Three weeks old - and a bespectacled Hannah

Handsome baby boy!

Hi, folks! I'm as big as teddy now. =)

 Mommy. Wook. Ya-ya (Hannah). Gwasses.

Lai, do you recognize the puppy pajamas? They are being enjoyed again!

Five little cousins - March 27

Hannah, Lydee, Bella, (Nathaniel) and Abigail had so much fun together! These may be the best pictures we've gotten of the four girls together - all smiling and sort of looking at once! =)

 So excited that Bella and Lydia are moving south again tomorrow!!! =)

Cutest twins in Maryland!

Bella seems proud to be holding Nathaniel - and he's rather taken with her. =)

See Baby's eyes?

 

Hannah won't be left out

The confident biggest sister Abigail

 

Tom and Lydia in front of their home (for another month). Thanks so much for having us! We loved the time with you all. . . and can't wait to have you close by again so visits can be more frequent again. =)

Big trip, baby in tow (March 26-28)

Last October when SouthWest made their local announcement (before we knew what baby God had for us and when that baby would be born), we purchased tickets (and got all four of our tickets for what one would normally cost!) to fly to visit my sister Lydia and her family. Since Nathaniel was born 2 1/2 weeks prior to the trip dates, we considered postponing the trip, but Lydia and family would actually be moving soon, so it was "now or never!" Five o'clock in the morning on March 26 we packed up our family of five and headed to the airport (craziness!). The girls were overjoyed with the prospect of riding on an airplane and of visiting their cousins. Nathaniel was content to be snuggled close to Mommy (yay for my new Moby wrap - except for airport screening points when they made me take it off).
Ready to go!

Hannah's first time on an "air-pane"

Abigail's ready

Moving sidewalks are exciting!

With the cousins by breakfast-time!

Bella and Lydee holding Nathaniel - won't be long till their baby sister Maria arrives!

Bowling with littles =)

Hannah can do it!

Nathaniel two weeks old - March 22

Handsome little guy!

Abigail can't get enough of holding Nathaniel

See that little round belly? It's never full. . . at least not for long. =)

Cute sleepy face

Not so fond of his first bath!

But clean and none the worse afterwards (and oh so sweet smelling!)

At long last =)

Well, three IS busy! Life and little ones have kept me a little too occupied to blog of late though I have taken some pictures I hope to share. The last 2 1/2 weeks were also made more difficult by a series of migraine headaches which put me out of commission for awhile. By God's grace, I am experiencing relief now! So a quick post. . .
Nathaniel had several special visitors his second week and we got pictures of these:

"Miss Ree" (Shirkisha) came to meet Nathaniel

Not a visitor, but a wide-eyed pic with an adoring sister

And two big sisters playing "baby"

Bella and Lydee! Love those cousins!

Uncle Tom (Tom and Lydia made a quick trip to the state to view real estate - they're moving back!!!)
