They Can Be Cute

We had an eventful Easter, to say the least. Who knew that the combination of sugar, church, and overly exciting activities would lead to such drama?! The story behind that will be the subject of another post.

For now, feast your eyes on my cute offspring in their matching (of course!) outfits:

Sisters! I am so excited to be able to say that now that we have added Little Sprout to the family. The Drama Queen was pirouetting in her turquoise and black dress all day, and Little Sprout was irresistible in her bubble dress, even more delicious than any old chocolate bunny.

Brothers! I caught the boys relaxing together on the recliner in their matching outfits. I wonder how many more years I can pull off the whole matchy clothing thing before the kids start protesting?

My new blog header is my favorite picture of the day, but this one is a close second. No question that these kiddos are related, eh?

Grandma and Papa came over for a heart-attack-inducing Easter dinner. Can you tell the grandkids love them lots?!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

She's Here!

And I am so thrilled, so blessed, so insanely happy to be posting this picture today. (Although 41 weeks was technically last Wednesday, but hey cut me some slack, I just had a baby!) :)

I have lots to share about the wonderful birth experience and the amazing bundle of joy that God chose to bless us with, but those will have to wait until a later date. Right now, I am just trying to soak up all these first moments with my family, to get adjusted to life with a newborn again as well as balancing four kids, and to enjoy this Christmas season with my man and kiddos.

And here she is - introducing Hosanna Joy, who arrived very early on Sunday morning (December 11th). She weighed in at seven pounds fifteen ounces and measured 20 inches long. She looks so much like my newborn pics of the Spud. Of course, she has the Foster blue eyes, but she was born with the darkest hair of any of my kids. It is already starting to get a little lighter though - I am sure she will join our ranks of blondies.

Our family is full now and completely blessed. Eeny, meeny, miny, mo - whichever you choose, they light up my heart and make me smile. :)
