Happy Leap Day!

Today Makayla is three weeks old! It has already gone by so fast. Our family and household has been all out of sorts but we are surviving and I think we are starting to (sort of) figure it all out. We still have a ways to go but we are hopeful! :) Here are some pictures from her first three weeks...
1 week
2 weeks
First bath!
3 weeks
And of course, the rest of my sweeties... we needed a family outing by week 2, so we loaded up and went to the zoo! Makayla too (oh, the differences between your first and second...), but we didn't get a picture of her.

Makayla Alexandra

Born February 8, 2012 at 10:20 am, weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. and 20.5 inches long. Makayla came two days before her due date and quite unexpectantly. I was a little bit in denial, thinking that I was probably not in labor. Thankfully, Rob got me to the hospital just in time to have Makayla an hour and twenty minutes later. We are so blessed and grateful for the gift of a third child! Life, as we knew it would be, has gotten just a little bit crazier.
Thank you to all our family and friends who have been such a huge help and encouragement to us!





Behold, children are a gift of the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Psalm 127:3
