First Smile That was Caught on Camera!

Of course, Jeremiah can make Natalie smile like no one else-which I don't understand because half of the time he is terrorizing her! Go figure...

Natalie has quiet bath time with mommy after the boys go to bed.

Jeepers Creepers! Where did you get them peepers?

Fort time in the living room with Grandma Kosik's folding chairs and the water softner box.

PCA Grandma goes above and beyond again into the fort.

Jeremiah kept calling it a "bed tent."

Jeremiah now delcares "I am not going to sleep!" when I put him down for nap time, and most of the time, he is right.

Have a great week.

Jeremiah was a Turtle?

Jeremiah pretends to be a turtle with a laundry basket...very cute if I do say so.

We saw our first pond turtle crawling across our lawn last week. It was hissing at us and Jeepers got a kick out of the whole experience. (So did mommy. I dropped a bag of cheese while clearing off the dinner table and screamed, "There's a turtle!" and then I ran out the door. Matt just rolled his eyes at me and said, "No turtles in the house!")

I finally dumped all the pictures off my camera and will have more up soon.

May Flowers?

Natalie is here!

Isaiah and Jeremiah are so happy to anounce the birth of their little SISTER Natalie Jane. They both adore her and are doing so great as mommy adjusts to taking care of three. Natalie was 7 pounds, 11 ounces and 21 inches long. Her birthday is April 21st. She is 2 weeks old today! This picture was taken at our apartment on our last morning there. Yeah!

First trip to Great Grandpa and Grandma Kosik's house.

She looks so much like Matt and Isaiah with Daddy's skin tone, hands and feet, and curly dark hair. Natalie is very content when she is awake, and she loves to eat well and sleep. A perfect baby so far:)

I'll try to get more pictures of her with her eyes open this week.
Blessings on you week!

Meet Petey, One of the Eight Pets at Grandma Kelly's!

Petey poses for a photo while playing outside with the boys. His favorite past time? Chewing up diapers, sidewalk chalk, shoes, puzzle pieces, the floor and anything else he can get his teeth around. Ham had her kittens about two weeks ago-five cute black fury balls. Jeremiah LOVES the wittle kitties-and he loves to squeeze them. Max just goes with the flow...

Jeremiah finally falls asleep in fire engine bed.

Say Cheese!

Jeepers is such a blast. He is talking like a pro and loves to make Isaiah laugh. He found a newborn diaper and said "Mommy, look, a Natawie diaper!"

Isaiah sitting outside in the van on a gorgeous spring day. Watch out, he'll get you!

Isaiah worked so hard at physical therapy today. Daddy even got to pop in for a visit before heading off to job number two. He is such a trooper-Matt and Isaiah!

Handsome Isaiah, looks just like his daddy.

Natalie weighed in for the ultrasound today at 7 pounds, 12 ounces. Unfortunately for Mommy, she seems very content to stay where she is. We watched her grab her toes and have lots of hiccups. Any time now Natalie-my bags are packed!

Pictures of Natalie

My weekly ultrasounds are going well. As of today, Natalie weighs 7 lbs and 1 oz! Time to come out now...The 3-D pictures of her face a the colored ones at the bottom. Who do you think she looks like?

She is holding on to her toes in this picture.

You can see the umbilical cord on the left and placenta sticking out on the right.

I can't wait to meet her. Have a great day!
