Oh Baby!

Our extended family had a new addition today....my cousin Stephanie and her husband and son welcomed another little boy in their family! The birth didn't go exactly as expected (click here to read about it in their own words), but everyone is healthy and well! The kids and I went to see their family today, and here are a few pics from our visit.

Baby Z! For some reason, he looks much bigger in the picture than he really is.

Parker and new big brother Cousin A love to play together!

My little girl is getting so big, and I personally don't think she could get much cuter.

Mommy and Baby Z....

....and me with Baby Z!

Kickin' it!

A couple of weeks ago, I signed Parker up for his first ever extra-curricular activity....soccer classes! We'd been telling him it was coming up, and he was super excited to go to his first of thirteen sessions last night. Here he is with his uniform on....

....and with Daddy....

....and with Mommy.

When he first headed out he was a bit shy, but as I expected he came out of his shell quickly and had such a blast! It was hilarious and so cute to watch the kids play. They did mostly little drills and other games that required following instructions, and Parker did great. So hard to believe he is already old enough for this!

Family time!

We recently said goodbye to my parents who had been here for a visit. We always love it when they are here, and this trip was no exception. We were able to relax, have fun, and even update our master bath (pics on that to come in a later post). Here are some pictures of their time here.

Reading books with Grandma....

All together!

Toothy grin!

She loves her Poppy!

While here, Mom bought the kids new towels. So cute!

As always it was sad to say goodbye, but we are already looking forward to their next visit!
