Samatha is here

Here are some pictures of baby Samantha, born 5/26 at 8:18 AM, 8 lbs. 5 oz. 20.5 inches. Mom and baby are home and doing well.





Here is a video of the kids together for the first time

Kassie Graduates

Kassie graduated from preschool Tuesday night from Light and Life Christian Preschool. The best part of the evening, was the slide show. There was a picture of each student and the answer to the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Kassie said, a mom. We've had such a great experience at Light and Life and I'm excited Tommy starts there in the fall.

A day at the park

Mother's Day 2010

Look at these two angles! Don't they look so sweet and innocent! I love them and I'm grateful to be their mother.

The baby plans are, if I don't go into labor before the 26th, I'm going to be induced that day.

Dance

Kassie's year of dance is coming to an end. Kassie loves her costume and is looking forward to her big recital next month.

Tommy a pretty good sport about going to "Kassie's dance stuff".

Lee was post call and was able to come too!

Baby Shower

Last week my friends threw me a baby shower. Another friend of mine is due a few weeks before me, so we had a double baby shower. It was great. We were totally pampered with a much needed pedicure!

I am laughing at this picture! My friend MADE me take it!! It's totally embarrassing and I told her I would not make a heart with my hands on my belly!

I think it's amazing and wonderful my friends put together a baby shower for me especially since this will be my third baby!

The Latest Happenings

It's May folks and it's going to be a busy next few weeks. The kids have been crazy and so have I. What is in the water?? It must be spring fever. Is there such a thing? We are pretty much in baby mode. I have been working on my list of things to do before the baby comes. I'm not always successful but I'm working on it. Clean the refrigerator and stove are at the bottom but I have high hopes to get them cleaned. Lets face it, the last month of pregnancy isn't exactly the prettiest. Kassie calls my belly the "BIG Bonker" and says it's so huge and can't get any bigger. The baby is using my bladder as a pillow, so you can guess what I do four times a night!! I may have fallen asleep on the couch last week sitting up. I just so happened to twitch so bad that my leg fell off the couch and woke me up. I'm just hoping that it doesn't get too hot and muggy so my toes don't swell and turn into "little smokies".

Other news.... Kassie and her friend Rachel decided it was a great idea to dress their brothers in fancy skirts and sparkly high heels. Tommy is not quite sure about all his fancy apparel in this picture. But he did admit to liking his blue sequence shoes. And Rachel was probably thinking she picked a perfect outfit for her brother, a green skirt that matches his green sweater. All this dress up for boys is ok right? I mean, Lee's sisters dressed him up and he turned out just fine. Tommy is doomed. Two sisters to try and make him wear pink and be fancy. What can I say!!

These two pictures were taken at about 4 o'clock. Tommy just couldn't hang any longer. Growing out of naps is a hard thing to do!! It's nice to see a picture of his sweet peaceful face because lately, I would say, sweet does not describe this little feller.

A few weeks ago a was able to attend Time Out for Women here in Indianapolis. I loved it! I hope I can go every year.

P.S. Don't these two beauties make you want to have long hair!!
And yes, my big bonker is even bigger then what is it in this picture, so watch out kids. Don't mess with mom or I'll use my bonker as a weapon.
