Introducing Avery Patricia Baus!

We had our baby! Avery was born on November 28th, 2011 at 7:31 am. She weighed 9lbs 13oz and was 20 inches long. Over the last two weeks, she has been doing wonderfully, and eating and sleeping well. The boys are so excited to have a little sister!

Here are some pics...

Joe and I waiting to go in the OR


And so many people came to visit in the hospital. I blame Joe for not getting enough pictures!!! We are missing most of Avery's grandparents. Here is mom though :)



And Uncle David

Daddy and baby


And great-grandma came over to visit the day we got back from the hospital. We were so excited to show off our baby girl!


And here are a few more pics of Avery


You gotta love those giant flowers Aunt Lo got her :)



And we'll end with some pics of the boys because they are still so cute.

Happy Halloween!!

Hey, I know that I haven't posted in a looong time, but Diz finally made me promise to update (thanks Diz!) so here we are.
We have had a great year. We finished residency, moved out to a small hospital with tons of family around (which is wonderful), we made some new friends, and we made a new person. We are expecting at the end of November.

So, we've been up to a lot this year. We celebrated Christmas.


Sat on Santa's lap. (Thanks to papa for taking this picture)


Pickle was baptized. Doesn't he look so cute?


The boys helped me cook in the kitchen.


And learn to make bread (yum!).


We played inside...



(and nana played too)


And outside. In the cold...


...and as it got warmer.


We spent a lot of time looking for worms.



We celebrated Declan's Birthday. (Happy third Declan!)


We celebrated Father's Day. (Guys, you are supposed to sit behind the picture)


We moved! The boys helped us pack.


And unpack

And we had a great summer here. A lot of it was spent at Tuscora Park.


Now, it's Halloween again! The boys love their costumes. Declan couldn't sit still for the family photo...(from Yo Gabba Gabba, Pickle is Brobie, I am Foofa, and Joe is D.J. Lance Rocks).


...but here he is as Plex, the magic robot.


Here they are again, excited to go to a Halloween Party!


We are trick or treating tomorrow night, and are so excited! I will post again soon. We should have some newborn baby pictures to post in a few more weeks.
