Awesome!

Grandma was trying really hard make sure that Brie and Gavin didn't get too jealous of all the attention that the new baby was getting . . . and boy did she succeed! Not only did Brie get to have her best friend (and cousin) Katie to do things with, and enough new princess outfits to last them a whole week, but Gavin got the most awesomest present in the whole world . . . a Firetruck. For the first ten minutes he sat there pushing all the buttons and Vrroomming it around and he just kept saying "Awesome! Cool! Wow!" over and over again. Then he picked up his other best buddy, his teddy bear, and carried the truck and Teddy around for another ten minutes showing them to everyone and saying "Awesome!!!" He is just so dang cute!

Babies Are Like Heaven

Jude Owen Krusinger is finally here ~ and we love it! Not only is he fun for everyone, but mommy doesn't have to be pregnant anymore, and . . . well . . . you just can't be that. Brie is loving the new baby and asks to hold him every five minutes . . . and 10 seconds later she is done and off playing again. Gavin is more shy and mostly likes to look at him, or try and give him his binky, or convince Jude that cars are the coolest thing in the world. Here are just a few photos of Jude's first week at home.
