Okay, one of my goals for the new year has been to get a blog up and going.....mostly so I can send pictures to my mom and pretend that someone else is interested in our lovely little lives down here in Texas. Also, it seems to be the latest rage and since I have so much spare time with our kids and I figured it would be a good filler :-)
Latest News:
Abigail was born January 13th at 2:11am weighing in at 7 pds 3 oz and 19 3/4 inches long. The labor went really well and besides us waiting yet again to go to the hospital or in this case the birth center, (really Ben I thought I had more time...) and her almost being born in the parking lot, it was awesome. I am completely sold on Nativiti Birth Center and thoroughly enjoyed the large hot tub, big bed with down comforter, and homemade German chocolate cake. Abbey is nursing really well and surviving her sisters who all want to hold her at the same time despite the fact that they all have colds. Ben is amazing and has stayed home all week to do dishes, make meals, play with the girls and let me sleep.

Yeah! Tiffany (Ben's sister) had her baby boy on January 15th. (I love that I went into labor on her due date and she had her baby on my due date). He is beautiful although I am sure he would rather be referred to as handsome and Ben got to witness the circumcision at which he nearly fainted.
I think one of the cutest things in the world are Dads with newborns. Audrey looked pretty cute this morning too so we had to post that as well. Of course, I don't think the pictures do Abby justice, but I guess all moms think that. She is just so beautiful.
This is our first 'dad had to go back to work' day. We are handling things pretty well so long as we keep Sadie fed. Today we made peach smoothies. I was quite proud of myself that we were all dressed and no major accidents until....well, you have probably already read that post.
