Here Comes Peter Cottontail!

I am horrible at posting new pictures.  Here are a whole bunch of pictures from Easter.

Dyeing Easter eggs is always exciting.  We have to remind the boys NOT to squeeze the hard boiled eggs.  Why is that their natural inclination?


I actually woke Hadley up to participate.  She wasn't thrilled.



Here is what the Easter Bunny left.  I think the kids made out good this year.


Hadley could have actually fit inside her basket this year.


Eating chocolate at 630am is normal, right?

Hadley got a hair bow but it's a little big on her tiny head.

Then we went to Pap Pap's house and played a little bball outside.



Nathan is playing baseball again this year.  His team is called the Oriole Rookies.




Ryan loves playing on the playground while Nathan plays baseball.

Meet Hadley Jo!

On March 8, 2014 at 9:00am, our family was completed with the birth of our beautiful daughter, Hadley Jo.  She is healthy and we are happy.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect outcome.  

She has the face of an angel. 

Our first picture with her.  Too bad she is crying.  

She was a little grumpy at first.

But then she met one of her big brothers.  Ryan is completely in love with her.  He always wants to "hold the baby" and "give baby kisses."  And he loves calling her Hadley Jo.  I'm so happy to have him to look after her in the years to come.

And Nathan was so happy when we brought her home.  He keeps telling her how much he loves her.  He shows her all his toys.  Being the big big brother is hard work, but Nathan is the perfect kid for the job.

Hadley is an itty bitty.  I forget how small newborns are.

Getting 3 kids to pose for a picture is hard work.  This one only took 20 minutes.

No denying that she's part of the family.  Look at how identical they all look.  Who is who?

Only a few days old and she is already changing her look.  Don't grow up too fast my little love!!

She curls up on me every night and I love it.

And Daddy love snuggling her every chance he gets!

So far, going from 2 kids to 3 kids hasn't been hard.  She is an easy baby and we are getting a good amount of sleep.  I couldn't imagine my life without her now.  We look forward to all the "firsts" we get to experience with her again.

Nathan is 5!

I can't believe that our first born just turned 5!  He is an amazing kid.  What a combination of smart, funny, sarcastic and all-around good natured!
