Little help for my sweaty

Well I can't figure out the camera without Scott here, so just a quick note without a picture. We made it to Washington! Jack had to stay overnight at the hospital in Atlanta while we were visiting because he had a bad stomach virus. He was discharged the next morning and did fine after that, but it set us back one day on our trip. Everyone was so flexible, though, so it didn't have any adverse effects. We stuggled through stomach bugs and snow on the drive out, but got here safely and even got to see family in Utah. Jack's great-grandparents and the last two of the uncles got to meet him. We got our furniture delivered and then Scott left to return to Virginia the very next day to complete school. He's staying there for 2 more months. We're excited about his visit for Thanksgiving, and we talk many times a day - thanks Verizon! We are hoping to set up the web cams so we can see each other and especially so he will recognize the kids when he gets here. I got internet access today so it should be settled soon. The cats and Mom arrived safely a couple days after Scott left. Thank goodness Mom is staying here with me for the next 2 months. The 2 days without her were miserable. And of course, with her here, the house is already looking great! I start work on Friday. I'm kind of sad to go back after 10 weeks off! But I'm sure it will be good. Jack had his 2 month check up yesterday and is in the 75th-90th percentile. Much different from Katya's meager 3rd percentile. We'll post some recent pics soon. Love you all. Thanks for your support during this crazy time in our lives.

WHOA!

Top three reasons Rebekah chopped off her hair:
1. To avoid having it constantly pulled by little children
2. To avoid getting spit up in it on a daily basis
3. To attempt to feel younger before her 30th birthday

Cuties

Just a few more pics of the kids being cute!

Casey-dog

We had to put Casey the wunderhund (I don't know German, so forgive my misspelling) to sleep just before labor day. She was 17 years old this September. She'd had two litters of puppies, had graced the lives of two families, had survived heartworms and being hit by a car. She also brought joy to many of our friends and extended family. She will be greatly missed and cherished. We love her!

you don't want to miss these

These are old, but I just had to include these classics of the Duncan kids. They always make me laugh! I don't even know if C&B have seen them yet.

Jack's blessing

G&G M (can you believe that's YOU now?) came up for Jack's blessing. Scott did a great job, of course. And so did Jack. Pat Brady was the spotter since it looked like Jack might practice his dismount during the blessing.

Grandmommy

Jack got to have his grandmommy around for 3 whole weeks! His mom and dad were so glad! Thanks mom!

AAW!

The happy threesome! I'd like to say Scott might look rougher than I do! Was it that bad, sweetie?

Papa Perry

Papa and Katya got to visit at the hospital. Sorry this one's out of order. It's a little difficult doing this 10 weeks late! That's what we get for procrastinating. Acutally that's what you get, because you actually have to try to make sense of this blog. And I'm writing all this just before midnight (pacific time). Tootles!

auntie

Beth came to visit, but she couldn't tell Rachel and Jessica until she got home. They were pretty upset they couldn't meet Jack yet. Beth is pretty cozy with the babies. So when are you having another one, Beth?

Friends

We also got to visit with Nile and Renell a couple times before we left. We can't wait for them to move out to Washington when Nile is done with school to be closer to us again!

Cousins

Aren't they cute? We were so glad the Duncans could come visit us before we moved from Virginia. Even though it was just overnight, we had lots of fun.

Jack-o

He's a little more handsome when he's had a bath and isn't screaming, huh?

LL Cool K

Katya is a cool kid. Even without her sunglasses.

kiddos in the bath

I'm sure they will both hate us for this one when they're teens. And no, Katya is not on drugs. I just can't catch her being cute with the delay on my digital camera. I'm sure if I complain too much, Scott will talk me into getting some new fancy gadget.

Goings on and shananagains

HI! Sorry we've been so lax on updating our blog. This is Mommy and the happy siblings the day after Jack was born. We are so happy!
