Our first week home.....with a family of FOUR!

Hello....

the week has gone great! my mom is here..which has been a tremendous help, and Brett took the week off of work..which has been great for Braydon! So far....all is good, Brielle is a sleeper...so we have had peaceful days, and not such bad nights, and Braydon is in love with his little sister. Although, it is hard to explain to a 22 mos old..how to be gentle with a 6 day old. :) oh well, glad it is love...not dislike.

stay posted for more pics....

2 weeks and counting.....

hello...

it has been awhile since i last posted any pics..promise to get on that this week. we are enjoying a rather warm fall (today was close to 80 degrees) but hoping that it will cool down at least a little, soon. We have been staying very busy (typical trend for the Bolt Family) and show no signs of slowing down prior to the arrival of bolt #2. Due date is Oct.25th and we are anxious for the day to come, or maybe early...we will see. Braydon has shown some understanding that a baby will be coming home soon, but as we all know...he really does not know what is about to hit him. He is turning into a typical toddler and having a few more of those lovely 2's melt downs, but.....overall he is a sweetheart! He makes us laugh daily and provides constant entertainment, and is learning so fast, his vocabulary has tripled and we are amazed at what he retains. He is very much into Thomas the Train, and has chosen to learn his colors and numbers through naming the different engines and the numbers they are....whatever works! We will keep you posted and hope to be able to send out a "new arrival" email very soon!

Happy Fall!
