Oliver at Three Weeks

Originally uploaded by troelby


Hard to believe it’s been three whole weeks already, but our new
little guy sure is changing and getting bigger. He’s opening his eyes
more and starting to develop some patterns, including only a single
waking last night! (We’re wise enough to know that won’t last). Thanks
to everyone for your well wishes. We hope your Winter celebrations are
merry and bright. - Troelbys

Grammy recently gave Reed a great book that shows all sorts of fruits
and veggies with their initial letters. So, Reed and Ben went to Whole
Foods to see what we could find: mango, pomegranate, Zante currants,
kumquats, dates, and quince paste!

While he was getting his hearing screened, he also was able to solve a few future crimes, and communicate vital information to the rest of the rebels within the Matrix.

A little video we shot during a rare moment when Oliver wasn’t in somebody’s arms. More on Flickr. All is well here; we’re headed home tomorrow. Love, Sage, Ben, Reed, and Oliver

We had a request for more pictures of Sage, so here’s a good one with
Oliver. She’s feeling, and looking great if I do say so. - Ben

All is well here. Sage is recovering much better than the first go-round, the new little guy (yet to be named) is sleeping, eating, pooping, and screaming like a champ. Gerri, Pat and Steve have been a great presence and much help already. Reed, when making a wish at a fountain in the hospital, wished “that little brother grows up fast so I can play with him.” More pics at Flickr, and on Facebook. Not so fast little guy, not so fast. Love, Sage, Ben, and Reed.
