Evelyn's love for "Books!"

Happy New Year!

Evelyn's new trick!

We have this little player that has some children's songs and one of them is about jumping...anyhow she has been trying to figure out how to do this and until now, hasn't been able to get her feet off the ground. So here it is, the morning of New Years Eve, our little girl catches some air!

The Brennan's and Kelly in town for the holidays

9 lbs, 19-3/4" long

Welcoming our son, Louis Beatty!

Baby Louie was born yesterday at 11:15 a.m! We arrived at the hospital at 4am (at 6cm) and labored until 10 a.m. (at 9+ cm) when we then opted for an epidural! We gratefully pushed for only 20 minutes when our jumbo-baby arrived moments later. He is adorable! He is a mini-Beatty with red hair and curls...
Love,
Leslie, Beatty, Evelyn and Louis

What we've been up to.

We're just about ready to welcome baby Louie. We are due in just over two weeks! (the 31st)

I completed an addition in Hudson a few months back which should be under construction shortly. Most recently, I've been finishing up some work for a colleague in Boston while Beatty has been busy with work and graduate school.

Evelyn is amazing. She is changing so much everyday. She really is a funny little girl, especially now that she is beginning to talk more and more. She had an overnight with her grandparents last night as a trial-run for when we go into labor. Everything went wonderfully so that is, thankfully, one less thing to worry about (thank you Tom and Carol).

The dogs are doing well. Sadie is still with us. She just turned 15 this past month and Engine is as crazy as ever.

We hope this finds you all well and GO TRIBE!
