I like hearing funny things.

This morning while I was nursing Gus, Griff was playing with a toy semi and police car. He was driving the police car in and out of the back of the semi.
I asked him, "where are you going?"
"To a garage sale," he said.
That's my boy!

I called Grandma Val to tell her, and she replied, "well I taught you something right!"

We're havin' a baby!

Arriving at the hospital at 5:30am after my water broke at 2:20am.



2:08pm- a baby boy!!
August Richard 6lbs. 8oz. 19 inches long.
It was such a different experience from my first labor. The nice part was that after I delivered Gus, they put him right on my chest, and he stayed there for 20 minutes. Then I nursed him for nearly an hour, then they cleaned him up and weighed him. It was just wonderful. We had a lot of quiet time as a family.




Daddy and his second son.





Just had myself a little baby. So happy!








Our first evening with our little boy.







Griff meeting August for the first time.





Proud big cousin Noah.

Cousins!! I think they will get into a lot of trouble together.



Gus's first bath.






Taking a snooze.




















Grandpa Steve holding August for the first time.



Proud Grandparents! Gus makes #4.



Waiting to leave the hospital. Ben looks a little tired.




Our tiny baby in his carseat leaving the hospital. He barely fit in it! We had to call the nurse into the room as we were leaving to help make some extra adjustments on the backside of the carseat because it just wasn't tight enough!





Ahhh, at home.









I'm not done yet.

I still have many more pictures to post of our growing family. Look again later this week for more!

Griffin feeling like just HAS to sit by Gus. I love it.



Kissing.



Out cold. There is nothing like looking at a baby asleep on your chest. Precious.




One of my favorite pictures of Griffin as a baby.



And August.










Gus is just so tiny that I feel the need to document how little this boy is. I just never thought that I would have small babies! It is still weird to me.



Curled up in my arms. He is such a peanut.




Our Godchild Miley holding Gus. She was pretty excited!




Griff and Cooper.

Griffin is about 9 months older than Cooper, but nearly 2 pounds less. He is a big, solid boy.



Getting some sun, hoping to get rid of a little jaundice.










I love to watch Griff play. Especially with his trucks, tractors and lawnmower. It is amazing to see his imagination at work.






Gus at one week old.





Yaawwwwn.







Brothers.
