Old Baker Farm

Chase had his first fieldtrip as a Kindergartener...Luckily I was able to coax my mother-in-law into coming over to watch Kate and Nolan so I could go. It was soooo much fun to spend the day with Chase!

Nolan's First Soccer Game

Nolan was a great soccer player today! He absolutely loves to play and scored the first goal of the season for his team! Needless to say we were so proud. He looked over to the sideline and gave a quick thumbs up to Hank, Chase and I!

Kate's Blessing

Last weekend was so special for our family. As we have done with each of our children, Hank had the opportunity to give Kate a beautiful blessing at church. My parents flew into town and Hank's mom and sister came down from Nashville to spend this special occasion with our family. Hank did a beautiful job blessing her and she looked precious in her white gown. While I was getting her dressed, Nolan came into the room and stared at her for a couple minutes and then softly kissed her forehead and whispered "You are the most beautifulest girl in the whole world." Those our the moments of motherhood that make it all worth it!

BIG Week for Nolan

Nolan has really had a tough time with Chase starting school and being gone all day...no one to play with...I am apparently not as fun as Chase or Dad.

With that being said, we were happy that his week has officially started and he is thrilled...as you can see.

First day of Preschool

New Backpack

First Soccer practice

Making cookies for his lunch!

First Day of School!

I cannot believe that my little boy is old enough for school. He was so excited to go and I was not as excited to let him go. He was so cute as he got out of the car and said bye to Hank and I...so proud to be in Kindergarten! We will miss him so much during the day, but I am sure we will find things to keep us busy! We love you Chase!

Our Little Kate...

I really cannot believe that it has been two weeks since Kate was born. She has been a fantastic baby sleeping so much more than my boys ever did. We were so blessed to have my mom and my mother-in-law here to help during the first weeks. Everyone is now gone and I am left home with three children...hopefully we will all survive!

Welcome Baby Kate!!! 7lbs 2oz..21inches..born at 11:15am

Jess was AWESOME!!! We thought we were in for a very long day because she was only dialated to a 4 after about 12 hours. But after the epidural, she quickly went to a 10 within 30 minutes. The nurse had to hold Kate's head in so she could wait for the doctor. Jess pushed one time and she came right out.

She is our pretty princess and the boys love her so much. Chase was a little unsure at first, but after she had her bath, he warmed right up to her. Nolan had tons of questions like "Why doesnt she have any clothes on when she comes out?" and "Is she kept in a cage in mommys tummy before she's born? Is that why shes so dirty?"

We are so blessed to have a little girl join our growing family and will update pictures soon! Thanks to everyone who called and emailed their support! We love you guys!
