Is This Lainey's Fate?
Since our baby girl's arrival, my mom has found all sorts of fun pictures of me from my early months....mainly to compare her hair to what mine once was. This is me at 3 months old! Is she destined to have the same "do"?!

Home Sweet Home
We left the hospital on Monday at 1:00 or so and arrived home to a full house. Steve and Britney and Brad had gone to great lengths to wash sheets and towels and to clean everything. It was a real treat to return to our home in such great shape.
Carter greeted us with wonderful enthusiasm as always. He couldn't wait to see his baby sister. He's already protective of her....even more so than with Jack and in an already apparent big brotherly way. He even warned Trysten at the hospital....after T simply said he wanted to hold her....."Trysten, it's not like you can be all over her."
Our first night was chaotic and we were given a good dose of what it will be like to juggle two, and that was with Britney and Steve's help!!!! Jack hasn't been sleeping well and Lainey is getting familiar with her new environment.....so needless to say, a strong cup of coffee was in order upon waking.
We go in tomorrow morning for Lainey's first check up and then a busy week follows including Carter's first Religious Education class, Flag Football, and more.

Lainey, Lainey, Lainey
Well, it's all Lainey all the time around here right now. Steve, Britney and Brad have been in town helping out immensely with the boys. Blake and I have been at the hospital recovering and watching Lainey. Ready to go home tomorrow and we'll likely be dismissed in the morning. Our care has been wonderful, the hospital has been lovely mainly due to being brand new, and the doctors have been great. No complaints!
Steve and company have gone to great lengths to keep the boys busy during their stay. Jack was fussy the first couple of days, but thankfully took a turn for the better last night and was his usual goofy self today. They've been on the go.....to Estes Park Saturday afternoon and evening.....the ESPN Zone in Denver today for some football.
Both Trysten and Carter are playing flag football right now, so it's slightly easier to talk them into such events like the ESPN Zone. However, it's unlikely they spent more than 2 minutes watching a game because that would require they take some time off from annoying each other and consequently the people directly around them.
A few more pictures from our hospital stay....
Debbie with new baby Lainey.
And, her precious girls.
Lindsey LOVES babies, like most little girls.
Carter is so attentive to Lainey.

Lainey arrived one day before Pa's birthday. What a gift!
All the cousins.
Not too many closer than Trysten and Carter.

Day 2
A few photos from our second day with Lainey.
So, so little!
When we put her inside her crib, she just quietly looks around and then eventually falls asleep.
Blake is taking charge and handling things beautifully as always. As with all of our children, he was the first to change their diaper, first to feed them, first to dress them, etc.
She doesn't look so little here.
Pretty sunset over the mountains. (view from our hospital room)
