First time she has carried around a little bag. I love the boots too!

We like to capture the size of their newborn feet and hands before they get too big.

Seth at Home







Here we are toasting Seth with some sparkling cranberry juice. Everyone went around and said something they were thankful for with Seth's arrival.

Seth! May 26, 2010



First look at our new son!
First new family member shot.

So sweet.

First bath.


Here's your new brother

Proud brothers.



Here's Esther needing her own chaperon. She was such a busy body at the hospital and after she left, I always had food stains on my bed....pizza sauce, PBJ, etc. It was a little stressful, but worth it to have her come visit!



Going home outfit! Weighed 7 pounds 3 oz when we left.

Baby Shower For Seth



We met at Rembrandt's Coffee Shop in Eagle and had some drinks and desserts. It was a fun time of just talking about memories we've had of each other and catching up. I made a crossword puzzle with my friends' names being filled in the squares and the clues were adjectives describing them in my mind. It was fun and relaxing.

Going on a Date

The day before we had Seth I took the kids out on a date one on one. I took Elliot to Krispy Kreme and then we went to the toy store for about an hour. He loves looking at all the toys: cars, balls, trains, legos, etc. Then I came home and took Adrian out. We went to the Discovery Center and then out for a snow cone. It was a special time with each of them one on one, and they can't stop talking about going out on another date with Mommy. I was so exhausted from being on my feet all day, but it was sure a good use of my day!!

Indian Head dresses


We made these head dresses out of paper bags. It was a lot of prep for me and they just weren't too into it after they decorated it. But we at least got a cool picture of them saying "HOW"

Last Day of AWANA



They had such a good time at AWANA this year. Elliot was in Puggles and Adrian was in Cubbies. Next year Elliot will be in Cubbies and Adrian graduates to Sparks! Esther may get in on the action too and join Puggles! They went to Calvary Baptist Church and had the best teachers.

Fruit Kabobs






I had the boys make these fruit kabobs for dessert. They had a good time and it was a good diversion for them to work on while I was making dinner.
