Up at 4:30 this morning, kind of ironic since a year ago today we had to be up at 4:30 to head to the hospital for Silas's arrival. Can a year really have gone by since then?
Here I am at 9 months pregnant. I felt huge, but actually gained less weight than I did with either of the other boys. Hard to believe I was carrying an almost 9 pound baby.
.Meeting mommy and Daddy for the first time. We couldn't get over how big you were or how much you looked like your brothers.
Happy times in the recovery room. I was so glad that I wasn't in terrible pain like I had been after having Noah or so drugged up I could only sleep like after I had Levi.
The boys were so excited to meet you for the first time. Noah had been "afraid you wouldn't be a brother" and he so desperately wanted you to be a boy. When we called to say you were a boy, he was so excited he was jumping up and down. Levi was mostly curious about you - I think he still is since he finds it necessary to experiment with you all the time...
My precious little one: You are growing up way too quickly. I miss it, this sweet newborn stage when you snuggled right against me like you really were part of me. Please don't grow up so fast.

It was so nice to be able to hide their baskets outside - still some snow in the back ground, but it's on the retreat.
Aren't they adorable?! I'm so proud of my three adorable little men.
Silas has discovered that he loves to play outdoors. He can spend hours out on the deck watching the boys play in the yard and Daddy doing work. There are still snow drifts in the yard, but the ground is finally coming to light after so many months.
Mya and Levi played on the deck and in the yard with Blake and Jenna.
