Parker Hudson Jones Has Arrived!!!

How is it that I am consistently late for EVERYTHING and both of my kids are very EARLY?! 

Parker arrived at 12:32 am on Wednesday, March 24th....a full four weeks early.  He was 6 lbs. 1 oz. and 18.75 inches long.  Just like with Peyton, my water broke on the evening of the 23rd.  Chris was out at a client dinner and I had to call him to come home.  Parker is the sweetest baby boy we could ever hope for.We want to spend the enitre day snuggling him! Relatively drama free, he sleeps and eats.  When he is hungry, he squeaks and grunts and rarely cries. He is a great eater and I am not sure that I can keep up!  Peyton just loves her "baby brother".  She never refers to him by name, just "baby brother".  She tries to be a big help in every way.  Chris and I are doing our best to exhibit patience as she constantly has her hands in the way of diaper changes and feedings.  Her favorite things to do are turn on all of the buttons on the swing and bouncers and jam the binky in Parker's mouth, whether he wants it or not.  None the less, we are thankful that she wants to be the best Big Sister and not the worst.

Here are lots of pics to show off our latest addition and how he spent his first week!

On another note, I have been meaning to upload pics of the house projects we have completed!  Here is Parker's Room and the kid's bathroom!

That is about all for now. More to come after Easter!!!

SOOO Much Love!!!

Peyton's OFFICIAL Third Birthday

How many 3rd birthdays can one kid have?! Well, if you are Peyton Raleigh, the answer is SEVERAL!  Here are some pictures from her official 3rd birthday.  We had a small party with PopPop, Lisa, Linsdsey and Tracey.

Minnie Mouse Cake to Honor our Trip to Disney

Where there is cake, Sam Jaye is sure to follow

Happy Birthday to you!

On second thought, red icing may not have been the best idea. :)

We have been busy busy these days.  The weather is finally starting to warm up, so every free moment is spent outdoors.  Peyton is really getting the hang of riding her bike.  She rode all the way up to the Cafe and home!  That is about a two mile round trip.  Only 5 more weeks until Parker's arrival. (we hope!)  It is slow going with the preparations for his room.  Still don't have a middle name yet. 

It may be a "game-time" decision!

I had to include this hilarious picture of Daddy and Peyton working in the office on their laptops.  Peyton wants to be just like Daddy in every way. She just loves to follow him around!

Much Love!
