Meanwhile back on the farm...

The kids recently enjoyed a nice holiday trip to my parent's house.  They had a BLAST to say the least and even a sliced open knee that resulted in an evening run to the ER and several stitches for V (who is quite proud of his 'ouchie' actually and has to announce this fact to anyone and everyone) couldn't put a damper on their fun.

Meanwhile, back on the farm...We (as in L and I) were busy busy beavers. We emptied out our old bedroom and cleaned the basement in preparation for the electrician starting to wire the basement and what will someday be my kitchen, we spent time planning (and replanning and replanning yet again) our kitchen floor plan, and I knocked a few things off my last-minute To-Do-Before-Baby list.

And lastly, we went to the hospital and had our baby.  Little miss Rita Jill arrived early (though not in the wee morning hours like her older siblings) July 2nd and screamed quite loudly (well as loudly as a newborn can) to let us know she wasn't pleased.  She had a busy morning then with her first bath, meeting her uncle A (who happened to be passing through town and had a few hours to kill), and just taking in her new world. All went well and we were home the next day. V and A are just in love with her and I'm finding I don't have an easy chair big enough to accommodate a 4.5 year old, a nearly 3 year old, me and a hungry little girl.

Little miss bright eyes
