Guess what we did on Saturday!?

THE HENRY FORD!! I know, I know, we always go there! But I bought a membership so its free and fun. However, the camera battery went about 30 minutes after we arrived so I only have a few photos and boy do they suck- LOL. I’ll post them to show the world. They have Christmas [...]

Less than and Crystal invited us to their home for a 1pm Thanksgiving feast. It was a full house too. There were a total of 8 adults and 12 children. My parents, two brothers and our family were in attendance this time. Its so nice for the cousin to be able to get together and [...]

A blanket from Drew’s cousins

Madeline, Aubrey, Nathan, & Lily sent Drew a blanket.  All the kids went to the fabric store with their mother and picked out their favorite fabric, came home and made it all together. They did a fabulous job. Picking a fleece fabric was so smart. Although they live in warm, sunny CA, they know it [...]

Lucas turns 5 years old!

On November 18th Lucas turned 5 years old. Yes my child #4 and child #5 are 5 years apart in age. That isn’t a big deal at all but it is a bit funny because all the rest are a lot closer in age and then we have this huge gap! The day before his [...]

Grandma sends Drew a blanket

Drew with his big brothers and sister

I took a picture of each child with their little brother at the hospital when they saw him for the first time. The pictures came out GREAT! Drew was being wiggly for Lucas as you can tell in the photo.  I was proud of Lucas focusing on the camera and not him.

And then there were FIVE…

We came home from the hospital today. The kids have been overly excited to see Drew. It’s been HIGH SPEED at our home. Nolan and Lucas seem to be running from room to room!  We are glad we had the few days in the hospital to ourselves with him. There is always someone wanting to [...]
