We love to wake up and talk to each other in mom's bed every morning. We have a good chat every night before he goes to sleep all night. He's charming, witty, and simply adorable.

Diary Queen
When the box arrived and the clothes were on we heard the following:
Grace: I can't believe it! I'm finally a fairy queen. I always wanted to be a fairy queen.
Anne: I'm a Dairy Queen! I'm a Dairy Queen! Look me....I'm a Dairy Queen!

Our New Pet....KEVIN
We enjoy reading Shel Silverstein poems and there is one is particular that makes me laugh because I'm the kind of parent that doesn't want a pet in the house.
Hot Dog by Shel Silverstein
I have a hot dog for a pet,
The only kind my folks would let
Me get.
He does smell sort of bad
And yet,
He absolutely never gets
The sofa wet.
We have a butcher for a vet,
The strangest vet you ever met.
Guess we're the weirdest family yet,
To have a hot dog for a pet.
The girls really want a pet. Edwin and I are glad we rent and our lease prohibits pets. So we had to come up with some kind of solution since Anne is adamant that she will clean up the bunny poop and Grace will pick up the doggie poop. After watching the Pixar movie UP! the girls wanted to have a big Kevin for a pet. KEVIN is a pet I can manage.
Kevin is approximately 4 1/2 feet tall. He lives on the living room wall. Grace and Anne both drew pictures of Kevin with Doug, Mr. Fredrickson, Russell and the mean man. We greet Kevin every morning and feed him chocolate for breakfast. Occasionally we are caught patting his tummy. He is a wonderful addition to our family and our home decor.
The happy artists/new pet owners!

We might be weird, but Kevin is no Shel Silverstein hot dog.
2 Months
James is two months old and still growing at a tremendous rate. We went to the doctor yesterday for his check-up and found some outstanding numbers.
Weight: 14 lbs 1 oz
Height: 25 in
Head: 16 1/3 in
The comparison between James and the girls follows
Anne (2mo check-up)
Weight: 11 lbs 3oz
Height: 24 in
Head: 15 1/8 in
Grace (2mo check-up)
Weight: 11lbs 9 oz
Height: 24 1/4 in
Head: 15 in
So there's our little man in comparison to his sisters. He's a growing boy, but no match to his sisters at this time.
(Hat and booties were knitted by Grandma Butler. Thanks Grandma!)
This is James with our friend Jackson. James was born two weeks before Jackson and was three pounds heavier at birth. Ah, we love babies!! In every size!
