Olivia is finally wanting to hold Gabe and at least acknowledges him now. She's a great big sister.

We have a chunker on our hands...6 weeks old!

Gabriel loves to sleep in our arms

Gabe

I'm working on getting a lot more pictures up from the last month, but that is taking awhile, so here are a few from the last couple days. He's 11 pounds!

New Baby!

Gabriel William has arrived! Not much time to blog, but here are the details:
I was able to do a VBAC, which is what we had been wanting--no c-section!

Bill's Birthday

We started the day with a morning trip to the coast. One of Bill's favorite spots is Rancho Palos Verdes, where he had a student/faculty retreat this spring. We got drinks at Starbucks and then walked along a path above the water. Olivia is enjoying her own apple juice.

Bill's birthday cake, made by our great neighbor and friend, Becky

Olivia wanted Daddy to have a balloon.

Our friend Berry (a classmate of Bill's) gave us tickets to the Angels/Mariners game and watched Olivia for us as well!

We had seats in the 4th row along the left baseline. It was sooooo fun!!

We had hotdogs for dinner!

The Angels won 7-6 in a close game!

A great end to Bill's Birthday!

Olivia and her friend Alec. He lives next door and turns 2 in August. They have a great time together and Olivia is learning to share her toys.

Come with me, Alec. "I have to show you something." is one of Olivia's new phrases.

Cooking up something good.
