And then there were four

Meet Easton Spencer almost 2 days old

On November 11 2009, our little Easton finally decided to make his appearance...with a little help...We went into the hospital Tuesday night to be induced and after a long day of laboring he finally came at 2:57 pm the next day. I started to progress a lot faster than I normally do this time, which got me all excited thinking this was actually going to happen fast...but in the end this little guy did what all my kids have done, and took his dear sweet time. It was a long day. He weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces and was 20 inches long. He is absolutely perfect and none of can seem to get enough of him. I have found myself just laying around staring at him a lot these past couple of days. I love the newborn stage so much, it's seriously one of my favorites, it always goes by too fast, so as a result, I am determined to enjoy every minute of it, even the ones in the middle of the night. All the kids are always wanting to hold him and Tay is all about helping out, she loves to burp him, and even wants to change his diapers; anything that has to do with him she wants to do. I asked her if she wanted to trade him in for a sister and she looked at me like I was crazy..and immediately replied with a very firm NO! He is such a wonderful addition to our family.

Minutes after he was born

One day old

5 days old.

Seriously she can't get enough of him.


Our four cute kids.

Just home from the hospital. Because of all the gunk going around right now, the kids were not allowed in the hospital. Taylor and Chase were crushed, especially Tay. Here we all are minutes after coming home from the hospital. The kids were all oooing and ahhing over him. The first picture is Talan blowing on him. We weren't sure why he was blowing on him, but it made us laugh and once he realized that he started doing it even more. He is our little clown...anything for a laugh.


I am so blessed. I love being a mother.
