Thankful

Well this may be the short version but I had to get even the basics down while it's still November:

Our sweet, gentle, snuggly, baby boy was born just over a week ago. We had the opportunity to be induced at 39 weeks and we took it! He came quickly (like Emma did), start to finish I think we were 4 hours.


This Thanksgiving season I feel very blessed to start another chapter of life with my growing family, a new home-to-be, and one more move. I'm grateful my husband found the perfect home for our family at this time. I'm grateful Parker came quickly and safely with no health issues. I'm grateful Emma is such a big helper and a great big sister. I'm also grateful for my husbands constant loving care over all of us.

I feel blessed to have my mother here with me for this transition with Parker too. She is one of those tender mercies that I'm always praying for. I couldn't be more pleased that she was able to come and help in every way imaginable. It's going to be hard to see her head back home.

Now, on with the pictures:

cute Emma, the big sister.

Olivia likes to snuggle with the baby.

Yup, REALLY likes to snuggle with the new baby.
