New Years Eve Grandson

Wow

have I got something to share this week

at Kim's Party

i need to  brag about our new family addition
~Miles Aaron~

i got a text at 6 a.m. saturday morning
the last day of the year
2011
it was a beautiful morning as i causally pulled out of the driveway
thinking i had lots of time...

~boy was i wrong~

my son wanted a tax deduction this year

and he got it

~miles aaron~

9lbs 8oz 21 3/4"

8:11 a.m.

new years eve

her water broke at 4:00 a.m.

it took her all of four hours

~now that is something to celebrate~

i love this picture

he is so proud of her

the kids have been here since so

oma & opa

could help out

sometimes it took all four of us

how can they possibly do this on their own..

i have no idea

he is such a good baby

and all that yellow hair...

and his brother loves him so much

doesn't

matthew & miles
have a such a good ring to it

poor mom struggled with an infection

and really scared us there for a few days

so oma was able to get lots of snuggle time in

the kids were all well fed and rested

while here
we were all pretty tired most of the time

even great grandpa came for a visit

it is hard sending them off into the real world

my son off to work today

my dil to care for these boys

all day long by herself
in their own home

~yikes~

now that's a hard job

my job is taking down the rest of

Christmas

i thought i could manage that

while they were here

but that didn't happen

i will be busy the next few days

hoping i can get through it...

~the missing of the kids part~

i really struggle with...

wanting my quiet house back to normal

&

 wanting the kids to never leave
