Elli & Brenna

Friday Tracie & Brenna came up to spend the day so, Tracie & I took the opportunity to dress the girls in their matching outfits and capture "the moment"! The girls are almost exactly 2 months apart.

Elizabeth Kay

Well, you can definately tell life has been a little busy here in the Remacle household since I haven't given any updates in a few weeks! Elizabeth Kay arrived on June 18th at 8:41pm. She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs 13.5 oz and was 19.5 inches long. She has a little scuff off brown hair. She is the apple of her Daddy's eye and already has her big brothers wrapped around her little finger. As for Mommy....she's already my little princess and doesn't tolerate playing dress-up. :-) Life has definately changed in our world and we are loving it (despite lack of sleep). The boys have officially been moved to their new bedroom downstairs and are enjoying the amount of room to play. Nicholas has taken the role of big brother very seriously and is my little helper. He loves to take care of her when she starts fussing and it's a very common thing to hear "It's okay, big brother's here". He also is puke & binky patrol in the backseat and loves to give step by step commentaries on her puke, facial expressions, or crying. Sean is still adjusting to being a big brother and the middle child. He helps out once in a while by giving her the binky or her monkey. He has started to really like to hold her and pet her hair or cheek. He's very gentle with her and it's very sweet to see him grin up at us while looking at her. However, she is definately a Daddy's girl and cuddles right up in his arms when he's home. She can be spitting mad and crying up a storm and all you have to do is give her to Daddy and she's calm as can be. We are loving having our little Elizabeth here.

Updates on Remacle Life

Well, life has been interesting around here. Ray's been busy working, getting the basement ready for the boys, and trying to keep dibs on my status throughout the days. The boys have been living the summer life and have been busy on the slip & slide, playing in their pool, and just enjoying summer. They are signed up for the reading program at the library and we've been going to storytime once a week. I'm hoping to get Nicholas signed up for swimming lessons here in a few weeks and he will be attending Vacation Bible School through our church right after the 4th of July and is very much looking forward to that. I've just been traveling back & forth to Moscow for dr appointments and a few "Soda Teasers" complete with false labor & visits to Gritman. I have decided that I'm not going to the hospital anymore unless my water breaks...so, I guess if this kid wants to come out, he/she had better break my water first or Nicholas will be delivering! :-) Other than that, we've just been veggin' out, reading, playing outside, and livin' life!
