We love our library





Last night I ran over to our library to pick up a few things. When I was checking out the librarian gave me a little gift. It was a book and a card welcoming the newest member of our family. We love our library!

Our Fourth Child Has Arrived

Our youngest child was born Saturday, September 30, 2006 at 7 PM.
He's a cutie! Right now he's hanging out on my lap as I type this post.

Our five year old is at her grandma's school for the day. Grandma is a kindergarten teacher and today they are having a teddy bear picnic. I hope they don't get rained out.

Our Dino boy (who will be 7 in December) and our little ladybug (2 1/2) are upstairs playing with clay and playdough.

Saturday morning I thought it was going to be "the day" so we called my folks and asked them to come out and watch the kids. Then we went to the mall. After lunch my husband and I headed over to the hospital. They didn't send me home but told me to walk around for an hour which I did (my husband was supportive and walked with me). After that we went into labor and deliver about 5:30 PM and our handsome little guy was born at 7 PM.

We got home from the hospital on Monday afternoon and are doing well.

My husband was off work on Monday and Tuesday and is back to work today. I'm feeling good and enjoying the fact that now others can also hold our little guy.
