Heimburg family invasion (week 8)

The whole family came to Asheville this past week. Vera and Deak were the stars of the show, and mom and dad both got a little break form their day-to-day parental responsibilities. Much fun was had by all.



The trips to the "cool-cool" park received their own slide show:

Week Six and Seven...Already!

Remember when we used to blog each week of Deacon's young life. Well, Vera's days have been just as memorable even if they are not chronicled in such detail. I can't believe that she will be seven weeks old this week! In the last week she seems to have grown a lot. She has longer periods of alertness and can already hold up her head. We are starting to see little smiles on her adorable face (but they are still hard to catch a picture of).



Amma and Pappa are visiting this week and Josh and Amy will be joining us soon...so stay tuned!

Are you feelin' it?

Everything is happening. The weather is changing, kids are growing, and grandparents are dropping in like we're in the neighborhood (and we wish we were)!

This past week we had the grandparents Lombardi, Papa and Weezie, in for a visit. They brought lots of presents for Deacon and Vera from our family in Ohio. Thank you to everyone for thinking of us!

Vera is now at five weeks. She's just doin' her baby thing, and that's what makes us happy (As much as perpetually poopy diapers and intermittent slumber interruptions can make one happy), and you'll see that she's quickly learned to keep up with her big brother when it comes to hamming it up in front of the camera.

To top it all off, we've just wrapped up a jam-packed weekend. Saturday was a "Proper American BBQ" hosted by the always cordial Alday family, and Sunday we made it out to the old ball game with the Asheville Tourists, our neighborhood Single A ball team. Unfortunately we left our camera at home when we went to the game, but there's plenty of the rest.

Up next: the Heimburg family!

A visit from Amma and Deak's #2

Amma has come and gone. We couldn't have made it through this week without her! We miss her already and can't wait till she and Boppa return in a couple weeks.

Fortunately, round two with Weezie and Papa is just around the corner. We hope to see Grandma and Grandpa Lombardi before the end of this week!

Amy Alday has gotten us the complete Vera Clair photo shoot. You can view them here.

Deacon's second birthday party was a success and we've continued the celebration throughout the weekend. The best part is that not only did our big boy turn two this weekend, he also made number two in the potty. Mommy and daddy are very excited.

Happy Birthday Deacon!

Our baby boy is turning two today! What a wonderful two years it has been.
