Happy Halloween

Well this has been one interesting week at our house. Erika came home, and our little family is now complete. It is amazing how quickly one forgets how much work a newborn is. Both Tim and Lex are pretty independent now, so I am getting used to being on call 24/7 again. LOL! But it's all worth it. Ericka is a good baby, very easy going so far. (Talk to me in a few weeks once she is fully settled in and we'll see if that sentiment still holds... heh)
Anyway being that today is Halloween we took Tim and Lex to a local fall festival, so they could get all dressed up. (Really we all know the ONLY reason to get dressed up is for the candy.) They both looked so cute in their costumes. Even Erika, who stayed at home to keep daddy company got to get dressed up on her very first Halloween.
I hope you all had a great day and did not overindulge to much in the candy bowl. Enjoy the photos and thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to the world!

Well our little bundle of joy FINALLY decided to make an appearance into the world. We have now added another GIRL to our growing family. Erika Danielle was born on Saturday October 25th. She came into the world weighing 8 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long. Unfortunately she had a bout of jaundice and had to stay in the hospital a few extra days, but she is now at home and resting comfortably. Her brother and sister are thrilled and are already planning all the things they want to teach her and show her. We are extremely blessed to have another blessing in our family! I will post a more detailed update later, but wanted to get the announcement out ASAP!
So make sure you check back later!

Busy day

Well we had a good and busy day yesterday.
We started out the day by going to the Space center and learning some more about the planets. The kids all had a great time, and did actually manage to get some learning in as well. There is a whole series of photos at my other web site, so make sure to check them out.
After doing all that learning everyone was hungry, so we spent some time at McDonald's eating. Then the fun really started as we spent the rest of the afternoon at the train park. The weather is finally getting nice enough for us to be outside for longer than a minute at time, so we took full advantage of it yesterday!
Needless to say with the weather turning nice, a new baby due soon and the holidays looming in the near future, there will be plenty of pics and blogs to keep everyone updated! So make sure to check back often, and I hope you enjoy hearing about our days!
