Meet Baby Maeve!

While Grandma P. was busy doing this:
Loyd and Xavier "fishing" at the neighborhood boat launch
Xavier giving Loyd a ride around the backyard
Xavier is a crime fighting, dinosaur shooting butterfly.  Its a very manly costume.  Careful, his magic wands shoot! 
 Dustin and I were busy doing this:
Maeve at 1 day old
Dustin very happily holding his new baby girl.
Loyd meeting his new baby sister, Maeve, for the first time at the hospital.
 Now we are all busy doing this:
Rebekah holding her little sister.  What a surprise to come home from school to discover a new sister!
Grandma P. helping Xavier hold Maeve.  He loves his baby sister and is enjoying his new title of "Big Brother."
Catching some sleep whenever we can!

Welcome to the family baby Maeve!

Funny quotes about the baby this week:
Loyd:  "The baby doesn't have any teeth!"
Mom:  "No, she doesn't have teeth yet."
Loyd:  "How is she going to eat crackers?" - very concerned
Mom:  "She can't eat crackers yet.  She can only drink milk."
Loyd:  "Mom, can she drink ketchup yet?"

Mom:  "Hi Bekah!  We're bringing the baby home tomorrow.  Won't that be fun!"
Rebekah: "Sure, but don't forget to bring the tablet home too!"

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school.

John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
