The past few weeks

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind around here.

We've had so much wonderful help and I am so thankful for it all!

Grandma came for a week to meet Anna Claire and to help out with the other 2 little ones. 

The following week, Grayson went home with Grandma and Caroline spent a few days with Mimi. 

So we had some sweet time with just Anna Claire.

Mimi brought Caroline and Grayson back and stayed with us for a week.

Then, when Mimi left, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Andrew came to stay for several days.

The kids always have so much fun with them, so Grayson was sad in this picture because they were about to leave.

 

And there is a sweet happy face!

We are so blessed to have such amazing families who are always willing to help and who so lovingly take care of our children.  

Thank you!

Meet Anna Claire

Anna Claire

September 15

8 lbs. 9 oz.

20 3/4 in. long

She came pretty quickly Sunday morning, arriving 10 days ahead of due date.

Her brother and sister are in love and so are we.

Thank you Mimi and Papa for driving at such short notice!

These goody bags from Anna Claire to her BIG brother and BIG sister were very successful in keeping them occupied while visiting in the hospital.

After a very restful stay in the hospital, we were finally ready to go home.

They were eager to celebrate Anna Claire's birthday once we got home.  So we had some cake for the special occasion.

We are so thankful to the Lord for blessing us with another little miracle.  She has truly been a JOY so far!! We are looking forward to the days ahead to get to know sweet Anna Claire.

We will NEVER forget!!

Lord willing, we WILL be back next year--same time, same place!! With one more child to add to the mix!! We can't wait!!!
