Sunday Afternoon

Today was a lazy Sunday. It was so much fun to have Kyle, Jen & little Tessa come visit for the afternoon. McKenna loves her cousin Tessa maybe a little too much by the looks of the bear hug she has on little Tessa.

The Thatcher Grandbabies

Perfect Day for the Pool

What a beautiful day to fill up the pool. Charla, River, McKenna & I brought out the lawn chairs and filled up the pool. It was fun to watch McKenna enjoy herself in the pool.

I'm already tired!

Today's events:
Alarm goes off at 5:10am, Leave the house at 5:30am, 5:45am Ashley, McKenna & I visit Charla, Jade & River. 6:30am Leave for airport. 7:30am Drop off Ashley at the airport. 8:30am arrive back at Charla's house. Feed, bath, play, clean-up, play some more, lunch (McKenna had a blast with the peanut butter), bath again to get the peanut butter out of her hair. Finally its nap time! Yeah! I am taking advantage of the time and closing my eyes as well. And it is only 11am! I love this crazy crazy time.

The grandbabies.

It was so much fun all the grandbabies were in one place last night. I can't believe that only 18months ago we had only 1 grandbaby and now we have 3! McKenna isn't quite sure she is all that excited about River. Tessa is just a sweet little one. She is getting quite the little personality. She smiles all the time. Everytime I look at her I feel like I am looking at Kyle when he was a baby. Of course River's personality is yet to be seen but I am sure he will be just as fun as the other 2. Mark & I love being grandparents!

River Jade Andersen

River Jade Andersen

River entered the world at 4:39pm. He weighed in at 9lbs 3ozs & 20in long. We are so glad he is here and Charla did fantastic.

1:30pm Update

River is getting a little irritated that his cozy little world is being disturbed. Charla is certain that he would have stayed a few more weeks if it was up to him. Charla looks fantastic but is in active labor so the fun is really starting. Ashley & I are so glad we get to be here.

And sooo we wait!

Yeah! Ashley, Jade & I are anxiously awaiting the appearance of little River. We all are just watching Charla. LOL! Not much going on right now but we are so glad to be here. Doesn't Charla look FAB! We will update as the day goes along.
