Can't Wait for Tonight

Michael Scott: Meredith... Meredith... Mary- Mary had a little lamb. Mary... Meredith had a little lamb. Don't bring that lamb to the office or it will poop on the floor

Bear with me as I divulge a little secret, my obsession with “The Office.” Justin and I have been avid fans since Season One. I never got into American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, Desperate House Wife’s, Grays Anatomy, or really any other shows but “The Office” it just does something for me. One of the best things other than the hilarious characters Dwight, Stanley, Pam, Jim, Michael, ALL OF THEM, is that Justin loves it as much as I do, it gives us something to laugh at together and look forward to. So hopefully my passion for the Office doesn’t sound too strange but with all the busy days work, the news, and the economy these days anything that can take you to a new place (a relief) sounds good to me. If anyone wants to borrow the seasons we have them. However beware they are addictive. Just for your information Thursday nights from 8-9 we wont answer the phones or the doors:)

It's Done

After many months and a lot of help the nursery is done. The first thing I started thinking about after we found out we were having a boy was what the nursery theme would be. I was so sure that we were going to have another girl that I had Justin put up a pretty feminine chandelier light in the nursery, to go with the french, frilly, baby room I had in mind. But low and behold I was having a boy. I guess the most obvious theme was baseball; it would definitely be the most inexpensive. SO, it is a vintage baseball baby room. I am really happy with how it turned out. Wonderfully talented Bethany Abercrombie drew that mural on the wall (she did most of it free hand WOW.) It turned out better than we could have expected, thanks. My mom made the window valances, and added to the bedding, and my grandma made the quilt. Thanks for talented people. All the rest of the stuff was in Justin closet at his parent’s house. He was glad to be able to use all the things he collected over the years (but most of all he was happy we had to buy very little!)

OWEN

Our little man! Its hard for me to imagine that he wasn't always with us. He is almost 3 weeks old already, only if time passed like that when your pregnant. He is a pretty content baby, other than the grunting. He loves to GRUNT for hours most of the time at 3:00 in the morning. I know that when we found out we were having a Boy I was a bit sad, mostly because I love the girl stuff (BOWS), but what a sweet blessing to have baby Owen. I do miss the bows and I am not as excited to buy him clothes but he is so precious, wouldn't trade for anything. I am looking forward to all the excitement of two children, and plan to wait AWHILE for #3.

We Call It Her "Princess Mask"

Since January Brinley has been fighting a cough, or so we thought. We went through rounds of Antibiotics, Nasonex Nasal Spray, Claritin, and numerous cough medicines. Nothing seemed to work and after a lot of throwing up and frustration we changed Pediatricians. She seems to think Brinley has asthma. She prescribed a breathing machine it’s a bit noisy and makes her a little uncomfortable, but she has been a trooper. I am just really hoping that this works for her. Lately if she became too active she would cough until she would throw-up. I want her to be as active as a 2 year old should be. Justin had asthma for a few years when he was young so I hope it is something she will grow out of like her daddy did.

WE LOVE OUR LITTLE PRINCESS JUST WANT HER TO BE HAPPY!!!

Ready or Not Here I am

Yea, he's here and I am not pregnant anymore!!!!!! Thursday August 28th Owen Mitchel Lensch was born at 1:52. 7lbs even and 19 3/4 inches, even smaller than his sister. I was very happy about that date 8-28-08, so easy to remember. I couldn't have asked for an easier c-section and the recovery has been smooth. I am just so glad that he made it to earth safe and sound. Last night I was able to sleep 5.5 hours straight and for that I am grateful. Brinley is in love with her brother. She helps bath him, change him and reads him to sleep. The few car rides were have taken as a family have been full of Brinley laughing at her brother, she is glad she has a buddy in the back. We cross our fingers that the green monster doesn't emerge.

Justin loves to wear the scrubs I guess it makes him feel important!

Welcome Owen

Brinley and Owen meet for the first time.

Helping mommy at bath time, don't put the wash cloth on his face!
