Baby Surprise! and Derek's Interview

 Cute Grace on one of our warm days this week.

 Silly Alice.

 Grace made bread at her in-school field trip. She was so proud!

 Whitney and Adam came to town on Wednesday. They had their anniversary date, then came to our house for games and hanging out. The next day was supposed to be the temple and a cooking class, but Whit's water broke that morning! I spent most of the day in their hospital room with them.

 Darius arrived around 8:30. Whit did awesome! I got to be there/help with everything, and cut the cord. It was really cool and bonding.

 Derek came into town that evening for a summer internship interview. Since I was at the hospital, he had a 3-hour adventure on the public transit system. He and Paul headed out into the city together the next morning.

 I took Alice and Charlie to see the baby. Alice LOVED him!

 Charlie was curious.

 Later, we all went to see the baby.

 The kids loved playing with Uncle Derek.

 Good weather on Saturday, so we played outside.

 Charlie even ate out there!

 Selfie!

 The new family came home on Saturday afternoon. Grace LOVED holding him as much as possible.

 That ain't Charlie.

 They were in good spirits, though tired.

 Devoted uncle.

 Hey, Grace.

 I got some great pics this morning. Sorry about the scratch under his eye. I did clip his nails yesterday.

Favorite aunt, of course.

 Paul and Derek had some fun last night.

 Happy birthday to us!

 Paul took Derek to the airport super early this morning, and the Darius crew left after we headed to church. They said they just got home, and he's loving his new place. Paul and the girls have been readying things for my birthday.

Add brownie mix and bake. I can't wait!
