Since I've Been Gone

A picture to start -- Grandma Susie with all of her grandchildren - Harper, Finley, and Amy. Not pictured, Shae's unborn son, Wolfgang Tupac Hoschek, due in January.


OK, I admit it -- every month or so I apologize for falling behind, only to get on a roll for awhile and then slow down. So, here is my latest promise to keep the blog updated more frequently, esp. given you have twice the babies to see.


Here are a bunch of picture, in no particular order, that will bring you up to speed in the Weinstein's lives. Also, Shelley took the girls to get our Christmas card made -- they'll be going out this week . . . and they are good.


Over Thanksgiving, Shelley's mom and older sister, Susie and Steph, came to visit. A month before Harper was born, Stephanie and Steve, her husband, had a baby girl, Amy Marie Stuecker. Amy was born over nine pounds, a difference that will become evident in a few photos below.


Below is a picture of Harper from this week -- she was a month old this past Thursday. She is growing like mad, eating all of the time (a true Weinstein AND Hoschek), and not generally sleeping much at night.
Another picture of Harper, much closer, from about two weeks ago. Yes, she mostly sleeps -- or cries.



As mentioned above, Amy was born about 3 pounds bigger than Harper (or Supersized 50% more). You will see that difference, plus the additional month, below.

The best picture we took of all three of the girls. At this point, they are 3 weeks old, about 21 months, and 6 weeks old.


Every year, our Realtors, Terri, Kieron, and Steve, have a big Christmas party at Kieron and Steve's house. We went for the first time last year and this year Finley and I went, where we saw the world's greatest balloon animal artist at work. While we were in line, we saw this woman
make a goldfish blowing clear bubbles, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and a princess. Finley, who we took to the town Christmas tree lighting and saw Santa, wanted a Santa Claus balloon. She got one, as you can see below:

One of the bloopers trying to get the picture above - she hasn't quite mastered her mother's automatic smile yet.



Shelley's family got Finley a 6-piece baby doll set, which included a pack and play, car seat (which she is holding), baby Bjorn, booster chair, and bouncing chair. Finley's two dolls are named Baby Harper and Baby Amy -- they are different sized dolls and Baby Harper is the younger one, while Baby Amy is the older, and larger, one.

Another Harper picture - this one at about two weeks old.




The best picture of Finley as we were trying to get all three girls to look the same direction -- or at least not tip over.
