Matthew and Erik

Here are Matthew and Erik Decker, on 22 December. 

The Benjamins

Here they are... all four of them! 

Camryn with Grandma Decker

Here's Camryn with Grandma Decker after "Christmas Dinner" on 12/26/05. Pop-pop couldn't hold her because he was still a bit too sick. 

Daddy and his girls

Brian with Camryn and Corrine. How sweet! Those girls love their Daddy. 

First baths are TRAUMATIC!

Boy, did Camryn SCREAM her head off! She was fine once it was all over! 

OK... Cory IS tired of getting her picture taken.

I could NOT get her to take a normal picture after this point. She is SO funny! 

I am NOT happy.

She's even cute when she's not happy and not sleeping!

No more pictures!

Um, does it look like she's tired of getting her picture taken? 

Another shot of Cory and Camryn

Here they are again... looking adorable. :) Need I say more? (I don't think so!) 

Cory Holding Camryn

This is Cory holding Camryn for the first time, when she first came home from the hospital on 12/24/05. How cute are they? 

Camryn Lynn (B&W)

I just LOVE this photo of Camryn in B&W. This was taken before she came home from the hospital. I'll upload some more pics tomorrow, after I get home (back to my DSL connection). I'm just not used to how long everything takes with dial-up. :)

Mama and Baby are doing fine!

Here's Mommy and baby on Christmas Eve... just before they came home from the hospital. 

Cory Meeting Camryn for the first time

Here's Cory meeting Camryn for the first time. She was SO eager to meet her sister, she had called Mommy at the hospital and asked her to "bring my baby sister home!" 

I'm ready for my closeup!

Here's Camryn... close up and personal. This was taken on Friday th 23rd of December. 

Pile On Daddy!

Left to Right: Elizabeth, Adam, Erik, and Heather... all on top of Daddy (my brother Chris). Taken 22 December 2005. 

Camryn Lynn Benjamin!

Here's Camryn! This was taken the day she was born. She was born at 9 pounds, 8 ounces, and 22 inches long. Both Mom and baby are doing GREAT! 

December 20th

Well, December 20th, Laurel is scheduled to have her c-section, and Camryn Lynn will be here. I can't wait to meet this kid! She's already super-busy!

Cory went to see Santa last Sunday, and told him "My baby sister Camryn is coming soon. You leave her under the tree, 'k?" She also asked him where his flying bambis were. How cute is she?? She also was quite concerned that Santa not stress himself out too much, so she told him she has enough toys. She is very sweet! :-)

Comments

Aha! I just realized that I had limited the ability to comment on my blog to "members only". Since I don't know how to make anyone a member, you would never be able to comment! Well, I changed that setting. Now you can make comments on my posts. You'll have to do a word verification before it will load all the way... just to make sure the post is being made by a real person. That's easy peasy... no biggie.

Cory and Pop-Pop

Cory absolutely loves her grandpas. Here she is with Dad on Thanksgiving weekend. 

This is another test.

OK. I'm going to see if I can post something and not foul my whole blog to bits.

this is a test

Thanks to my dear friend Amy, my blog is now functional! Yay! (Thanks Amy!)

I will be deleting the old auntlynnie.com web site soon. I think this will be a MUCH easier way to update my photos.

- I have no idea what happened Lynn! I tried again and we'll see what happens. For some reason your stuff isn't getting saved.
I'll try editing this post and see what happens. Then I'll log off and you try i guess.

Adam

Adam is such a sweetheart! He can be running at full tilt, and if you say "Adam, come give me a hug", he will change direction and head straight for you! He loves giving hugs, and is just the sweetest little boy!

Erik

Aww, Erik! This is the only shot I got of you on Thanksgiving weekend, because you ducked out with Grandma and Grandpa Piedigrossi before I knew it. :)

Heather & Elizabeth.

Left = Heather, Right = Elizabeth. They can fight like cats and dogs, but they are best friends. I know the feeling... Laurel and I were like that when we were little. They love chasing each other around the house!

Matthew the Cub Scout

Matthew is now a Cub Scout. How cute is he? He's seven years old now, and a really good kid. He's so good with the quads. :)

How funny is Corrine?

Ha! Cory has learned how to cross her eyes and roll her tongue! So she does it regularly... for almost every photo! (And of course, that means the fingers go in the ears.) Adorable, huh?

Cory's reading a book! (well, not REALLY.)

Cory's getting so big! She absolutely loves to read. Generally, she will ask you to read a book to her, and then she will read it to you. Depending on the book, she may or may not notice if you try to cheat and skip a page. :)

She LOVES dinosaurs, and has asked for a Carnotaur for Christmas. (Is she really 3???)
