"Whoa. Where am I?" puppy #2 wonders. |

The wet look |
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Carl, Jennifer, and Brenda determine. |
Jennifer, whom we jokingly call our midwife, and Brenda waiting for a watched pot to boil, which it did five times. |
We all had a job to do. Brenda did a great job of comforting Anchundia. |

Anchundia wants to know "Where is that steak dinner you promised?" |
Jennifer cleans puppy #5 as Anchundia cleans up after having puppy #5. |
If they could just stay little 'til their Carters wear out. |
"Oh, happy day" Lukas laments. |

|
Jennifer cleans baby #5. Brenda consoles mom. Robin waits for the dirty towels to emerge. Since his next eight weeks would be consumed with caring for the new family, Carl's job that minute was simply to beam with grandparental pride. |
