Brookie

A few more pics

Who's who?

Mackenzie is on top. We think they look similar but Brooklyn had her by an inch and 4 oz coming in at 21 inches and 7 lbs 4 oz. Brooklyn came Wednesday morning November 21st at 11:25 a.m. We got to the hospital about 9:30 am and I was about ready (an 8 for those of you who care) and she came just 2 hours later. It would have been even sooner if it weren't for the delay of Daddy passing out and causing quite a stir! We were just glad that he came to quickly so he didn't miss Brooklyn's grand entrance!

Mackenzie is liking the new baby for the most part. She is surprisingly gentle and loving but gets annoyed at little things like when Brooklyn uses her sheep blankie or when we don't let her throw the ball at the baby.

Here's the pretty new baby. More to come soon!

Mount Rushmore

On our long drive from South Dakota to Utah, Robert and I took a quick minute to check out Mount Rushmore. We thought it was a really cool place...totally worth our time. Mostly though we're just glad that we can say we've seen it since we lived in South Dakota and all. The reason Mackenzie is missing from this picture is that Robert's mom Carol and sister Liz saved us by flying back with her!

Now would be a good time to announce that we've moved to Utah. Robert got a job working for Sorenson Development here in Salt Lake. Our choices were to hurray and move as fast as we could or wait until after the baby and try to do it then. We opted to go for it while we still at least had one child that doesn't require too much attention --if you've ever seen Mackenzie you can guess which is which :)
So now we are living with Carol while we look for a house...and wait for a baby.

Nov 25th is now less than 3 weeks away. I'm ready any day this little girl is ready to come however!
