Brooks Priesmeyer's 2nd Birthday

Brooks' 2nd birthday party was a blast! All the boys played hard and were thrilled to be together (as usual). These guys are the best of friends and are too cute!

Georgia On My Mind

Now introducing Georgia Elizabeth Atkins. Born August 12, 2009 at 2:29 pm. She was 6 pounds 3.2 ounces. As of Sunday, August 16th Georgia is enjoying an extended stay at the hospital in the Neonatal ICU. She had a bit of a tough entry into the world, but is doing much better now. As soon as she can maintain her own body temperature she will come home.

Haley is recovering well. We have been spending most of our time in the NICU with our sweet baby girl. They have generously allowed us to stay over in a guest room in the unit both last night and tonight. If all goes well tonight, she will be home tomorrow.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Thanks for all the love you have sent. We pass it all along to Georgia.

And now, for the leading lady herself...

I'm home for awhile

It seems that my blood pressure does not want to cooperate, so I have been restricted from work officially now. Not that it is a bad thing, it just makes waiting for Georgia that much harder. Thank you to all of our wonderful friends for all your help maintaining life as we know it and helping us prepare for Georgia. It is a true blessing to have you in our lives.

I would post a pic of my growing belly, but just picture big and you have the right idea. :)

Parker's Bathtub Solo Debut

With a bit of prompting, in this video Parker sings "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" in the bathtub. Grandma Veebs taught him this at the beginning of summer.
