Summer

Hello All....yes, it has been a while since a post but we've had a busy summer. Garrett is growing so quickly and is an awesome baby. Sleeps for 8-10 hours a night and is happy most of the day. Alaina is loving her new bike. Lily took swim lessons for a couple weeks before we spent the next 2 weeks in Iowa seeing lots of family. We had a great time back and it's always nice to see everyone if only for a short visit. Here's some random pics from the summer/trip to Iowa.

 5 BOY cousins all born within 2 months of each other. So much fun. And they all have older sisters. :)

 the only family of 5 picture we have in the last couple months.

Happy Father's Day!

We hope Grant had a great Father's Day. We grilled some Iowa steaks and went strawberry picking. Had a great day outside. Thanks for being a great Daddy to our 3 kiddos. We all love you! Thanks for keeping Mommy sane. :) 

It's a Boy!!!!!!!!

 Garrett Michael was born Monday May 20 at 11:50am. He weighed 8lbs 8oz and was 20.5 inches long. His 2 big sisters are so excited. Sorry this pics are not in any particular order, but are of the last few days in the hospital. We got home yesterday and are doing well. Had our pedi MD visit today and he's already gaining weight. WAHOO!! The pic above is the girls meeting him for the first time.

 Aunt Rachel and Grandma came and helped with the girls while we were in the hospital. The girls are loving all the attention.

 He loves to cuddle! I'm loving it.

 First pic as a family of 5!

 Sorry these are out of order. This is the last pic taken before Garrett arrived that morning.

 I have to say everyone in the OR was very excited when Grant announced it was a boy. Working in the OR as a nurse, I know it's not normally loud in there but after Grant said it was a boy everyone was very excited!!

 My fantastic team of doctors and nurses!

 Meeting Garrett for the first time.

Happy May Day!

Can't believe it is May 1st. Scheduled C/S in less than 3 weeks!! The weather has been beautiful lately which means we spend most of the days outside, which means I'm getting nothing done in the house. Oh well. We just got a new camera for when the new baby arrives so we had to take a few random shots of the girls. New camera=way better pictures!!

 Kisses for baby at 36 weeks. I have to document what week on here or I will never remember when I go to print pictures sometime in the next year. :)

 Outside fun!
