I haven't been posting because I've been at my mom's and as much as I've wanted to, it's been crazy busy around here. Even now I should be sleeping, but I really want to show you some pictures and type a couple words.
The reason I'm here:

My newest sweet baby niece, Addison Day, was born on Monday afternoon.

,
My sister Megan, baby niece Mady, Me, my sister Lindsay, baby Addison and the mom/grandma of us all.
Everything went smoothly and quickly. Go Lindsay and new baby. That night the new family moved to their room and we all took them a nutritious meal from McDonalds and used my tablet to Skype with Danny and Hannah, still home in Lawrence.

The next day Megan and I visited the hospital and tried the "cocoon" my mom made on the baby. It wasn't quite big enough, but still cute. She's fixed it now but we keep forgetting to take pictures.


Old baby had some leftovers for a snack.

Yummy lunch of random goodies.

In the mean time there are the puppies. My mom is fostering a Weimeriner mix and her puppies. There used to be 6. Today she had to rush one to the vet after she noticed strange spots on one's face, and more worrisome, big bumps on his neck. The pup was sluggish, not really moving much or playing like the others. We were both wildly worried and when I put him in the basket for her to take to the vet I was sure his he wasn't long for this world. Turns out, since he was the runt, he had just been too chewed on and beaten up by his much bigger siblings. The bumps were abcesses. The vet fixed him up and found a new home for just that pup, so he could be hand fed and given medicine until he's bigger and better. Then he might come back to his family, or might not. The big news is that he will be fine. Horray puppy. But how sad for him for now. He must have been so miserable.

This morning after my sister Megan had to go substitute teach, I assembled several nights of crockpot meals for Lindsay and Brad to eat for the next week. We snuck over to her house and hid them in the freezer for them to find when they got home from the hospital. Very fun! I made a pot roast, a creamy chicken mix, an Asian chicken mix, a Mexican chicken mix and an Italian chicken mix. I don't know if it'll be all good, but I know it'll be easy and that's the point.
While Megan was teaching and my mom was at the vet in Joplin, I babysat the baby girl. Since it was 70 degrees here, we played outside and I took a bunch of pictures with RetroCamera on my phone.





New baby came home this afternoon and I got to spend the evening helping out while new Daddy took him mom home. I took this picture while I was rocking her. I am in so much love.
