Livermore Deer

Taking a break from the baby posts, Gram Richard has been watching these deer from her windows in Livermore. They have been visiting her house daily, browsing on low branches. Hopefully the snow will melt a bit and expose some grass for them. Despite the deep snow, they look very healthy. I suspect they were yarding nearby and have found that the thin strips of woods around the field and orchards are safe places to feed during the day because they are so close to houses and roads. Coyotes are less likely to go into these areas because they are so wary.

Home Again, Home Again

Jen and Paige came home from the hospital today. Everything is going really well. Gram Richard watched Avery this morning while Jen was discharged and stayed for a short visit. We are all looking forward to some time at home together.

Paige Lynne

Paige Lynne arrived today at 10:13 a.m. She weighed 7lbs, 8oz. We were lucky enough to have visits from Gram and Grampa Fiddle, Gram Richard and Amy. Avery came by for a visit this evening and is absolutely smitten with little Paige. Jen is doing very well as is Paige. We have posted some pictures here for everyone to see. My sister also posted her great photos here. We will keep you all posted.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone.

Sir Avery, the Cardboard Knight

For those of you checking in for a baby update: no developments yet.

One More Week

Here is today's picture of Baby. One more week and you will all know the results of hubster's polls... boy or girl as well as name. I'm scheduled for a repeat section next Wednesday, unless I go into labor on my own before that (which I'm really hoping for a trial of labor!). At the latest, we'll have baby next Wednesday. We'll keep you posted.

Goodbye Curls!

When describing Avery's hair lately, the phrase "out of control" has been used more than occasionally. We decided to give him a haircut this evening. The clean-cut Avery is now back.

Happy Birthday!

We celebrated Avery's third birthday today. He especially enjoyed his Little Mermaid cake, that despite his Mom's best efforts, he chose himself. It was nice to have family together for Avery's special day.
