A Few Happenings, more catch up later

 Never a dull moment with Brody around.

 My cousin Jesse came over with her two boys; Andrew who is just 3 months younger than Brody and Ethan who is just 2 months older than Maverick.  Brody and Andrew are very busy boys, I hope that Ethan and Maverick stay cool, calm, and collected to balance it out!

Strawberry Time!

Today Brody and Daddy went to the strawberry patch and harvested over eighteen pounds! Brody was a big help, taste testing as many as possible. More importantly, we have now acquired a strawberry supply for a summer's-worth of smoothies!

Birth weight!

The complete opposite of his brother, Mr. Skinny Legs and Long Arms Maverick is finally back up to birth weight today!

Maverick's Newborn Photos

This is what it looks like when I attempt a photo shoot of Maverick by myself with my little helper Brody around.

 Maverick, Daddy, Brody

 This is attempt #2.  This time we were at the farm, Brody was napping in the room next door and Heather was helping me prop Maverick.  There's a great story I could tell you about the fate of that beautiful cream blanket that belongs to Omi, but I'm guessing Omi's hands are still sore from scrubbing it clean ;)

This isn't really a "pro" shot because of the paci, but Maverick's eyes were so wide open I had to post!

You're witnessing one of the rare whining & crying-free moments we've had since 6 AM. This is what makes days like this tolerable!

Life with Maverick

 Papa

 We got to come home from the hospital the day after delivery (thank goodness since hospitals are boring and uncomfortable!) so Josh and Whitney got to visit Mav at home on Thursday.

 Barry wrangles Claire, Max, and Brody in the chaos.

 Thank goodness for cold packs.  They make every injury better.

 Enjoying our deck and nice weather.

 GG pays a visit.

 Maverick makes for a good snuggler during study time.

 A visit to the farm gave Brody an opportunity to have some fun and run off some energy.  He loves riding his motorcycle.  Best $5 garage sale find ever!

 A ride in the swather with Papa.

 Grandma Cindy came down from Ely for a visit.

 Grandpa Steve...Mav looks pretty comfy.
