Green cousins?

We enjoyed some fun time with Darren's brother & family last weekend. Here's beautiful Abby with her beautiful mama. Since she & Teresa are just a few weeks apart, it was fun to see how alike/different they are already! They definitely shared a shoe fascination & a desire for precisely what the other was playing with at the time. I tried to get some good pictures of all the kids together... well, you know how that goes. :) Which is your favorite?

Thanks for a fun visit!

Child of God

Our beautiful new niece, Abigail Loretta,

was baptized this weekend. She let out a squawk right after Father touched her mouth, "Jesus made the deaf to hear & dumb to speak...". Right on cue!
Darren is her godfather!
Our cowgirl at the hootenanny afterwards.
(I wish the other picture had turned out...
all of the kids were parading around in a variety of hats. Hilarious!)

A Big Day

This Sunday was a big family day. We all went to 9:00 Mass together, ate at the KC pancake feed, played at home, & then headed up north for some more fun. First we went fishing at Green Grandpa's pond.
We didn't catch much... but weeds. Here's Andrew showing off his cricket lure.

Rebecca loved being out by the water. Teresa mainly snoozed.

Then we went to see our newest niece Abigail. What a doll! Here are the two cousins side by side.

Afterwards Daddy, Andrew, & Rebecca took a ride in the combine with Grandpa. Andrew had just spent two hours in there the day before but still loved it. Rebecca was on her first ride. She was fascinated! I hung out in the van with Teresa & chatted with Uncle Ron.

Finally we headed up to see Green Grandma for a while & pick up a cooler of meat. Ah, meat. It was so exciting to fill up the bottom of our deep freeze with it! (Wow, do I need to get out more?)

Girls, girls, girls

We joyfully welcome Abigail Loretta to the family! She was born last night & weighed in at 6 lbs 13 oz at 20 inches long. Congratulations, Dan, Andrea, Alaina, & Adam. We can't wait to come & meet her!

Congratulations, too, go out to friends Peter & Lori who welcomed Joy Marie on Wednesday morning. All these sweet little girls within three weeks of each other! I wonder how alike/different they'll be. : )
