#4 baby ian and baby jane

we had a new nephew (my side) and a new niece (pat's side) to meet when we went to utah. we were so glad to be able to meet them when they were still so precious and are humbled to realize how big they will be the next time we see them (in december - yeah!).
the girls with baby ian.


can't say the best pic of me but i just adore when i can hold a baby this way. newborns are just so kissable.


the happy family: tim, ashley and ian.



here's gracie with baby jane. grace loved holding jane and would spend hours (if she could) bouncing jane on the therapy ball (something jane loved) while watching disney channel (which according to my brother-in-law is basically watching all the plots from "saved by the bell" in a slightly different format. i never had the pleasure with "saved by the bell" -yes, i'm that old - but glad i wasn't the one downstairs while grace did this. thanks, ann & brian for letting her get her disney channel fix.)

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
