Catherine Paige Kubesch Has Arrived!




We never thought I would make it to 39 weeks, but my docter induced me last Wednesday, November 16th. I had been having contractions for about two weeks, so once she started the induction, things moved pretty fast and Catherine arrived at 1:41 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and was 19.25 inches long.



She has been a great baby so far and seems to be a good eater, just like her big brother and sister. Conner and Caroline weren't really sure what to make of things at the hospital, but since we've been home, they have certainly warmed up to her and are constantly wanting to hold her. Everytime she so much as makes a little noise, they run to her side to see whats wrong, and if she is crying tell her, "Don't cry Catherine, it will be alright." Super sweet, so we will see if that lasts!






Morning after her arrival.



Ready for newborn pictures at the hospital.

Conner's 5th Birthday

I took off last Thursday so that we could do something special for Conner's real birthday. I gave him several options and he chose Gatti Town for lunch, then Red Lobster for dinner - so he could eat his favorite food - shrimp. He picked out some batman cupcakes at the bakery and we enjoyed those after dinner.





We postponed planning a birthday part for Conner until the very last minute. Once we made the decision to have a small gathering, Conner decided he wanted a dinosaur party. We managed to find some entertainent at the last minute and everyone had a blast, but most importantly, Conner loved it.





Conner's development continues to explode and he surprises us every day with the things that he knows. He is a fantastic reader, can add and subtract triple digits to triple digits with carrying, has knowledge of all sorts of science topics, can count money and tell time, and is an incredible speller.




The last five years have been such a blessing and we look forward to what each new day brings!

Halloween 2011

This year for Halloween, Conner was a blue Power Ranger and Caroline was Tinker Bell. We had our annual Tattershall Lane Halloween Party and had lots of fun with our friends and neighbors. Wes and I dressed as a football player and cat, however, we failed to get a family picture this year.
