Haus of Boys?

My sister Adie had her sweet baby yesterday.
Another boy!

He is so cute and the fact that I yet to hold him or see him in person is torture.   
I have come down with an annoying cold and I didn’t want to risk exposing his new baby lungs. 
So home I will stay and be tortured until this weekend when I am well again. 
Boo.

We are so excited though to welcome little Randolph (our dad’s name!) Cooper Smith and are so thankful he is healthy.
He’s perfect in every way.
It’s such a blessing to have another sweet boy join this crazy girl-filled family. 
Adie is definitely expanding her house into a Haus of Boys!

I wanted to also share this cute journal entry that Mia, age six, did yesterday evening before going to bed. 
She has started journaling and drawing in her new hot pink and white polka dot notebook I got her a few weeks ago.  I thought it would be fun for her to jot down her thoughts from the day and be able to look back at it in a few years and smile. 

This is what she wrote yesterday:

Don’t you just love Adie’s big lips?
And how baby Cooper is already standing up walking around town?
Priceless.

Today I got a new cousin!
Out of my aunt’s belly.
His name is Cooper.
He is cute.
Soo cute.
He is a boy.
