Bath Time

Since Day 1, Russell has enjoyed his bath time. If he is crying (which isn't very often anyway), and we put him in the bath, he immediately quiets. He sticks out his tongue, puts his hand in a fist and into his mouth. So cute. This just captured him so accurately, I couldn't resist.

The Happy Family of 3

This is us on Mother's Day. Russell is 6 weeks and 4 days. Look at those BIG feet! He's already in size 3-6month socks and size 1 shoe and those are getting small. He is taking after his dad for sure. Size 16 here we come....

My First Mother's Day

We celebrated on Saturday at Barry and Vicki's house. Brian smoked meat all day on Saturday. He smoked brisket (sp?) and pork shoulder. And made his own BBQ sauce. Yumm-O!!! Greg made broccoli salad that was d-lish. And Barry topped off the night with homemade strawberry shortcake. My britches were a bit tight as we drove home, but well worth it! Oh, and Brian made (from scratch) hamburger buns. The poor guy was up either changing diapers, feeding Russell or "stoking the fire" since 3:30 am. He was giving me a Mother's Day break and killing himself in the process! What a guy, as my mom would say.

We had the pleasure of Russell's Great Great Grandmother join us as well. She just moved here from Sisters, Oregon. We had such a lovely evening, I can't wait to do it again next year. Thanks for the yummy food and especially for cleaning up!
