Never too young

Here Pete demonstrates that it is never too early to begin male bonding rituals, i.e. watching sports with the boys. I'm not sure if having his shirt off is in preparation for a shirts v. skins game afterward or if he's just showing off his muscles for the camera.

Two months old!

Peter turned 8 weeks old on Thursday and celebrated in style by sleeping through the night for the first time. (Thanks Pete!) He is now 13 lbs 7 oz and 24 1/4 in. He makes his brothers happy by smiling, cooing, and the favorite...burping. We all love our little Pete!

Check out those lips!

Entering the blogging world...

Little Peter Joel Mietus joins our family on May 29, 2008.
9lbs 6 ozs; 21 1/4 inches
Lately, I have been feeling that I really needed to stay in better touch with our family and friends that live so far away. I have not been great at sending pictures, videos, or even letters to keep everyone posted on our goings on here in Texas. At one point, I didn't even think we'd get to see Joel's family this year and so I decided I had to take action. (Luckily, we will get to see everyone at our niece's wedding in August--but the fact remained I was not doing my part to keep everyone up to date on our lives.) So, here I am, attempting to enter the world of blogging.
I am not going to set any grandiose goals of updating every day or even every week but I will try to keep regularly posting pictures and news from our family happenings. I have a lot to learn about all the things that can be done on a blog but for now I am happy to know how to type and post pictures. Here's to new blogging!
