Sister & Brothers

 I already showed you this picture of the boys loving their sister, but I have a few more.

 Josiah loves helping to take care of Eleonora.  He is a great biggest brother.

 And Caleb is loving his new role of big brother.

He loves giving 'smooches' and was pretty sad to be a little sick last week, since it meant he had to try to keep his kisses to himself.

It looks like Eleonora is already giving smooches of her own to her sweet brother.

Caleb & the Groceries

Caleb loves to help carrying in groceries.

I've never quite agreed with calling this a 'lazy man's load.'

 Caleb looks like a strong, helpful man to me!

And here, just for fun, we have Caleb stuck in a drum!

Happy Spring Weekend!

Four Days Old

 Chris has loved snuggling this baby right from the start.

And she is a fan, too!

Eleonora's Birth Day

Eleonora Marie was born on February 18 at 10:57 a.m.

 An ultrasound the day before predicted a weight of 10 lbs, 14 oz,

so we were grateful for our dainty 9 lb, 7 oz-er!

 Gramma, Poppa, and the proud big brothers were our first visitors.

 She was born one day after her due date,

 and just like that, 

our streak of having babies on their due dates is over!  

 She borrowed Lydia's cute hospital outfit for the occasion.

And it looks like Lydia approved of her new cousin!

One Month

It's  hard to believe that Eleonora  has been with us for one month already!

 I thought that I didn't care much about babies, and that I just didn't want to run out of fun toddlers and kids...

 But guess what.

 I LOVE this baby!

 And I think maybe her brothers do, too!
