CHILLIN AT THE DAY SPA

Here's some pics showing off my hair...




I know...I look really athletic...or so my Aunt Robyn says.
I surprised everyone by being blond. I'm darn handsome though.

Dominic's First Photo Shoot with Gramsi

I love taking these photo shoots! Look at all the expressions captured in a couple of minutes.
He is 20 hrs. old here.

His mommy Molly actually knitted his little hat he's wearing.

Dominic Joel Bermea

Here's a quick post on our new arrival! Born April 26, 2008 7lbs.4oz 21 inches long.



Here's our two little guys "the Twids" together again...

Falling Down...Gently Down...See the Falling...

SNOW! In April? It's supposed to be Spring! You know...warm sunshine with gardens beginning to bloom. But it keeps snowing!


Here's a couple shots from my house.

Alexander One Week Old

It's amazing how life changes in just one week. On Sunday's Robyn and Paul usually come out and spend the afternoon with us. One week ago they came out and Robyn was restless. We finally went for a 1/2 mile walk. Just a few short hours later Alexander came into the world. Now life is suddenly different. Somehow more exciting in a way. It's only been a week, yet we can't remember life without him. He's already growing and quickly changing and it's only been a week! We're very antsy for Dominic to show up. Life will be twice the fun. I love being a gramma. The best part is...I get a full nights sleep! I get to play and cuddle and take a thousand pictures...and then...sleep. Here's some 1 week old pictures....Enjoy!

I really HATE getting my diaper changed! Usually I cry my head off...right now I'm working on my angry eyes...


Daddy's nose is good for something...

But I think I like my finger better! I just discovered this...

My mommy has a really hot bod after just a week...

We decided to relive the same 1/2 mile walk of just a week ago.


I think I like my car seat...

Gramma says I'm really a good newborn...I have my moments but most
of the time I'm pretty easy to please...
Here are the many faces of me...



And by the way...am I supposed to like tummy time?

I like it better with Uncle Ben...

I hope Dominic gets here soon to share in all this attention. My gramma is the paparazzi!

FLY ING AWAY

We had a busy week...Alexander born on Monday....On Wednesday at 5:30 in the morning 10 of us met at the Medford Airport to see Chris off for his mission to Spain. I have to say...what a great guy Chris is. We had the opportunity to hang out with him Sunday evening. He told us some of his experiences going out with the missionaries in the R.R. area. He's going to be a terrific missionary. Of course we'll all miss him.



Here's some favorite goodbye shots...




Goodbye Chris...see ya in 2 yrs!

Grandma Grandpa Aunts Uncles Cousins

A steady stream of people wanting to welcome Alexander into the world. I've been busy posting on Robyn's blog but I thought I'd better put one up here too!
Here's a classic three generation pic....Rochelle (grandma) Robyn (mother) Alexander (baby)

Grandpa (Dan) with his daughter and grandson.....

This is a great shot of this trio 8 hrs before he was born...

Uncle Daniel...

Uncle Sam...on the phone...


Great Auntie Pitty Pat...

Cousin Chris...

I left before seeing Auntie Brook and Cousin Sari so no pics of them.
But here's one last pic of the proud to be grandparents.

hmmmm...WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THIS BIG PILE OF STICKS?

I KNOW! I'll make the biggest ball of grapevine in Oreeeeegon!
(p.s. remember weird Al's biggest ball of twine in Minnesota?)

Thanks to Molly for the wit.
I'll post more pics later if it grows.
