Meeting Kiki and Presents

None of us expected Laura to make it full term. Kiki, going by the dates that Jack and Eva were born on, had arranged to work from home for a whole week so she would be here when Laura was born. In classic Laura fashion, she showed up the week afterwards and waited until Kiki was hiking in Yosemite for the weekend and had no cell phone service. Kiki got home really late Monday night, so she came over on Tuesday to meet Laura. She even brought us pizza for dinner, cupcakes for dessert, and the makings of root beer floats to celebrate!

Eva has decided Kiki is on her very small list of favorite people. She even sat on Kiki's lap and shared her pizza!

As the last few months have been really hard for all of us, we got each of the kids (except Laura, who isn't old enough to need one) a present to celebrate Laura's arrival. We handed them out after dinner on Tuesday.

Eva got a new doll ~

Megan got a Barbie that came with a big dog (that swims) and two puppies ~

Beth got a doctor kit ~

Kylie got a gumball machine that dispenses toys ~

(Eva with her doll again - she was very excited about it!)

And Jack got a Power Ranger Samurai toy ~

Kiki's present was a new niece :) Kiki commented that she was so big compared to how tiny Eva had been :)
