We got to keep the Nagel boys one day and it just so happened that Bill had to put some stuff up in the attack. You have to have a ladder for this ordeal but there is lots of space up there and the boys couldn't resist taking a peak and helping Papa.
Here is the new fake vent cover for the outside of the house we finally got up. I designed it and Bill did the hard part cutting it out, painting it, and installing it. I did hold the ladder though and it was tougher then you might think cause I got bit up by mosquitos.(how in the heck to you spell that?)
This was the other side of the house. It was a bit smaller in size and you can only see it from the patio. They just finish off the little house nicely don't you think?
Now for the good stuff. Anna FINALLY going into labor. Here is Adeline on the way to the birthing center.
A little blurry in more ways then one. Here's Anna (in labor) on the way too.
Here's the birthing room. Anna working through labor and Stratton and Adeline just hanging out. That is the tub Anna delivered in. And Adeline below checking it out.
Adeline liked watching the midwife fill it up. I think she wanted to jump in too.
I left out all the in between stuff and voila! Here is our strapping Grayson at 10 pounds 1 1/2 ounces. 21 1/2 inches long. He won't be in new born sizes for but a few days to say the least.
Adeline got a new baby too. We called her baby Lucy. She just loved her.
One of the 1st pics of Adeline holding Grayson. I am not sure she knew what to make of him.
And that's proud Papa holding our # 10 gbaby. I beat you Mom! (well I can't actually take much credit but who would have thunk it eh?)
Happy Birthday Grayson!!! August 29, 2012 Welcome to our family!
Thank you for the update. The boys look so cute helping Papa. I think it was a good idea for Adeline to get a new baby as well. Having a good time with Rick and Sandy. We went to Mall of America. Not to shop but to see the sheer size. It was a good day although a long trip. Talk to you soon. Love always.
ReplyDeleteI love the house vents and the pics of the boys in the attic with Dad. And of course, Grayson too. I was thinking maybe I should be jealous as there's no mention of Tyler's birth and that was waaaaay back in April. Then I noticed you only posted 4 x's in Jan, 3 x's in Feb, once in April, and once in August. So I guess if you DO make it to one of your posts- they person should be quite honored!! hahaha
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great pictures. I bet Adeline was just as happy with her new baby as all of us were with Grayson. He sure is a beautiful baby. He looks to be at least 2 months old already. Glad all went well with the delivery.. You did beat me with the 10 but lets wait until after they are all grown and see if you can beat me with Great Grandchildren!! I'll go over that with you in the heavens beyond!! See what we have to look forward to now. I know I sure am one lucky grandmom and nothing can best that Thanks to all of you.!!!
ReplyDeleteI miss Lynn & Steve but I know they are having a great time and am so happy they are well on their way and enjoying everything. They sure do deserve this nice trip.
I like the new decorations on your house--you did a good job designing them and Bill putting them up. They look good!
Thanks for the nice update!! Love to you all and keep those cameras busy. Gram
