i received a text message last night that my second oldest brother, todd, and his wife, sunde, added *maxwell beck* to their growing brood. little max -- who his two sisters brynn and cam refer to as "smally smalls" -- was born four weeks early. sunde just texted me, however, and said that they have moved him from the NICU into the regular nursery and that if things continue going well, they will get to take him home tomorrow! he was just over six pounds by two ounces and we think todd said he was nineteen inches. either way, he's precious! so far, we've only received two pictures of him, but todd and sunde *promised* to send out more! i love the second pic cuz he looks so mad! but take a gander and check out my 27th niece / nephew, maxwell beck pritchard!
You are just surrounded by infants, Aunt Holly! What I wonder is... how in the world do you do Xmas and birthdays for all these little munchkins?? That's a lot of shopping.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're well!
christmas is interesting, i tell ya! the great thing is we have a system that each sibling only buys for another sibling and their family. so i buy anywhere from two-seven kids' gifts, depending on whose family i get! and birthday gifts are few and far between! i usually just sing happy birthday to them on the phone. i can't keep up with birthdays!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good system. My mom is the youngest of nine kids and that's how they did it, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so getting fixed when these kids are out. My brothers don't have the attention span for any more nieces and nephews.
i don't think john can handle much more, either!
