Avalyn Rose

Our sweet little girl was born February 18th. She was a healthy 8 lbs 5 oz and has a full head of brown hair. Here she is - already 2 months old! She is smiling and cooing lots. Time is flyin!

Okay, let's start at the very beginning. Here is Avalyn in the hospital, born after almost 5 hours of labor. That morning I woke up to join Nathan and Jayden in the living room. I plopped down on the couch like it would be any other day but jumped right back up because my water broke that instant. These little angels always seem to come when you least expect it (my water broke with Jayden when I was helping a patient on the labor and delivery unit during nursing school).

Jayden just can't get enough of his new sister.

Gotta love the expression on her face.


We love our newest member of the family!

Halloween Fun

This year for Halloween we had a party at Nathan's parents' house and dressed up Jayden like Mario. Jayden actually cried when he first saw the mustache painted on his face. It was sadly adorable. We made his hat out of cardboard, red material, super glue, and duct tape (it was fun to try to be crafty again).

Jayden with his cute cousins, Lincoln and Ivy.

Adrienne's forming belly. We are having a girl in February! Yay!
