Gavin at Zoo Class!

Gavin attended his first Zoo Babies class at the National Zoo on Friday. He learned all about flamingos. According to Grammy, he was a very good student. Next week, we learn about gorillas!

One Week Old

It's hard to believe little Miss Molly is already one week old. She's doing just great. Gavin continues to be very intrigued by her. His favorite things are giving her kisses and sharing his cars and trains with her. Molly doesn't quite appreciate these acts of sibling love.

Here's a picture of Molly at one week and a similar one of Gavin at about the same age. There's definite similarities and differences.

We're Home!

We arrived home yesterday just after lunch. Molly was a trouper in the car seat on the way home. She also got lots of compliments leaving the hospital.

Gavin's spending today at the Baltimore Aquarium with Nonnie and Pops while Rob and I try to catch up on some sleep and bond with our little girl. So precious!

We've finally posted some pictures from Molly's first few days to Kodak Gallery. You can check them out at http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLanding.action?c=15ea5ixa.8q7zth1i&x=0&h=1&y=-9pz43t&localeid=en_US.

The Sweetest Greeting!

Yesterday, Gavin met his baby sister, Molly. He was a very sweet big brother and checked out her fingers, toes, and nose. Molly gave her big brother a present: a new Thomas train named Molly! For the time being, he thinks that she's a pretty cool little sister.

Welcome Baby Molly!

We are happy to announce the arrival of Gavin’s baby sister, Molly Virginia McCracken. She decided to enter the world on Monday, September 14 at 6:50 p.m. Molly is 8 pounds 12 ounces and 19 and 3/4 inches. Jen is doing great and happy to finally have her little girl to hold.

We'll post a link to more pictures shortly.

Gavin's First Day of School

We dropped Gavin off this morning for his first day of school (actually, playgroup,but it felt like school to all of us!). Here's Gavin proudly posing with his lunch bag. We can't wait to pick him up at 12:30 and hear all about his morning at school.

Still Waiting . . .

We enjoyed a nice sunset dinner of lobster at the National Harbor last night. We're still waiting for Gavin's little sister to decide she wants to join us. In the meantime, Jen's doing plenty of nesting by preparing Baby M's baby book and finishing up Gavin's after over two years.
