A few things happened right before Adell was born. I realize now how charmed our life was--I could leave the house with out first breathing into a paper bag for 20 minutes.
The week before Adell was born, Will taught three chemistry lessons in each of the kids' classes. He taught the kids about matter, atoms, electrons, protons and showed them a few chemical reactions. All three of the lessons were very successful in both the classes. Wyatt's Kindergarten teacher said she learned more in Will's lessons than she did in her high school chemistry classes. Now, Will is very popular when he picks up the kids after school.
A week before Adell was born, Clare was my baby. She could fall asleep in the car and I would carry her inside for bed. Now she gets shaken awake and told to walk in because my arms are full of car seat. (I really like the colors in this picture.)
A week before Adell was born, Wyatt spent a little time playing his DS, games on the computer and watching cartoons. Now--well I don't really want to confess how much time my kids spend in front of TV/Computer screens now...
Speaking of my boy. He always has food on his face. It is a survival tactic--he always has something to eat. He also has a knack for making toys out of random household items. On the left: Wyatt made a squid out of trash bag twist ties. On the right: Wyatt carefully balanced a butter knife, spoon and fork on a platter holder we borrowed for the luncheon after Lorien's baptism. I think he is creative.
We finished out the Stanford Football season just before Adell was born. (Actually, the last game was after she was born.) We watched the Stanford-Cal game at Dave and Angela's house. They were out of town and we did not get the cable channel the game was showing on. So, we went to their empty house and watched the game. (Is that weird?) The kids watched most of the game but then spent the last quarter playing with their cousin's toys.
At the last football game I stayed home with Adell and Will took the kids to the game. As the game ended Will took the kids down to rush the field. They got their picture taken with a player and got to be on TV!
And last, this is how I looked ten days before Adell was born. I do not miss it.

amazing how "easy" it was before the arrival of each new baby! your kids sure are getting big! crazy huh! oh and the not missing the pregnant belly....I too feel the same way. I laid on my belly on the floor and it felt WONDERFUL!!
Had to laugh at this. My boys used to be able to play Wii 3 days a week. Now it's endless. It's a don't ask, don't tell policy around here. Though Ragu is 7 months old I'm beginning to take note of this and wondering when I will have the energy to care.
