Ohma has been over for two weeks helping us with Dagney while I was still in the hospital so that Josh could visit, helping me at home as I recover and, of course, helping with Paige and eating up each moment with her. Ohma is awesome!!

Dagney got a special lamb from Ohma we named "Hoofie"...

Mommy and Dagney share some alone time and play with blocks...

A very proud Daddy and his two girls....

...and Auntie Jenny visits so that she and Grace can meet Paige...

We truly feel blessed. A heartfelt thank you to all our friends and family who have sent cards, gifts and well-wishes to our family.

Coach Melissa Aldrich Shelton

Dagney insisted we make a 'shoutout' to Coach Melissa Aldrich Shelton, the Women's Volleyball Coach at William & Mary for commenting on our blog. Thanks Coach Shelton for reaching out and making our day today.

However, Daddy had to explain to Dagney William & Mary is the most prestigious college in the whole wide World and William & Mary only takes the smartest kids in the whole wide World. So Dagney reluctantly sat down determined to make it through her book, Moo, Baa, La-La-La.

The cow says "Moo".

"No, no you say, that's not right."

After the book Dagney said, "Being smart is going to be a lot harder than I thought."

Go Tribe Go!

You walk like Daddy after two beers!

Low and behold, look who is walking? Well, she has been walking off and on for a little over two weeks but today we felt like blogging it to make it 'official'. We captured this little clip as Dagney stole Daddy's piece of watermelon and tried to make a break for the family room.

PS - After spending 6 hours on my friends Mac trying to create this 13 second video, I opted to just go buy some PC software and download, convert, edit, upload and blog this video in about 30 minutes. Thank god for PCs.

Home Sweet Home

We safely arrived home today and Dagney was very curious to see who was in her old Pack-n-Play. Low and behold it was a new sister!

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

And there she is, the newest addition to the family, Paige Anne Bunkers

"Hello World!"

Like Father Like Daughter

For 34 years of my life I have had to endure the ludicrous story of how I (Josh) would walk around and lick trashcans when I was little. Clearly, these stories are completely crazy as they were simply impossible to believe. My mother and father would embellish these trashcan licking stories despite my astute memory in which I recall licking a grand total of 0 trashcans. 0 trashcans. However, yesterday morning I was enjoying my morning television programs and realized Dagney was suspiciously quiet. It was that eerie quiet in which you suspect your one-year old child must be up to no good. I walked into the kitchen and to my astonishment, "DAGNEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"What, who me?"
