Update

I have been keeping busy with the kids and have fallen behind on the blog so I have posted several updates at once to catch everybody up. We are all doing very well and adjusting to being a family of 5! I start back to work on Monday :( and I am sad that it is the end of my time off. I have really enjoyed being at home with my babies and spending quality time with Macy! However, I miss all of my co-workers and look forward to going back and getting back into a routine! Macy will start daycare next Thursday so I am praying that she will make a good transition. I know that Miss Carolyn will take great care of her though!
Macy is growing so fast and she LOVES to smile and coo and sleeps for 4 hour stretches at night, which I enjoy! She is a wonderful baby and we have enjoyed getting to know her personality!

Macy - 6 weeks old

Macy is doing really well. She is such a sweet girl and we are very blessed to have her. Her big brothers love her! Zane always wants to hold her and Kade is constantly asking to give her hugs and kisses! They are awesome big brothers!
This week Macy has found her voice and has been doing a lot of cooing. She has also starting smiling which is so exciting! There is nothing more sweet than the first smiles your baby gives you when they see you...and she has the most precious dimples when she smiles (thanks to daddy!). Enjoy her 6wk pictures!

Halloween 2009

We had a fun Halloween this year with the kids. We started the day by taking the kids to the Farm Patch in Bryan. Zane had a great time going through the maze and Kade enjoyed playing in the patch of pumpkins. Blake and Zane found their perfect carving pumpkin and then we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon outdoors carving our pumpkin. Kade was more interested in playing with his dump truck and playing chase with Momma, but in the end we had a great looking pumpkin! That evening we went to the Fall Festival at FBC-Bryan and the boys had fun playing games and getting lots of candy.

A visit to the Pumpkin Farm

We had a great time at the Pumpkin Farm! We met Pops, Gamma, Jordan and Jocelynn there and the kids enjoyed running around and playing together. What a fun afternoon!

First Bottle

Daddy fed Macy her first bottle at 3 weeks old. She did GREAT and Blake enjoyed feeding his baby girl.

The Fireman

Blake put his fire gear on for the boys one night. Zane has seen Blake in his fire gear before, but this was something new for Kade. He wasn't sure what to think at first, but it didn't take him long to warm up to Blake. The next day we all went and had family portraits taken and Blake and Macy made the web-site!

Welcome Macy Marie!!!

We would like to welcome Macy Marie to our family! She made her appearance at 4:48pm on September 21, 2009 weighing 7 lbs 6 oz and 18 3/4 in long. She is a beautiful, healthy baby girl and we are so blessed to have her! Her big brothers are very proud and excited about having a baby sister. Daddy is working hard to manage the household and adjusting to having a baby girl!!
Mom and baby are spending a lot of time bonding and catching up on some much needed rest, but both are doing well. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers during this pregnancy.
