a picture from the first week, before he gained any weight. i'm the camera-happy one in the family, and no one takes pictures of me & the baby, so this was the best i could do for now.

blake gained ANOTHER 5 ounces!!!

Jean is a most excellent help with the baby. She's been here since noon yesterday & she's just as useful as her older sister. I think I'll keep them.

She thinks this picture brings out her evil.

Stephen took the bus to see us this afternoon. See how much fun it is to visit our refurbished basement & hold a sleepy Sprout?
