Better Late Than Never...

A week or so after I had been home with Brenner, Rusty mentioned that he had had a funny conversation with a co-worker. They were talking about Brenner and her new baby due soon and she mentioned her "Push Present" from her first baby. Now Rusty totally thought she made that term/ idea up and related that to me later that night. I happily informed him that Push presents were not a made up idea, and they even counted when the lady had a c/s delivery. I tried to refrain from asking where my present was, but I think the hormones got the best of me and I blurted it out anyways.

So Brenner is 5 weeks old now, and Rusty came through in a big way...

Better late than never, my Push Present showed up at my house Thursday night. We traded in the Tahoe I have had for 7 years and 99,871 miles and upgraded to a brand spanking new Suburban. I have been dying for bucket seats and cargo room and this fit the bill. It has all the bells and whistles-even heated and cooled seats, XM radio --the works. I even got them to put my Tahoe's custom wheels and tires on it. I am pretty sure I need to practice parking in an empty parking lot for a while, and forget about backing up even with that camera thing... I am so excited to have a new ride. Thanks Honey! I think this clears the slate for all THREE boys' push gifts!

Also this week my sister Robyn flew down with my niece Audrey to help out and visit. This was the first time Rhonda and Chelli's kids had met Auds and Robyn met Talia. It was fun. We had the whole gang over for dinner, the four sisters went to BJ's for dinner, we watched SYTYCD, held fussy teething toddlers and a VERY colicky baby and had such a nice time. She even cooked for me, let me nap, and did the dishes. I miss her already! This photo of her and B3 show his new personality. He is C-R-A-N-K-Y. We are trying to figure out if he is lactose intolerant like Berk was or if it is something else. Whew, all I know is feel free to drop by and relieve me of my holding duty, because my arms are toast. And yes, I have a sling, but that hurts my back and he still cries...

Rochelle, Robyn, Rhonda & I

My sisters and I with our "babies". Gabrielle is 11, Audrey and Talia are 1 and Brenner.

Oh, did you catch that my sister's names all start with an "R" and mine doesn't? Don't worry, I'm not bitter, and I don't feel left out. And there is NO correlation between that and my boys all having to have "B" names what so ever.

Ok, maybe a little, but that's a whole 'nother blog post.
