Growing Fast

Alex is now over three months old. He can roll from his back to his tummy and then back over again. He is a pretty good sleeper (most nights) And he is VERY loved!!

Go Team Go!

Emma is now in Pom-Poms and is loving it. I love watching her. I enjoy watching her while she is in her element. The girls danced outside in the COLD and they were great.

Happy Birthday Boys!

Since Alex was just a few days old the boys' birthday was pretty low key this year. We celebrated with cupcakes that everyone helped make.

Brothers and Sisters

Now that Alex is here I have LOTS of "helpers." They all love to hold him and snuggle on him. I hope it lasts, but really know better!!

All of my boys together.

Garrison and Alex

Emma loves her new baby brother!

Jackson adores Alex. He asks to hold him all of the time.

Baby Kiwi

December 4th was a wonderful surprising day for us. We woke early to get to the hospital for the induction of baby number five. I had my bags packed with my things and the items I would need for the precious little girl who would be joining the family sometime that day. We got to the hospital got all hooked up and waited.

It was around four-ish when the nurse checked my progress and told me that I was dialated to six, so we figured it would be awhile longer, but with in 20 minutes I was fully dialated and ready to have the baby. I barely pushed twice when our sweet little miracle was born, I couldn't wait to see what this baby looked like. I looked at Lee's face to see his expression and he was in shock! IT WAS A BOY!! I thought he was kidding, but no, my little princess turned out to be a PRINCE!

It took us a day or so to come up with a name for our little man. Riley suggested Kiwi, and for a (very) short time Baby Kiwi stuck. We finally decided on Alexander Gabriel Lee.

Alex was born weighing 7.8 lbs, and was 21" long. He has brown eyes and a head full of dark hair (although not as much as Jackson had)

We celebrated Emma's birthday over the weekend. I am still pooped from it. We had all the neighborhood kids over and a couple of Emma's classmates too. It was a fun, loud, and LONG two hours!

School Daze

We are getting ready to start week three of the school routine. Both Emma and Garrison are going to school, and they both love it. Although I think they enjoy the bus ride more than school. Everyday I ask Garrison about school and what he did, and his reply is always the same, "I rode the school bus!"

Riley is handling them both being in school like a trooper. He and Jackson enjoys walking them to the stop and waiting for the bus with them. They wave to all the kids as the bus drives off. We are hoping that we can get him in some sort of pre-school soon. Hopefully we will find out soon if he can go to Headstart, or the Community school here in the area. Keeping our fingers crossed!!!

Here is Emma on her way to school.

Here she is with Riley giving her a big hug on her return.
