Introducing Maggie Michelle...

We went to Goodland Regional Medical Center on Sunday, April 17th after having contractions for about 8 hours. I was slow in dialating so the dr. kept me overnight and induced me the morning of April 18th. Miss Margaret Michelle, Maggie, was welcomed into this world at 1:46pm! She weighed 6 lbs, 9 oz, and was 20 and 1/2 inches long. She has a head full of dark brown hair. She's such a good baby- only fusses when she cries- and she's adored by her older siblings!

Taking a sun- bath

Eli's first time in meeting Maggie...he's starting to interact with her more- likes to hold her hands and talk to her.

Trinity was so excited to hold her new baby sister! She absolutely adores Maggie!

Our three beautiful children!

We're finally back!!

After a several month hiatus...me just not taking the time...we're back! Here are some highlights of the last few months!

While I nursed, Trinity and Eli read books together.

Practicing music with Daddy.

Aunt Shelly took Trinity to the prom...she dressed in her Rapunzel dress to go see all of the other princesses!

About 37 weeks along...

Movie night!

Cheers! Over spring break we made fruit smoothies almost everyday!

And, of course what spring in Kansas is complete without a late snowstorm? The kids had a great time in the snow...eating it, throwing it, making snow angels in it!

Here and There

Trinity has been jumping rope in PE at school- she loves to practice at home!

Playtime with Daddy- building towers- Daddy showed his skills and built the tallest one!

Trinity got very sick with the stomach flu over New Year's- we ended up having to take her to the hospital for IV fluids because she got so dehydrated. Eli didn't want to leave her side- sat beside her a lot...and he didn't even get sick...Praise God for that!
