Joe suggested I name the blog "Tres bien" ... it's a strong possibility -- a nice play on words.

We're heading into week 6 with Caroline and things couldn't be better with her. She's cuddly and happy and rarely cries -- unless justified. She's been sleeping pretty consistently through the night with the best night so far being from 12 to 7:30 A.M.

I knew I would enjoy being home during this time because I could spend time with Caroline. But I didn't factor in all the great time I am spending with the boys. Brennan and I are actually having one-on-one time with Baby C sleeps and everyday we walk up to school to get Jack.

Brennan is loving preschool though he was a little sketchy the first week or so. Now he talks about his classmates who haven't adjusted yet and just shakes his head. Today was supposed to kick off his Sunday school experience to everyone's great disappointment, it was canceled because his classroom was flooded. His class is during mass so he made sure to let us know (over and over) he wasn't pleased.

Jack is busy in first grade and the increased school work -- and drama. He's decided his kindergarten girlfriend isn't the one anymore and has moved on to a little girl named Angie (who we haven't met yet.) Last week, Jack decided he needed to let Helen know so he could build his relationship with Angie with zero ties. His reenactment of his conversation with her had Joe and I rolling.

He decided to tell her he'd found someone else one day after school on the playground. According to Jackie, she immedialty demanded to know who it was ... and when Jack said "Angie" she was quick to tell him what she thought of her.

"Mom! She told me she didn't like Angie. She said 'Anyone but Angie!,''' he told us. "But the thing is, she doesn't even know Angie! Girls are crazy -- but especially Helen!"

So I am playing with name possibilities ... right now, Three's company seems appropriate.
Things are going well. After a month, we are all adjusting well. Baby C is currently sleeping in her Pack-n-Play and Brennan is watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Jack is at big boy first grade and Joe is at the radio station. All is well with the world.

I will post some pictures now and write something up later.



She sleeps. :)


The boys meet their sister with Ga. Brennan's face is priceless!

Dr. Guerin moments after her arrival. She is is the best. And yes, my blackberry is in my hand.

Daddy and his girl.

It's official!
