Introducing...

Rocka Baby!

The puddle at the top is the placenta, the lump on the bottom left is the belly, and the thing on the bottom right is the head in profile. Isn't s/he the most adorable fuzzy blob you've ever seen?



Some News!

I have to admit that one of the reasons I wanted to get this blog up and running again is because I feel we owe it to our third child to broadcast every detail of his or her early life over the internet. It's nothing short of a basic parental responsibility.

And in case you missed what I just barely glossed over...we're expecting again!

Rocka Baby is due to arrive on New Years Day! Rocka Baby is the name Ping Pong has given our latest family member. We think he was inspired by the classic lullaby "Rock-a-bye Baby." Poki thoroughly approves of the name because there is a Lego Hero Factory guy named Rocka. So there you go!

FYI: As excited as we are to meet our newest little guy or girl, we're going to do our best to wait to find out if s/he is, in fact, a guy or girl until Rocka Baby's grand entrance! Let's see if that actually happens. :)

Yay for babies!

Ping Pong Has Changed...Just A Little Bit.

I need to dig up some pictures and fun posts from the last year to bring you guys up to speed, but in the meantime, here is a sample of a conversation we had this morning:

Ping Pong: "Mommy, climb inside this airplane."

Mom: "This toy airplane? Do you really think I can fit in here?"

Ping Pong: "No. You're too big. I'll climb in instead."

Mom: "Will you fit?"

Ping Pong: "Yes. And I'll fly around and around the room. I'll fly that way and crash into Carson...then I'll fly that way through the window...then I fly that way and fly down inside the sofa..."

Mom: "Really? You're going to do all that?"

Ping Pong: "Ooooh yes. I really am."

Five years ago today, every cliché about parenthood proved true. You were born and both of our lives began. I gave you the names of the two greatest men I could think of without realizing the size of the shoes that went along with those names, but you are filling them perfectly, and you don’t even know it. Happy birthday, Carson Atticus. These five years have been nothing short of awesome.

Hmmm...

So...after nearly a year, I'm wondering if Blogger will let me post. Let's find out...
