We have been blessed with many visitors over the past six weeks. They have helped with entertaining Sophia, cooking, walking Everett to sleep, cleaning, laundry, and many other indispenible tasks. We are so appreciative of all the assistance, well-wishes, and gifts we have received. Thanks so much for keeping us in your hearts.
Everett is doing really well and is the very happy baby we have always wished for. I know, its still early but he is so sweet. Sophia is still adjusting to having to share everything with 'baby critter'. She has good days and bad days.
Dada, Sophia and Everett (5 weeks)
Everett (5 weeks) enjoys taking showers with me. I am posting this photo just because it shows how curly his hair can get when wet.
Grandma Barson snuggles with Sophia and Everett (4 weeks). This is a rare moment when Sophia is actually still enough to photograph.
Grandpa 'Papa' Barson flew in to 'take things under control' and walk Everett (5 weeks) to sleep. Papa and Sophia enjoyed drawing lots of shapes and colors on her art easel.
Everett (5 weeks) is just starting to crack a smile. Mosting just after he has eaten...well, wouldn't you?
Kim Whipple visited a few weeks ago while traveling from Moscow back home to Lacey before continuing on to Houston where she will start her new job. She and Sophia also had fun drawing 'bananas' on her art easel (long story short...Kim was trying to draw a crescent moon ;)). Everett is 4 weeks here and happy as can be.
2-week-old Everett is walking with Grandma 'Gamma' Johnson. He is wrapped in his Seahawks blanket to support the home team...too bad they lost anyways.
Auntie Katie with Sophia and Everett (2 weeks). Remember, "little bites Auntie Katie!"
Auntie Kim and Everett (1 week). He was still so little then.
Yes, I know we look tired...it only took us 6.5 weeks to get together for a family photo.
Everett loves to look a lights.
He also enjoys playing under his activity mat. The monkey is his favorite.
Sophia received this t-shirt from Grandma and Papa Barson. She later received the pink poodle backpack and fuzzy black kitty from Great Grandma and Grandpa Barson. Thanks for thinking of her while her brother gets so many 'presents'.
Here is Sophia enjoying an ice cream treat after a 'moderately, well-behaved' trip to the mall.
Sophia was performing for the camera by refusing to smile and sticking out her tongue. Everett didn't know any better and just enjoys rolling his tongue around. She loves to hold 'baby critter'.
