Owen & Sam

yesterday

Yesterday Owen and I walked over to our community playground and played for about 20 minutes. The first few times we took him to swing, he wasn't that interested, but now he smiles and laughs and seems to really enjoy it.



A little while later there was a knock at the door and to my surprise was this cutie, Brionna, her mom and their new puppy, Abbie. Owen enjoyed getting kisses from her.

"look ma no hands"

Guess who's on the other side...

If you guessed SAM, you're right.

Welcome Baby Fisher!!!

The phone rang around 6am Friday morning and Danny jumped up to answer it. My heart was racing as I was thinking something was wrong. After all, people don't call to chat at 6am. Danny, in his most serious voice, said the following....ok, sure, uh huh, absolutely, ok.... I am still wondering who he's talking to and what is going on. Finally he mentions something about milk, day care and car seats. Whew! I knew then Kelly was having her baby and they needed us to watch Charlotte. At this point, I was beside myself with excitement.

Kelly and Koli dropped Charlotte off around 7am and Owen woke-up shortly after. The two played and ate their breakfast as well as a watched a little Curious George. Around 8:30am I started getting Charlotte ready for school. I wasn't too sure what I was doing. I had to dress her and do her hair (keep in mind I have a boy). Charlotte was a doll and was very patient with me.

Kelly called around 3:30pm to tell me Barrett Koli Fisher was born at 2:30pm. He was 7 lbs 14oz and 19 inches long with a head full of dark hair.

I stopped by the hospital to see the happy family on Saturday. I picked-up a cute shirt for the little guy at the mall. Kelly and Koli wanted the sex to be a surprise, so they are in need of lots baby blue!
Here is BIG sister Charlotte with her new baby brother. She was sure he was going to be a girl. Regardless, she is going to be the best and most proud big sister!
I got to hold the little cutie while Kelly and Koli ate their dinner.
As I was leaving I talked to a nurse in the elevator about the drop in barometric pressure and how it brought out all the babies. She said the hospital had a record weekend of births. I believe 27 babies were born yesterday. Kelly had to deliver in a post-op room rather than a delivery room. She didn't even have a door just a curtain separating her from everyone else. She said she kept hearing another mother-to-be, who was next to her, throwing up. What a story.

Congratulations Fisher family!!!

And a Happy Birthday to my wonderful father-in-law, Dan!

If I only knew what he was trying to say...

be back soon...

We're going on a vacation and to a wedding. See ya in a week:)

Cross your fingers for NO hurricanes on the east coast (and minimal rain).
