July 2014

Howdy-

Guess everyone knows the big July news for this household. Janell Fay was born 7-26 @ 11:45 am, barely waiting for the doctor to arrive. She weighed in at 8 lb 5 oz and was 20 1/2". Both big sisters are pretty excited, wanting to hold her multiple times a day. Hannah will hold her for quite a while, until she starts fussing or fills her diaper and then she's ready for someone to come and get her. Nicole will hold her for a short while and then is done holding her and then wants to hold her again shortly afterwards. Janell is a really good baby; likes to sleep, especially if someone is holding her. :) There's nothing like baby snuggles though. We don't hear much outta her unless she's hungry or getting changed, but she's slowly getting used to that. Somehow we won the baby lottery again. Rodney's feeling a bit outnumbered though. :)

July was also our haying month. Rodney had six different places to hay. This year went pretty good, some showers came through that stretched the haying season out, but Rodney was able to get it wrapped up before Janell was born. Girls enjoyed all the picnics at the hayfield. They were bummed when we ate at home. Pretty soon they'll be taking over the haying business. :)

'Til next time-
