Bath Time For Ellie

BRIGHT EYED ELLIE

ONE WEEK OLD TODAY

All in a rainy day in Arkansas...

When it rains we find lots to do.....Reading a book to Oscar is a good thing to do. Or, going outside to take a walk.......

Grandma and Grandpa Slanger sent an umbrella for Mack. It is so dry here he has not had a chance to try it out......until today. Man, do they need rain here.

It is so much fun prancing around while the drops bounce off the umbrella.

But, adults and babies find other things to do.

'cuze me for braggin' just a bit.....

Miss Ellie

Sorry this took so long...the hospital isn't exactly right next door so we finally have something to post. Miss Ellie Charlotte (Vic's mother's middle name was Charlotte) arrived late this afternoon. 9 lbs, 2 oz with curly dark hair....my oh my, is she a sweetie!!!

Noon Report...

nothing to report.....

A LITTLE NEWS....

ROB AND CARRIE HAVE LEFT FOR THE HOSPITAL. WE WILL POST ASAP!!!

A DILEMMA.....

If you aren't from North Dakota, you might not understand the dilemma in the second picture. Nope, no baby news yet, but stay tuned to this blog.

We Wait.....

Waiting is hard to do, but I'd say Carrie is doing a good job of it. She seems to be energetic, but when I say that to her, she laughs. I'd just sit in a chair and let everyone wait on me, but no, she's out going to stores and baking cookies. She saw her doctor today and he repeated those famous last words, "any day now". I know this won't go on forever, so we will all practice patience while we wait for "baby seester".

A LITTLE BOY ENTERTAINS HIMSELF

WONDER WHEN THEY'LL TEACH ME TO TIE THESE THINGS.

PAPA, WHERE ARE YOU?

Arrived Safely in LR

We arrived in Little Rock about 6:30 Thursday evening. It was a great trip with some fun with brothers and their wives in Iowa. When we started unpacking Mack thought it was great fun to get in and out of the totes. He entertained himself for a long time so of course Papa had to snap some pictures while he played.
