We have had some major milestones in our house lately....
The first, as you can see, Rachel has started to crawl!
And we have had to start putting things up higher.
The second, Donnie started school yesterday!!!!
He was so nervous, I guess that is how it is when you
haven't been to school for 10 years.
We are so proud of him! GOOD LUCK DADDY!!!
Rachel Marie Hewes came to us on the 30th day of January 2009. She made her arrival at 6:16 am. She wieghed 6 pounds 13 onces, and was 19 1/2 inches long.
Worlds best big brother
Asher LOVES being a big brother (to Rachel). He loves to help out, holding, feeding, kissing, and even changing diapers.
One of the worlds big sisters
And then there was Eden... I think she is a little jealous about not being the baby anymore. Eden likes to help out too, poking in the eye, hitting on the head, and shaking her sister. Plus I think that she just doesn't grasp the concept of gentle.
And now there are THREE
We do love our little ones no matter what. You do have to admit we make cute kids.
Long night
Being a dad has taught me more than any other experience that I have had, and I have had a few. The joy that is felt when you feel instant love. When a child is born you love them so quick you think "is it even possible to love so much so fast".
How could this not be worth it?
It was a very long night and the longest birth of all three of my children, but the result was a beautiful baby girl sent to us from our Heavenly Father. I didn't think that I could love anyone else but when I first saw this little girl I knew that I loved her and that the Lord loved me for trusting me with her.
"...he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them.... And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones."
Asher had a big day on Sunday at church. He had his first day as a Sunbeam. It was also the first time that we have ever had a hard time getting him to go to Primary. Finally what got him to go was that his dad told him that they get to sing alot more songs in the big primary than in nursery. He is defenately his mother's son.
Eden also had a big day at church on Sunday, she is now in Senior nusery. Granted she spent most of the time in class with her mom. I think that the change in teachers was hard on her but who knows what runs through that little girl's head. She is defenately her father's daughter!
Trip to California
For Christmas this year our family went to California for ten days.
While we were there we were able to go visit a couple of the areas that Donnie served in on his mission.
We recieved the newest addition to our family before we came home, DAVIDSON, thank you Carol-Ann and Will.
The kids spent alot of time with their Grammie and Grampie and of course their cousin Dillon.
The first, as you can see, Rachel has started to crawl!
