Des Moines, city of brotherly love

Jack was not known for his caring disposition when Griffin joined the family, but thankfully that has all changed. Jack likes to get his required reading minutes done while reading out loud to Duncan. So far, the newest Boesen hasn't complained too much about the material chosen (usually Sports Illustrated for Kids).

Paige knows best

Our friend, photographer Paige Peterson, always seems to capture the boys at their best. I'm not sure how she gets them all (ok, 2 out of 3) to smile in unison, but I suppose that's why she's the professional!

Time flies...when you have three kids

It's hard to believe Duncan's already a month old! And yes, he looks like...a Boesen boy.

Boys will be boys

Duncan George Boesen joined our testosterone filled family on June 17, Father's Day, in keeping with the Phelps tradition that someone ALWAYS ends up at the hospital on holidays (even in a good way).  

Heir to the throne, Jack, gets first dibs at holding his new little brother.

Despite what this photo shows, Griffin is the most caring big brother of all. He frequently checks on Duncan while he's napping and usually has a blanket or stuffed animal to share to make sure he's cozy. Not surprising from the child who'd rather live his days out in pajamas.

After his first bath, Duncan spent his first night in the hospital all cozy.
