Gavin's Blessing

Gavin Michael was blessed July 5th, 2009 by his Daddy. It was such a special day and we are so happy to have him in our family! Here are some sweet pics of that special day!

Fourth of July

This Fourth of July was the first we had spent together as a family because since we have been married Ryan has always worked that night. Well, this year was a big one. We both had the night off, we had bought tickets for Symphony on the Prairie, we had a picnic made...and we woke up to thunderstorms!! It rained the whole day. Needless to say, we did not make it to the Symphony. We had a wonderful day in the rain and finally about 9pm, Ryan and Lexi decided to shoot fireworks off in the rain. But before the sun went down we managed to get these pics on the front porch shielded from the rain! Altogether, it was a fun and rainy fourth of july and we enjoyed every second of it!

The Cousins

While my sister was in from Denver last month, we were able to get all the kids in for a photo shoot. They did considerably well and we got some great pics! What a bunch of cuties!!

Don't shoot projectile explosives off of glass tables, especially when they are upside down.

This is a gem from last year, photos from this year to come.

You Are My Sunshine

Gavin Michael was born Wednesday June 10, 2009 at 9:09am. He was 7lbs. 14oz. and 19.75 inches long. He is absolutely perfect in every way! He has such a sweet disposition and he doesn't cry 20 hours a day like his sister did (much to the relief of his mother). He is such a wonderful addition to our family and we are all completely smitten with him.

These are his hospital pictures. They actually have a studio in the hospital that takes the baby pictures.

This is Gavin shortly after birth. I love how even the c-section babies have that swollen water-overload look.

Mommy and Gavin together for the first time! He is so precious. Don't you like the hair net??

Daddy and Gavin in recovery. Daddy was the first person to get to hold Gavin (besides the doctor and nurses). The nurse handed him to Ryan and Gavin fell silent for the first time. He cried from the time they pulled him out until they gave him to Ryan. How sweet!!

And of course the proud sister! Lexi is so in love with her little brother. She would sit and hold him all day if he would let her. But he seems to like mom some of the time too. Can't imagine why??

Isn't she so sweet? While we were in the recovery room, Gavin was crying and couldn't be consoled. Lexi began singing "You Are My Sunshine" and he fell silent. When she quit, he began again. So she started singing again, and he quit crying. She is now our little singer when Gavin is crying!

Our first family picture. This was the day we went home. What a sweet day!

WAY TO GO RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stubborn

After 2 months of bladder infections, 6 months of heartburn, 6 months of contractions, 4 weeks of bedrest, 7 weeks off work, swollen ankles, back pain, and 2 labor scares we have finally decided to relent and give in to a repeat c-section. This baby is proving to be even more stubborn than the child we have now. He is in no hurry to get here and I think if he had his way he would stay in me forever. So, the date is set! Wednesday June 10th we will cheat nature and force this child to come. Stay tuned for updates and pics of soon to come Baby Wing!

Once Upon a Lily Pad

Starring Lexi Wing!! And of course she did fantastic!! This little girl had 40 lines, a solo, and all the songs that the rest of the kids sang as well to memorize and she did great!! She didn't mess up once, was the most confident one out there and the most understandable. She has a natural talent. We are so proud of her!!! I don't think I can brag enough...I have never been so proud of anyone in my entire life! As we were going to the classroom after the play, I overheard many parents saying how "incredible that Lexi Wing was". And she really was that incredible! A video of Lexi's solo coming soon!!

The Belly

For all those curious...here it is! The belly pic at 35 weeks! 5 more weeks! Woohoo!!!!
