08.07.2009 Our First Family Adventure

We took our first family adventure to Plimoth Plantation when Maddox was just 1 week old! While Danika absolutely loved it, Maddox slept comfortably thru most of it.

This was also the introduction for Maddox to meet my Photography group. They swooned in like paparazzi's to meet him and take his picture. We felt famous!

Dani got to see lots of farm animals, go inside the pilgrim houses, talk and learn about the pilgrims and native people, and watch the pilgrims building a house. What a wonderful educational experience. I can't wait to go back again when the leaves start to change colors!

08.05.2009 Our Little Fish

Little Color Fish

Five little fishies swimming near the shore.
The red snapper took a bite and then there were four.
Four little fishies swimming in the sea.
The orange roughy fish swam away and then there were three.
Three little fishies in the ocean blue.
The pink salmon took a seahorse ride and then there were two.
Two little fishies swimming in the sun.
The yellow perch swam too far and then there was one.
One little blue marlin, now you're all alone.
I'll put you in my gold fish bowl and take you home.

08.06.2009 Getting to know Maddox

Maddox, you don't know how lucky you are...

Not only does everyone who meets you falls in love with you, but your sweet little sister can't get enough of you.
She already loves you so much. She kisses, hugs and snuggles you all day long.
And she loves to help us take care of you. One of her favorite things to do is sing to you when you are sad.

The two of you are so precious together.

What wonderful children, how proud we are of the both of you.

08.03.2009 Welcome home, Maddox!

Baby's First Night Home

Tonight as you lie sleeping
For the first time in your bed,
There must be something lasting
And profound that should be said.

But as your face is gazed upon
Framed by your soft, dark hair
No words can tell or quite express
The feelings that we share.

The wait is finally over
You're home, at last, to stay.
And there will always be the memories
Of the joy that filled this day.

With a love that's running over
By the sight of you alone
Welcome home, dear cherished one,
At long last welcome home!

08.02.2009 The Wilson's Visit

How excited were we to have the whole Wilson clan to come to the hospital and meet our new son. This brings back so many flashbacks of Dylan and Hattie when they were little. I can't believe how fast they have grown. Here's to many more wonderful memories with our children together!

You are all such a special blessing to us.

08.01.2009 Maddox meets his grandparents!

To the proud Grandparents

What a joy to be a mother
Or a father just the same
To see the little bundle who grows up
To take your name
But how joyous is the feeling
When this little child is grown
And bestows on you great treasures
Grandchildren of your own

08.01.2009 Danika's a Big Sister

{Pictures taken by my friend, Shawn, thanks so much for capturing these treasured moments}

Danika was so great with Maddox. As soon as she laid eyes on him, she wanted to be a big helper. She couldn't wait to touch him, hug him, and sing to him. They are going to be great friends. I can't wait!


More pictures of their first encounter.

I'm your Big Sister, Maddox

I like him!

07.31.2009 Meeting Maddox

We are overjoyed by the arrival of our new baby boy, Maddox. Lisa and Patrik did such a great job keeping me comfortable. They were a bit silly at times, but still awesome supports. What a great day! Happy Birthday, Maddox.
