Practicing for three

The boys and I got a chance to go visit miss Sloane (and Shannon and Brian of course) today. For the most part, they were both great with her, and even got to hold her! And to be fair, Sloane was great with both of them too! 

Arjen didn't skip a beat before asking if he could hold her. Poor kid has been waiting her whole life (two weeks)!

Getting a kiss from Gus. 

Getting a kiss from the bump. 

Welcome baby Sloane!!

On Sept 12, Sloane Marie Crossman joined our family. We were able to take the boys to the hospital to meet her. A few pics from that afternoon:

Not loving her first bath

Arjen was very curious about the new baby 

And very gentle too!

Gus was curious for maybe 2 seconds

All the ladies. :)

We couldn't be happier for Shannon and Brian and their newest family member! Thank you for sharing her with us!! Time to pay you all another visit...these pics already seem outdated!!

Go Badgers!

We celebrated the college football season kickoff last weekend with an impromptu family gathering to watch the first Wisconsin game. Good thing the company and the food was great, 'cause the game?? Not so much. 

Getting set up for dinner on the patio. 

The boys needed to get a closer look at the score. Didn't believe their eyes. 

We also did an early celebration for Grandpa Wayne's birthday. 

Baba and Gus cozied up for a bedtime story. 

Big and Bigger

Ha! Probably the only time she'll ever be bigger! And yes, this means there will be baby cousins come Feb 2014!!

Gus the builder

This kid has quite the imagination and ability to think outside the blocks. He built a road this morning. With a gate. And a bridge (the part over the tape measure). Love watching him play. :)
