New house





















Here are some pictures of our new house. It's been a huge blessing to us. There are lots of projects but we want to stay busy. We love it though! We now live in Ivins and love the area and people around us. I was able to paint my kitchen red, which I'm excited about. We're going to paint the cabinets white in the kitchen so I think it will look really nice when we're all done. The kids bedrooms are all painted and fun for them. I think the people before us liked bright colors.

More baby pictures





















This picture cracks me up of Sterling. It looks like he just went through the labor, but I did make sure he got a good squeeze on his arms while I pushed and was screaming Samuel out. It was a lot of work but we did it!! Samuel's been a great baby and getting used to the eating and sleeping thing. Ellie's still not sure about him and likes to touch him, we're working on being gentle. She looks so small since she still doesn't comprehend so much. She's still such a baby. We took an attempt at a family picture and this is the best one we got.

New house and New baby!!!








































Like always, we have a lot to catch everyone up on. Our third baby was born yesterday. We thought he was a month early, but he was right on time...looks like we got our dates messed up. He's so cute! I have to get the exact measurements for him, but as far as we know he's 19 inches long and 7 lbs. It seems weird we don't know the exacts but it turned into an interesting adventure. I wanted to have him at home and it turns out the day I went into labor was the day my midwife got married. So we had a replacement midwife, which turned out to be a great experience! However, the scale she was using from my original midwife didn't have all the pieces so tracking down a scale was difficult and we had to use a less-than-accurate measuring system (standing on the scale with and without the baby and subtracting the difference). Anyway, here are some pictures. I'll put pictures of the house at another time.

I got the most important ones loaded though!
