Welcome Baby Rachel

Rachel came a little earlier than expected (only 3 weeks after our move...whew!). After a few days, she developed jaundice which brought us back to the children's hospital for some phototherapy (aka baby tanning bed). We had family visiting for about a month after her arrival. So now we're finally getting back to our new normal. Here are some pictures of her first month. What a beautiful blessing!

Sweet Brooke

Happy Birthday, Ella!

For Ella's 4th birthday, we decided to just meet a few close friends at the park. We all had a great time!

Family Fun in January

In January, we celebrated Andy's promotion to Major. We had some family come in town for the big event, which was lots of fun.

We're all so proud of Daddy! He gave each of us special gifts at the ceremony. Joshua especially enjoyed his nerf gun.

 

We decided to take our out-of-town family to see some of the local scenic sights. Joshua and Daddy had fun climbing on big rocks.

Ella and Brooke got to climb on their own not-so-big rocks.

We found the perfect family picture spot.

It's a Girl!

We are now 23 weeks along! Here are some ultrasound shots at 20 weeks. I get excited with every kick I feel. We are so thankful for God's blessings!

Her fist is up by her mouth.

Say cheese!

 

Hi, little one. Can't wait to see you in person!

Yes, I'm behind in posting, but here are some shots from our Christmas vacation in MD and PA that I just couldn't pass up.
