Beautiful babies..They are starting to arrive!

This morning at 1 a.m a beautiful baby boy named Colson was born to my dear friend Nicole and her Hubby Jason. He is just absolutely adorable. I was able to spend some time with them and hold Colson. And, oh did he melt my heart. He is just so tiny and cute! Healthy and wonderful too! Next in line for the babies is....Stefany. She is due any day now..waiting and waiting. Then..who will be next?

Makes my Heart Melt

Paul and I went through a few boxes of his old baby items yesterday..it was fun to revisit his past and see his cute face at such a young age. One of my favorite things we found were his baby shoes that his mom had covered in Bronze. I am thankful for her part in our lives and thankful that she has allowed us to still have memories of Paul when he was such a young little guy..and further more that we get to pass on those memories to our little guy.

The Man has a new Do

For all you curious ones out there..Pauls hair is gone..and this is the new Do!

26 weeks..and growin'

Here is a belly shot to keep all you folk updated on the growth of the little Lavelle. We are both doing well and enjoying this time together:)

Family Pictures

Can't quite figure out how to organize my pictures..but here are some randoms that my mom sent..there will be more coming:)

This is my grandmas best friend Dot that we had breakfast with one morning at my Grandmas old Retirement home. They still keep in touch. Dot is 96! And she is just amazing. I always enjoy a good visit with the elderly. Just makes my day!

Anna is making a much needed phone call on her Banana phone.

Aunt Jodi and I on one of our lovely walks in Santa Barbara..   Me at 25 Weeks:)

Get the man out of the House..the girls are taking over!

I encouraged Paul to get out of the house..and well out of town during the time when us 4 girls were having our time together. He was certainly out numbered! He was here for some of the time and hung in there, but to his best judgement, he took a great biking trip in Arizona with his buddy. He had a great time and also took a well deserved holiday vacation!!!

Family visits

The last 2 weeks just flew by. All the excitement began when my sister Anna came for a week visit and we got to play and get ready for my baby shower. And then my mom and Aunt Jodi arrived and more fun was to be had. During this time I did not have my camera (Paul took it on his trip). I have a few pictures, but they will be arriving soon on a DVD that Anna put together. I am sorry they are not closer, but I did love every minute they were here and just feel so lucky to have such an awesome family!
