Dead tree fallen becomes a playground.....

Climbing around on a dead tree that we had saved as a woodpecker tree for over 5 years.  Well it gave up and toppled over, but the kids love it.....like a whole new piece of playground equipment!

Birthday party funny faces!

Everyone got to build a bear, eat cupcakes and make silly faces!  Little guy on the end is a little confused about that.......he is thinking "whaaaaa?"

Little Ruth Ann.......

nine days old,
how do you like the world so far?
Little Ruth Ann, nine days old,
what a lucky, lucky, lucky,
Lucky girl your are......

A take on a Barbra Streisand song I remember from long ago.......the tune has been onmy mind this week.

Little children and their smiles....except for Ruth Ann, who will smile soon.

And for some reason we do not know, little guy has to wear Mardi Gras beads at all times.   

The whole fam.....photo opp day.

It was hard to get the kids to leave mommy and daddy and the new one, after our hospital visit today.  A few tears and wanting mama were had on the way home.  Wow, the last two days.....so blessed by God.  So full of adrenaline.  So much a milestone in our lives.  Thank you Lord!

Ruth Ann in the world.....

The three little ones get to see and touch the newest addition.  Love was in the room.
