Band on the Diaper Run

June in January

 

June Elizabeth Hammel was born 1/4/08 (weighing in at 9 pounds)

She is named (partially) after my grandmother, Elizabeth, who passed away earlier this year 


Magnolia calls the baby "Junebug"

 

 "The big sister loves the little sister,"  Magnolia says (she is sitting on my lap as I type)

She's beautiful. Congratulations! If I may ask, what is that brown pillow June is sleeping on? It looks like a great way to make a family bed possible with an older sibling.

Congratulations!  what a lovely picture of the four of you :)

I already sent my congrats, but I wanted to tell you to just unapologetically nurse June.  I think that most folks who matter couldn't care less, and if you do run into some who make dumb remarks, you could always threaten to spray them if they don't shut up.

About the Blogger

Mates of State

Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel

Kori Gardner is the organ-playing half of the band Mates of State; her husband, Jason Hammel, plays drums. Known for their vocal harmonies and euphoric melodies, Mates of State has been described by critics as "unabashed joy", "honesty at its best", a "two piece with balls", and "a band that you must see live." Their daughter, Magnolia, was born in 2004 and started touring with the band at 10 weeks. June, their second girl, was born early this year. The whole family is touring the world right now. Hear their latest album, "Re-Arrange Us" at www.matesofstate.com, or myspace.com/matesofstate
