Sisters and Aquarium

From

As August winds down, we are gearing up for our big move! Just one more week until the family is together again. Becky has certainly had her hands full learning to manage 2 little girls, but she's had plenty of help from Nana and Grumpy Waggett. They came to visit this month and made sure Becky got in a few naps, Brooke was entertained and Luci got lots of cuddles. Nana is back at home now, but Grumpy is filling in her shoes. Fortunately, Luci has finally learned the difference between day and night. She certainly isn't sleeping through the night, but at least we're no longer awake all night.

Considering all the changes around here, Brooke is doing wonderfully. She loves having a baby sister and gives hugs and kisses every day. Here are some pictures of the sisters from the past 2 weeks.



Grumpy and Becky took the girls to the aquarium this week. Brooke had a great time running around the place and has now discovered more than the catfish (her previous favorite). She loved the otters and snakes and pushing her stroller around. Hopefully, we'll have time for some more adventures before we leave for Florida next week.

Luciana Ruth Palmtag

We are proud to announce that the newest Palmtag, little Luci, was born on Wednesday August 5th at 8:49 AM. She weighed in at 6 lbs 14 oz (one ounce shy of big sister Brooke at birth) and was 18.25 in long. She is happy and healthy and doing all the things she's supposed to do. Her first week was pretty busy. We came home from the hospital on Friday and enjoyed a family weekend. On Monday, we had an in-home baptism for Luci. On Tuesday, Matt had to head to Florida. He started his new job and is getting settled done south before classes start this week. Fortunately, Nana and Grumpy Waggett have come to stay with the girls. They're making sure Brooke is entertained and Becky can get a nap in every day.

More to come later when Becky can squeeze some time out of the day!
