Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner!

If you only read one book this year. . .

. . .you're in good company, apparently. A recent AP poll showed that one in four Americans didn't read a single book in 2006.

Gasp.

Librarians everywhere are weeping into their lace-edged hankies.

Sisters, Sisters. . .

People keep asking us if we think Anna looks like her big sister. What do you think?

Sundays

Despite the dreaded combination of late church + sacrament meeting last, our Sundays are pretty enjoyable right now. Elizabeth has gotten old enough that she can a) keep herself quietly occupied during sacrament meeting, and b) wait until 3:30 for a nap. And Annalise is still young enough that she can a) eat and sleep anywhere, and b) not care about anything else.

This is one of those "once in a blue moon" moments: everybody is ready for church early enough that we could take a few pictures!



Here's Jared enjoying the traditional post-church nap with his new napping buddy.

Cheaper by the Dozen

Baby Emmett was *supposed* to be the last of the three June babies due in the family, but he surprised everybody by arriving in May! Congrats to Aaron and Joni:


Congrats also to Emily and Erik on the arrival of baby Henry! Like his big brother and sister, baby Henry arrived with a truly astonishing amount of hair:


Emmett, Annalise, and Henry bring the Olson Grandbaby Tally to an even dozen. . .Poor Skylar--if Sarah gets married first, you're going to have quite the time wrangling all those kiddos in the waiting room at the temple. ;)

Indulge me, please. . .

. . .as I share still more pictures of my two favorite girls:

System Update Complete

We're thrilled to announce the arrival of our new baby - Annalise Ruth Olson arrived on Wednesday morning at 7:11 AM, weighing in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces and 19.5 inches long. Mom and baby are now home and doing well--we're looking forward to our first weekend together as a family! :)
