Updates

welcome home Guppy!  After 9 days in the hospital, it's probably nice to be home!
As you can see, Tyrese came over for a visit on Sunday. For those who don't know this already, we ran into Tyrese 2 weekends ago at the Riverfront Day for Families.  We exchanged phone numbers and hoped he would call.  For those who really don't know this, Tyrese was Brian and my foster son before we had our own children.  He went back to his mom on his fourth birthday.  Weird to think that Addie is the same age as he was when he lived with us!  Needless to say, he has fond memories of us and called on Sunday to ask if he could come over.  His mom said he had been begging since we gave our phone number, to call to ask if he could come over.  :) He is an older brother to four younger bros ages 6, 4, 2, and 5 months.  He's awesome with Addie and Ben.  As you can make out from the pictures, he LOVED the jeep.  Makes me feel good to know that at 8.5 Addie and Ben will be loving the jeep still.  When we picked him up, I told his mom we would bring him back in a few hours and she said, "or next week.  Seriously, as soon as he gets home, he's going to be asking to go back to Cory and Brian's house." 
A funny thing going on now: Ben puts his hands on his hips when he's frustrated or mad about something.  It's like he just knew where to place them, and he does it so exasperatedly (like that word). I'll try to capture on video, however usually it's directed at me so I doubt I'll be able to grab the camera in time.
Also, Addie has made her Youtube debut, with her Barack Obama song. You can view it here:

Muddy and Guppy are glad to have Guppy out of the hospital! His first afternoon and evening back have been spent in la-la land, as both of us have never been as tired as we were when we got home today. There's no place like your own bed when you're tired. And I promised not to check blood pressure nor temperature during the night.

We watched (and shared) Addie's O-B-A-M-A song a million times in the hospital. It brings a smile to our faces and our hearts every time we watch it.

Love, Muddy
