Paige is 8 weeks old today! Our family is doing great! Big brother Chace loves his little sister. He kisses her and loves to hold her hand. He even doesn't seem to mind when she screams during his favorite show "Little Bear". We are so blessed and have enjoyed getting to watch our little Paige grow! She smiles often and coos. She's already 11 lbs 11 oz and 24 inches long! Enjoy these pictures from the past 2 months. Starting off with Chace and Paige this past weekend. Paige's first naked picture (2/26/08)

Paige's Arrival - January 3, 2008

What a day! We called in for our induction at 4am and were supposed to get there at 6am. We arrived around 515a...traffic was pretty light at that time of day. Everything progressed along and the doc visited around 1045a. By 1245p I was checked and at 6cm and 90% effaced. The epidural wasn't working all that well so they called them to give it a boost - turns out they didn't make it. Around 1255p I was in major pain and yelling that the baby was coming! Paige arrived at 110pm to the shock of many including my doctor, who despite running as fast as she could, watched it from the sidelines...no pushing was necessary. What a way to make an entrance. Since then our little one has been cool as a cucumber. She sleeps well, eats well and likes to just take it all in. Here are pictures from her birthday. More to come soon.

Christmas 2007 pics

Christmas was wonderful this year as always! Chace is starting to understand the Santa thing but was still not happy about sitting on his lap. Santa brought him a tricycle and a "computer" - the Diego version. Here are some pictures of it all.

My ABC's

He's only missing a couple letters :)

Baby Girl is coming soon!

On December 7th we took belly and family photos. Little Chace had a double ear infection (we found out later that afternoon) so wasn't agreeable for much of the session but we got a couple cute ones. He thinks he's excited about being a big brother but I'm pretty sure he has no idea what it will really mean for his life! We're looking forward to the Christmas holidays and baby's arrival between 1/3 and 1/8...doc says we'll induce on the 3rd but you never know right?!

Chace is two!!

Hi all! It's hard to believe that our little man is two years old! He's officially the size of an average 34 month old weighing in at 30lbs and 371/2 inches tall. He's quite a character. He talks all the time and likes to tell us what to do - "I watch Backyadigans again, Ok?" or "Mommy, I need animal cookies!" He also loves to sing - we've heard full verses of "Jesus Loves Me", "Twinkle, Twinkle" and the ABC song. Of course, he has his tantrums which are pretty big sometimes and he's tried the screaming tactic lately but we're making it through. He loves trucks and playing in his new sandbox. We're looking forward to all the adventure this next year will bring and watching him become a big brother in a few months.

Below are some pictures from the birthday bash last Saturday. All the grandparents attended, Aunt Kim brought a small entourage with Joe, Karen and Elizabeth. Our good friends TK and Blake and their boys Cooper and Bo and our neighbor children Max and Megan were all in attendance. You'll see the main activities were playing in the sand and with trucks, sharing stickers, eating lunch, opening presents and eating cupcakes. We had a great time celebrating. Enjoy the pictures.
