Halloween 2006

This Week We....

This week was Noah's first week home. Adjusting to life with two kids has had its challenges, but so far so good. I had a bit of a reality check on our first outing in the car on Halloween, when I realized that getting two kids into carseats is not as easy as I thought it would be. I suppose it will be easier when I get more practice, but right now the thought of it scares me shitless. Angus is handling things really well, though. Today, Angus actually kissed the baby for the first time. Unprompted and out of the blue, he just walked up and gave Noah three kisses while we were at the library. And the other night, he said "Don't be sad, Noah." when the baby was crying. It was the first real full sentence Angy has said so far, and it was a great first...so compassionate and sweet. But, on the flip side, Angus has demanded that both my mom and Tony "take baby to mama" so he could have their undivided big-kid playtime attention. It is as if he has accepted that I have to hold the kid, but he refuses to give up his Daddy or his Nanna. Halloween was good....Angus was a skeleton and we took the kids to Hanover Avenue's Trick or Treat Extravaganza. Angus didn't really trick or treat, but he had a good time taking it all in. And Noah seemed to have a pretty cool 1 week birthday.

Baby Fresh

Sherrie and Marie came by to meet the new Brown.


Later, we had birthday cupcakes in honor of Noah's arrival.

Welcome to Earth, Noah

Tony and I brought a new human to Planet Earth on October 24th, 2006 at 3:41PM. Noah Rousey weighed in 7 lbs 4 oz and measured at 20 inches long. He is healthy, beautiful, as sweet as can be, and the most mellow little man I have ever met. Angus has been handling it all very well. He seems very interested in his baby brother and hasn't shown any signs of jealousy yet. Let's hope it stays that way. Tony and I are still trying to absorb the fact that we have 2 children. I guess that means we are grown-ups or something.

The Deuce

The new look for fall is big up top, wide across, and full in the middle. To get this look, shown here on Mrs. Brown, simply practice unsafe sex during ovulation, and then stand by and wait for the results. The look does have its drawbacks...but who cares when you are looking this good!

Supersize Me

Four days to go. Then the family dynamic will shift from a three to a four piece meal. My first helping was so darn good that I am ready for seconds.
