Welcome Makayla Jane!

 Proud Daddy!

 

 Momma and Makayla got lots of bonding tome for the first hour after she was born

 

 Zeke didn't want anything to do with Makayla when he first showed up, but since he can't hold her enough.

born September 20th at 11:21am

6lbs 4.9oz & 19inches long

 

 The kids, well mostly Malachi, became more interested in the fighting spiders outside my window than baby sis.

Kaitlin was very protective over Mj when the nursing students were doing an evaluation on her.

 



 The proudest big sister ever!!!

Back to School

Malachi's first full day of Kindergarten was Wednesday.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to get enough of these precious smiles!

 



 Ezekiel didn't want to be left out, so he was constantly photo bombing the pictures.

 

Kaitlin's first day of second grade was Tuesday.

Even Daddy teared up on Wednesday when we officially had two of our children getting on the bus.

My emotions are torn in two. Part of me is excited to see my children growing and looking forward to their new adventure, but the other part of me doesn't want them leaving or growing anymore. Yes I think this is where the term bittersweet must have come from.

Anyway, the other day Levi said to me maybe that's why some people have lots of kids, so that they always have some little ones at home and they don't feel the emptiness as much when the older ones grow and head off to school. If you're wondering if this means we will be having more after four, the answer is no. Or I should say no four is enough of our own, but maybe way down the road we will adopt. Which I guess that would probably be at the time when all of my children are fully independent and I have still so much love to shower onto some more children. But before I get ahead of myself I will cherish the time I have been blessed with my three (soon to be four) children, and continue to pray that I will be the mommy God has called me to be to them.
