Sweet Saturday

Micah got his first tricycle today! He is so excited. He feels like a big boy because he has a "bike" like his big brother.

And as an expert, his big brother was excited to give him some tips on pedaling.

This picture was taken only seconds before Micah's first CRASH. Noah gave him a push down the driveway and I was taking the picture. I thought Duane was right behind me ready to catch him - but he was at the mailbox. Oops. Thankfully he veered into the grass before he face planted. I was so proud of him though because he got right back on. That's my boy!

And of course, here are a couple of pictures of our sweet Sophia.

Noah had a soccer game today and did awesome. He scored an amazing goal and had lots of great passes. No pictures because I was in the car with Sophia and Duane gets so "into it" that I think he forgot :). Hope you are all having a Saturday as full of blessings as ours has been!

Sophia update

Sophia grows more beautiful everyday and the whole family is falling more and more in love with her. The boys are doing great with her and want to hold and kiss her all of the time. Her daddy is already feeling how different having a daughter is going to be from our rough, tough boys! And her mommy is thrilled to have another female in the house :). Check out that dimple.

Sophia was one week old yesterday. Here are a couple of recent pics. Oh yeah, and you can expect blogs to be short and sweet for a while :)!

Sophia Grace

Sophia Grace has arrived! She entered the world at 2:48 Tuesday morning weighing a whopping 8 lbs 7oz. Her mommy is thankful that she was 2 weeks early! She was 20 1/2 inches long, has a head full of black hair and cute chubby cheeks. Here are a few pictures of our sweet new baby girl. Many more to follow soon I'm sure :).

Still hanging in

Just a little update. The good news - It's possible that little Sophia might not be as stubborn and strongwilled as her 2 older brothers! After her one failed attempt at coming into the world, it seems she's decided to give up and stay put :). The bad news - We have to wait longer to see her sweet face :( . Seriously though, we are thankful for the prayers on her behalf and God has been faithful to answer them and keep her safely inside until He is finished with her. We are very grateful for that and willing to wait a little longer. It shouldn't be more than 2 or 3 weeks anyway, and we all know how fast that amount of time flies by!
