Baby Liam Arrives

Here is our new nephew... Liam James.

Born tonight just before 5 pm.

He weighed in at 6 lbs 15 oz and is 19 and 1/4 inches long.

Everyone is doing well, but is of course tired.

We did not take many pictures tonight to spare the tired mom and dad...

hopefully i will have more to share tomorrow.

Old Friends...

... sit on the park bench like bookends. Simon and Garfunkel anyone?? anyone??

Anyway... on Saturday some of my "oldest" friends came for the day. They are old friends from Crossroads youth group in Raleigh. Carrie and Daniel are now married (but met in our youth group) and Cara (who I actually met at New life Camp, but was also in youth group with us). Anyhow- I digress. There is nothing like hanging out with old friends. They understand where you have come from and appreciate how you have changed. Carrie and Daniel are now "growing" their third child, baby girl Ella. But here are our two oldest kids... they look unhappy but really played together extremely well. Luke is a very sweet natured and kind little man!

Ethan and Luke

Me, Carrie and Cara.

We have come along way from youth group days!!! Too bad Jessie could not be there too!!

Wacky Wednesday

Today was "Wacky Wednesday" at Ethan's pre- school. Here he is in all his glory.

He did not really get the concept and was offended that I said

he would be the "wackiest" kid in the class.

But, he did really enjoy dressing crazy - it must be in his blood!!!

Samuel's Birthday Party

Here is Ethan enjoying himself at his buddy, Samuel's 3rd Birthday. Samuel's parents have been our close friends for years- actually friends is not a strong enough term - they are like family. Happy 3rd Samuel!! Ethan and the Birthday Boy!

Ethan anxiously awaiting the cake.

Samuel's cool train cake.

Back at Spence and Robyn's house - enjoying a good dinner at the kids table!

9 Months Old!

Aren't we cute!!!

Santa Baby... A Little Late

Isaac

Livy

All Christmas season I kept meaning to take some pictures of the twins in a santa hat (I have a really cute shot of baby Ethan like this and wanted ans try and get the same shot of them). Well... the season is over but I finally found time to do it!!! These are my favorite two shots.
