Sweet, sweet days

 We have two big helpers at our house!  Caeden pushed Hannah on her first walk in the stroller.

 Caleb is so excited that he is able to feed his sister unassisted (sometimes. :))

 Caeden is playing baseball... He is on the teal tanks and having a great time!

 Caleb has been learning to do his own hair, and actually this picture doesn't do it justice.  Gel galore!

 Hannah is sleeping, eating and getting kissed all day every day!

Such a smooch!  Grateful for my family!

HAPPY EASTER!

Jay left the house early today so he could lead the worship at church, it was going to be my first morning on my own with the 3 kiddos. Hannah sleeps in our room every night, Caleb came in around 3am because he was scared and Caeden joined him around 7:30. So, I awoke to all 3 of my blessings at the foot of my bed. What a special way to start the day!
Hannah and I have pretty much rested all day, not a typical Easter for us, but a very neccessary one after the week we've had. :) Easter is about new life in Christ and I have my very own new life to love upon....perfect!
I got the boys all dressed up so they could go to church... how cute are they?
And.... the very first, holiday sibling picture of 3! Eeeeee, I'm so excited that our family has just grown by two feet! :)

I pray your Easter is a wonderful one, whatever your day holds! Lord God, our household lifts up your name, in praise and worship, for sending your Son for us. He is risen, He is risen indeed!

We are officially a family of 5!

Oh Hannah, how we love you! You are such a sweet, sweet princess!
Here we are Wednesday night for the first time in our home as a family of 5! Right away I was thrilled! It has felt like a long time coming that she was in the womb and finally was out and about. I love it!
When Caeden and Caleb were deciding who would hold sister first he told Caleb that he could because he hadn't gotten to be a big brother before. Caeden is definatley already protecting both siblings, and looking forward to his added responsibilities as the oldest brother. He is truly adoring Hannah and didn't even want to go to school on Thursday because he was going to miss his sister. How precious Lord, thank you!
Caleb too is beside himself excited that he is a big brother and Hannah is his sister. Can you tell by the glow and smile from ear to ear? I will find Caleb on tip toes next to Hannah's bassinet multiple times a day, he loves watching over her.

We are as you might expect tired, and trying to figure life out in this new season, but we are truly blessed! Thank you God, for abundant life, for an amazing husband and three precious children, my cup runneth over!

Welcome Hannah Grace!

Saturday night I was at my parents and in a lot of pain. I was feeling like sister might be coming soon and so I had a final picture taken. Here we are at 38 weeks. :)
And Monday, April 2nd at 2:18pm Hannah Grace entered our world. She was 6lbs 5 ozs and we were told 20.5 inches long. However, after being measured at the pediatricians this week we found out she is actually only 18.75 inches long. (They must have included her enlongated head after delivery.) :) She came out screaming like Caleb did, but has since shown us her content, peaceful little personality. :)

Here are Hannah and daddy moments after delivery. Daddy loves his little daughter!

Third round and I am still amazed at the miracle that takes place. One moment they are in the womb and the next I am holding them in my arms, perfect and complete. What an amazing plan the Lord has! Hannah, we love you and are so happy to have you as a member of our family!
