Tegan

Kisses

Entertainment

If Graye gets this many presents just for having a new baby come around, I'm sure he'd be happy to have a few more siblings! If only mom and dad were on board with that one...

Dad didn't mind the new toys either...

...Mom and Graye had to find something else to do while Dad took over the marble run for awhile.

Home at Last

Graye was excited to have his new sister home so he could help out. Apparently she was getting a little warm in that hat, so he took care of it right away.

Baby Tegan!

Tegan Elizabeth Andersen arrived on January 28th, 2008 weighing 7 lbs. 7 oz. and measuring 20 cm long. Labour was fairly quick, although a little rough for both mom and baby, but we both made it and are home and happy! Graye DOES love his new sister (despite appearances in the one picture!) and has to give her kisses whenever he sees her stirring. Thanks so much for all the well wishes! Hope you all can meet her soon - and Graye too for those who still haven't met him in person! =)

Ok, honestly...

... what the heck is the deal with this thing? I CANNOT get it to upload pictures. We are going to have 5 million of Tegan to put on here, if I can ever get it to work! Anyone know what the deal is? Did it just stop liking Macs? Might need to hook up a PC to get these pictures on here. It's making me irritable.

More coming..

I have been trying to upload the rest of these pictures for the last.... forever.... and it's not working. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. At least I got 2 of them up! Sorry, I need sleep more than an updated blog. =)

One week old!

It's a bit crazy that she has already been here a week - I feel like this all happened 2 days ago still! I guess at the same time I am already forgetting what it was like when we only had Graye. Ahhhhhhh so peaceful with only Graye's tantrums in the background... =)


If you haven't yet gotten enough of Tegan (I know, she is so sweet how can you have? =b) then you can also check out Nana's site and see her pictures too!

hehe!

I just noticed that in the following post there is a picture with a mobile thinger on the crib and a hanger hanging from it. Yes, we are very poor and have to entertain our children with twirling hangers. We make do. Actually, I WAS trying to entertain Graye and keep him out of the paint by putting him in there and hanging various objects from the mobile. It hasn't been otherwise used in ages and we just never took it down. So anywho, now that I have justified our lives... please continue!

Painting!! Again.

After having painted Graye's room right before he was born, we decided that we were done with cheery yellow, and needed to move on to something a little less jarring when you walked into the room. As Graye and his new sister will be sharing a space, we still needed a neutral tone, and the most obvious I guess is green. So that's what we chose. I saw on a home decorating show (don't listen to Dionne saying I stole the sripe idea from her!) someone suggesting stripes, but in the same colour with one matte and one shiny and thought, "what a fine idea!" That was obviously before I spent an entire day taping stripes on the walls. However it turned out really well, I love it, as does Ryan, and as I am sure Graye and baby do as well (they beeettterrrr!!! *shake fist here*) =D I don't know if these pictures really show the effect that well, but trust me... looks great, come over and have a look for yourselves anytime!

Tape stripes....

...finished! That easy.
