Nothing like being woke up and having your picture taken. Brooks, this picture is for you - gotta love the afternoon nap.
If I only had let the video run another 5 seconds we would have had a great video. Immediately after I stopped recording Connor's hands slipped and he twisted and fell on his side making a huge splash. I thought he was going to cry, but he said "Was that a big splash, daddy?"

We we're trying to get a picture of Connor's nose. He had a good fall and scraped it in four places. I thought I had a good video of how it happened, but it didn't turn out. Who doesn't like the camo Hensel Phelps hat?


Here she is fnally getting lipstick put on. Immediately after this they gave all the girls cupcakes with chocolate icing - the makeup was not icing proof!

Marisa went to a Salon Birthday party for a friend of hers (Morgan). Since Susan was still recovering from having Tyler it was my job to take her to the party. 8 Mom's and 1 Dad! Two hours later Marisa came home looking like this. I did however utter a series of words I will never say again to Marisa. At first she refused to get into the high chair and allow the ladies to work on her hair and face. After about 20 min of 'No, no, no' I finally said "Marisa, you WILL get your hair done and let them put on makeup." It got a big laugh from all the moms.

This is Tyler at 10 days old. He is definately the smallest and skinniest of the three. His legs barely have any meat on them! He is doing very well so far. He is a good eater and a decent sleeper. Connor and Marisa are adjusting well - Marisa often slips up and refers to Tyler as 'the baby in mommy's belly'. That was Tyler's name for nine months so it will take some time to change!
