One Month Already??!!!

I can't believe Seth is already one month old. It has all gone by so fast! It seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital. I don't know if it is because time really is flying or because I'm so busy with the other two and taking care of the whole family and I forget to notice. Whatever it is, I'm happy to have this cute little guy around. He is so precious- I love his little bright-eyed look. I love the time I get to spend with him- even if it is in the wee small hours. :) I could sure use a good nights sleep- someday! :) He is worth it though and we're happy to have a precious little "one month old" in the house!

I think it is so funny how he is only blinking one eye in this- he doesn't always do that. :)

It's not every day you REALLY DO have a bouncy house in your back yard...

A while back I said how nice it would be to have one of these things in your back yard to help "wear-out" the kid. My wish came true. :) Our housing had a fun picnic on saturday- they girls went crazy with the bouncy house. (It was hard to get them off.)

A Walk Around Campus

Doug took us for a walk around campus to see one of his class project displays for Earth Week. It was awesome, but we showed up just as they were taking it down, so I didn't get any good pictures. We had a fun walk around campus though and everything is so beautiful as it gets greener! I love spring and the newly budding life!

This good man knows how much I love his sweet and sour chicken! He cooked me up an amazing batch for our anniversary and a sweet friend watched the girls (Thanks Leslie!) while we watched a good movie. It was really fun- he is sure good to me. I feel so greatful for a sweet companion who helps out so much. He has been amazing with the kids and with helping me around the house. I love this guy!

Five Happy Years!!!

Happy Anniversary to us! Here's a little walk down memory lane after five years. I look at these and think, goodness we have aged, but so has our love (in a good way- gets better with time. :) MY friend, Noelle took the engagement pictures. I thought she did a good job.

What a way to start out a good marriage... I wish we could afford to be in Europe like we were five years ago. It was an amazing honeymoon- we spend 2 1/2 weeks in both London and Paris. It was so fun to explore such an amazing place together. We are still saying "Remember Europe" all the time!

A first time for everything...

Seth's first little nail trim... it always makes me nervous when they are so little, but the poor kid was tearing his face apart.

Can you tell he just ate... one satisfied kid.

Shoe fetish... the girls have taken to trying on our shoes. Keeps the busy for quite a while!

Does it get any sweeter?

I am just loving this little guy! He changes so much every day! I'm feeling so grateful to have his sweet little spirit in our home! What a lucky gal I am! I just love my girls and my good husband! Life is SWEET!

Oh BOY... I've got Joy!!!!

Just thought I would share the baby announcement that I made for Seth. Check out my announcement blog for more examples. http://stewartstudio.blogspot.com/

Good Day Sunshine....

We took such a lovely walk through the campus arboretum. It was beautiful and it felt so good to get out into the sun. I think Seth liked the fresh air. Things are starting to get so green and lovely! Yay for SPRING!

Our timing wasn't so great, we hit it right on Autumn's nap. :) What do you do?

She's got a ticket to ride...

Grandma and Grandpa surprised Autumn with a new big wheel bike. The girl could not be happier- she is ready to take off EVERY minute of the day! We live on a hill, so she has gotten pretty strong carrying her bike up after a quick ride down.

We celebrated Mom's birthday while she was here. She was a good sport, because things were pretty hectic, but we had a fun birthday dinner.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...

I have missed my family a lot! It has been so fun to have Mom, Dad, and Pete here! Dad surprised me by bringing a big tub of flowers (he knows how much I love them!) and arranging them all over the house. They have been so cheery and beautiful- thank you King Daddy!!! He has played so sweet with the girls- they are so lucky to have such good Grandparents!

I don't know that every sister that is five months pregnant would travel all that way to do her sisters dishes and play with her busy little nieces. Bethany was such good company! It was so fun to visit with her! I love you sis!

Mom is amazing- she is still here for a couple more days... I'm so glad- she has been such a great help, bathing the baby, doing dishes (all the time), making meals, doing laundry, and taking the girls on walks. She is the "Best in the WEST!"

Snuggle Time

Amberlee almost never takes a nap, but Doug wrapped her up like a baby and put Seth on top, and they both took a great nap together. I thought it was cute.

We are all lined up for an Easter Egg Hunt- Doug hid the eggs around the house. It was fun to watch the girl look for them.

Easter Re-Cap

Yes, we are still alive! Between how busy I am with this new little addition and then we were having problems with the computer monitor, I just haven't had much time for the blog. We are doing well though. We have been enjoying a fun visit for my family (Mom, Bethany, & Dad). They have been such a great help. But before I catch up on their visit, I thought I better make a little late Easter post.

These girls are so lucky- their Dad went out and stocked them up on eggs and easter goodies. He was so cute about stuffing the eggs and baskets.

I thought these Easter dresses I found turned out cute. I put the girls hair in curlers. (Autumn was ok with it as long as she knew that it would turn out like one of the Disney Princesses.)
