Welcome to the World, Cameron Logan!

Yay! I'm officially an aunt!! A big congratulations to my sister, Leslie, and her husband, Charles, on the birth of Cameron Logan Simpson. He entered the world this evening at 7:30 P.M. weighing a whopping 9 pounds, 14 ounces!! WOW! I think that's an Ambrose family record for sure. Look at the difference between Cameron and Jackson on the baby scale...


WHOA! I hope Cam doesn't beat up on his little (but older!) cousin. It was so hard for me not to be with my family tonight at the hospital, but we'll get to see everyone in four months for Christmas. I love you, Les and Charles!

Some Videos... Mostly for the Grandparents :)

Laughing in the bathtub...



Helping Mommy put toys away....



The third one isn't too exciting - he just loves to spin around on his bottom like this. Sometimes he does it really fast, but of course when we try to get it on camera he won't do it! :)

We Love CAE!

Our good friends Chad and Aree and their daughter, Evangeline came to visit us yesterday. It was so great to see them and we had such a fun time, even though they were only able to be here for one day. Evangeline and Jackson are only six weeks apart in age, so we were excited to get the babies together and watch them play. Eva is toddling around all over the place, and Phil and I were hoping she would inspire J to walk, but no such luck. It was so hard to keep them still and next to each other for a few minutes to get a picture. These were the best ones we got!

Awwww!!


That's Heidi throwing up in the background, by the way... nice.


"Hey - everybody - this one's mine!!"


Here are some other pics from our visit. Here's Phil with the babies...


Dads playing chicken with the babies.... (not really, of course)... :)


J and E playing with the Easter Bunny airplane...


Do you see them both trying to push the button, Mom? :)


Before they left we tried to get all four of us looking at the camera and smiling at the same time. We got pretty close!


And, they're done....


Chad and Phil were kind enough to stay home while the babies slept so that Aree and I could have a girls' dinner out. It was great to have some time to ourselves to catch up on our "girl talk." Girlfriends are so great! Thanks for being such a good one, Aree!

I'll post some videos tomorrow. Very sleepy right now...

Random Cuteness

J loves being outside. The other night I was cooking dinner and I couldn't be outside with him to watch him, so he stood at the screen door and watched the whole time Phil was mowing the lawn. He would laugh every time Phil went past the door. Really cute!



Here's J trying out our friends' bike trailer. We wanted to try it out first before we bought one ourselves, and it seems to be a hit. He is so cute in there, and it's really fun to go on family bike rides together.

And here's Phil on the new bike that he bought to replace the one that got stolen out of our garage. He says it isn't nearly as light or nice as the old one, but it serves its purpose. I sure hope whoever took the bike is using it to get to work to support his/her family or something, but I doubt it. Probably some crazy teenager or something. Oh, well.



Just a cute shot from the bathtub...

Things I've Discovered... (by Jackson)

1. Hank makes a really good footrest while I'm eating.


2. Grass really isn't that bad to crawl on ... in fact, it's pretty nice!


3. I can always have fun...even when I have a bad rash all over my face.




4. It's much better to hold onto the front of the swing, as opposed to the sides.


5. Unrolling a whole roll of ribbon is the greatest thing ever.


6. Playing with the unrolled ribbon is the second greatest thing ever.


7. Dad pushes the swing much better than Mom.


More to come...
