announcement (base 4)

Twenty years ago (please don't do that math), Jeff and I "graduated" into high school.

Four years later, we graduated into college.

Four years later, we had a big year of graduation, wedding, and, within a year, purchasing a new home.

Four years later, K was born.

Four years later, another winter olympic baby, little g was born in our home....


.... little g turns 4 soon.


We've been feeling the 4 year twinge, the 4 year itch.


We started having conversations, long ones, debating the pros and cons:

I mean, both kids are potty-trained! They sleep thorough the night! We can go where ever and do whatever we please, when we please! We all fit in the car so nicely!

Do we really want to start over again?!

but....

both girls are old enough to help out (even though, of course, mom will be doing most of the work), and they will love the challenge of a new face around the house. Little g may have a little trouble adjusting to the new one getting so much attention, but she'll adjust, and love him, too.


We've been planning now for quite a while, but we're finally ready to announce our little guy's arrival...











please welcome Pippin,
the newest little character around here!

birthday: 6 August, 2009
8 weeks old




(wait. what were you thinking?!)

  1. CONGRATULATIONS on your newest family member!!!! =) =)

    He is so adorable! Love his name too! May you have a wonderful settling in time enjoying his new puppiness. All too soon they grow up! Oh wait, you want him to grow up and not have to wake up every 3 hours in the middle of the night? =)

    Can't wait to come over next week and meet the little guy! (G is practically busting that we can't come today!)

    PS. Who knew when we teased each other a couple of years ago about we being the ones to have another kid and you being the ones to get a dog...=)

  2. VERY cute! I hope Pippin (GREAT name by the way) doesn't keep you awake too many nights. They adjust quickly and are so much fun!
