Introducing Elizabeth Jean!!

Welcome baby Elizabeth! After laboring at home all day Friday, Sept 3rd...mommy went to the hospital at 12:30am Saturday Sept 4th and after an awesome birthing experience....Elizabeth Jean was born at 8:21am weighing in at 8lb. 14oz (big girl!) 19 1/2 inches.

Mommy stayed in the hospital 2 nights...one night with daddy and one night with Auntie Katie so daddy could go home to Evan.

Evan is a GREAT big brother and loves his baby sister!!

So far this new family of 4 is adjusting to home life just fine!

Our Little Friday

Today was Evan and Mommy Friday. Evan doesn't go to preschool on Fridays so we made the most of the day. We started off by heading to the beach in the morning for a little walk. Then we ran some errands and had lunch at Panera Bread. After that we headed to Jackson's Landing in Durham to the park. Evan enjoyed a nice cool bath when we got home and a late afternoon nap. Mommy then had to put her feet up because they were really swollen!! It was a nice little Friday! Could be the last one as just mommy and Evan!

Blue Angels

Yesterday we went to Adam's Point in Durham to catch a glimpse of the Blue Angels at the Pease Airforce Base. After walking for a while (due to lots of people having the same idea), mommy was very tired so we only stayed for about a 1/2 hour. We got to see the Blue Angels fly overhead and had a relaxing time watching them!

Dentist!

Evan and mommy had dentist appts today for cleanings. Evan did an absolute FANTASTIC job the whole time!! He went once when he was 2 yrs old and he was great then as well. Dr. Ramos taught Evan how to brush his teeth real well. He counted 20 teeth and said they were really healthy!

Monkey Joes

Yesterday we went to Danvers, MA to a place called Monkey Joes which is an indoor bouncy house place. We rode with Andrea and Liv and we met up with Katie and Nathan there! All the kids had a blast for almost 2 hrs running and jumping around!

Afterwards, Andrea, Liv, Evan, and mommy went to one of Andrea's childhood memories...Putnam's Pantry to make our own ice cream sundae! Evan and mommy shared a mocha chip sundae loaded with hot fudge, whip cream, marshmallow, jimmies, and oreos! Yum!

Big change...making room for baby girl

We switched rooms with Evan this weekend resulting in a bigger room for him......so he can share a room with his sister when she arrives! We figured we would do it now so it will be ready for her arrival and for Evan to get used to the idea....

Great night for a ride

This afternoon we went to grandpa's house on the pond and took a boat ride with him, Katie, Jeremy, and Nathan! It was Evan's first time on a boat and he loved it! He even got to help grandpa drive it!
