Introducing James Jay Douglas

Hello family! Here is a picture of the latest addition--James Jay Douglas. Born 7:15 AM on Sunday, July 20, 2008. He weighed 6 lbs 9 oz and is 18 inches long. We're all doing great. Bekah is already a great big sister and loves her brother SOOO much. She took a picture of him to her preschool class today because she couldn't wait to show everyone her brother. Mom and baby will come home from the hospital Tuesday morning. Thank you everyone for all your prayers and support.

Haircut

Kaylee and I have been talking for a while now about getting her hair cut short (she wanted to get it short like Dad's, but I wasn't going to let her cut off quite that much), and today we finally went to have it done. Here are the before and after photos:











(She's REALLY cute!)

Your Mom...

I know that Russ and Anne will enjoy this in particularly. I would like everyone to know that today Dad successfully made TWO "your mom" jokes! This is most definitely a break-through for Dad. For those of you who don't know, Dad, Russ, Anne and I have had at least two separate longish conversations trying to explain what "your mom" is supposed to mean and imply.


Funny thing, though, is that Dad told a story today of when he was in the 9th grade he made some negative remark to a senior in his band. This same senior responded with, "Well, Blaine! Your mom wears combat boots." Apparently, Dad understood the "your mom" jokes all along. Reminds me of another thing Dad tricked us all on...

Last thing: You will all recall that for Christmas Padre received a Napoleon Dynamite calendar. You know, the kind that you tear off a piece of paper for each day. Every day has another quote from Napoleon Dynamite on it. On 6 June the quote -appropriately so- is:

Deb: Is anyone else home? I'm trying to earn money for college.
Kip: Your mom goes to college!

I thought this was not only a good fit but very coincidental and hilarious!

Ever so sincerely-
Angela

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADRE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLEE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLYN!

Birthday Girls

Friday night we had a birthday party for both Kaylee and Ashlyn. We made two cakes, because we decided Kaylee wouldn't be too happy about Ashlyn digging into Kaylee's birthday cake. That was definitely a good decision, as the video will show. Enjoy!
