First official haircut, that is... I cut just a bit off at 4 months, but the comb over was getting a little out of hand and we needed some professional help! Andrew loved the little red car he got to sit in. I was a bit concerned, because he really can't sit yet, but he did wonderful! He looked like such a big boy when it was finished. Next was cousin Eliza's turn... she did great as well and loved seeing such a pretty little girl in the mirror! Holly and I had a wonderful day together and our sweet babies even took a two hour nap at the same time! Holly helped me get the house cleaned up and make a big pork chop, glorified mashed potatoes and fresh green bean meal for our company (Mark, Jen and Samuel-3 months old). We ended the evening with chocolate chip cookies, of course!
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
Andrew's Arrival
Andrew was born July 10, 2008 at 8:04am. He was 8lbs 11.5oz and 21.5in long. There was some concern that he may not fit through the birth canal, but with the help of our doula (Julie) and many prayers, he was delivered without any complications.
Isaiah's Arrival
Isaiah Timothy was born May 29, 2010 @ 2:03pm. He was 7lbs 8oz and 21 inches long. We had a wonderful all-natural birth experience with no complications. What a blessing!
