month-long birthday celebration, Lil has decided that cupcakes are where it's at. So, Ali and I now call bran muffins cupcakes. I think we'll try that approach with peas and carrots tomorrow. Will report back soon.

Lily watching over Tate

Ali brought along photos of Lil to tape to Tate's bassinet so he could start getting familiar with his sister. The nurses have all commented on how wonderful an idea this is. So if you need any wonderful ideas, go ask Ali ... 

William Tate arrives

Here are pics of Tate before and after his arrival. William Tate Earle was born at 6:46 A.M. on September 10, 2011. He weighed 7lbs 2oz and was 20 inches long. Ali is recovering well from her surgery and Tate is adjusting normally. All is well.

Friends

Holding hands with our friend Dolly and sitting with our best friend Carl. Too bad this cute scene is happening before 6am.

Big Carl

Ms. Amy brought a big giraffe into school last week. Lily has named it Big Carl. She wants to ride him everyday. This am another girl wanted to ride Big Carl. That did not go over very well with Lily. Good thing no one has ever tried to touch real Carl.

Birthday cupcakes at school

Monday, Mommy and Daddy went to see Lily at school and brought cupcakes for her birthday.  Seems Lily is following in the footsteps of her mother - celebrating a birthday all week long.  I see nothing wrong with that.  The cupcakes were her 2nd favorite color.  The new favorite color is orange.  

PS - Doesn't someone - 35 weeks pregnant - look very comfortable in those little bitty chairs?
