Knowing that with a new baby, we wouldn’t have a lot of time on our hands, and that people would want to be reading our blog and seeing new pictures even more than usual, we decided to re-do the whole website and then not post anything for a while. Sorry.

The new website is a work-in-progress. Each of the kids will have their own section of the site, complete with art galleries of their latest creations and photography. In the mean time, I hope to continue to get new pictures up for people. The July, 2007 album is now available with fun pictures of all the kids. We’ve been having a laid-back summer with lots of fun outside. Check out the new swing set and “watch tower.”

Lori is growing quickly – she’s six weeks old tomorrow! She’s an absolute delight and as easy as a baby can possibly be (unless we’re in the car). I bet if you used a stop-watch to keep track of how long she cried in a day, you’d barely accumulate five minutes (unless we’ve been in the car). She’s as strong as all the others were – holding her head up rather well and supporting her weight with her legs on my lap – kicking and squirming all the time like she did in the womb. She takes good naps throughout the day, and, thank goodness, also like Liam, Evan, and Cara all did – sleeps well through the night! Now that she’s starting to smile for real, we’ll be compelled to take more pictures of her, so stay tuned!
