Easter and more Baby Luke

Our four shiny, happy children on Easter Day.

Pictures from our Egg Hunt

(mostly of Eden cause she just looked so darn cute.)

And now baby Luke Alan...

Not much I can say exept that he's an angel and we love him lots.

(and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots...)

The End.

Spacing

O.k. So when I put together my blog posts they are usually spaced all nicely and my captions line up perfectly with my pictures and everything is nice and neat and orderly. Then I go to publish and my posts show up all crazy and wonky and not looking at all how they were when I pushed the "publish post" button. The spacing comes out all weird, and words and pictures that were right by each other show up all spaced out. It bugs me SO MUCH. Does anyone know why? Or how to keep this from happening? I spend forever going through trying to fix it after I've posted and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Any tips would be appreciated. :) Or maybe it's my computer? Or just me? Anyways, please excuse my sloppy looking posts...

Baby Luke

Welcome Baby Luke

Born April 3rd, 9:45 a.m.

7 pds. 8 oz.

19 1/2 inches long

So, three weeks ago my sweet baby boy was born. I meant to post much earlier than this, but having four kids has really thrown me for a loop. My life has been beyond crazy, beyond busy. I feel like I'm barely keeping up. But it is worth it. So very, very worth it. All thanks to this little guy...

I really cannot believe how much I love him. (I know every mom feels that way.)

Dads too...
Here's the classic, getting weighed picture...A perfect 7 1/2 pounds

Here are the kids when they first see Luke. Emily takes after her mama...super emotional. She started crying the second she saw him...

Checking him out...

Eden holding Luke for the first time, she was so sweet and just kissed and caressed and nuzzled him...she was instantly in love.

So was Emily...

And of course Justin was too...

Going home...

So happy to be home...

It's been so wonderful to have Luke here. Most of you know but for those that don't...Luke surprised us by coming three weeks early. I have had all of my babies early, but we still didn't expect to have him quite THAT early. It was perfect though...everything went beautifully and smoothly. The whole experience was amazing as it has been with all of my children. Seriously, there is nothing more exciting than knowing you are going to meet your little baby for the first time, and there is nothing more precious than that moment when you actually do. Nothing. Thank you, thank you baby Luke for coming to our family!!!

Weeks 1-2

Luke: One week old...

Emily is an awesome helper. Really, I couldn't do this without her...Big sisters are the bomb.
She's an excellent burper...

Eden has been a great big sister too...I can't believe she is a big sister now!

Justin is the best big brother, I knew he would be.

I like this picture of him and Luke...both boys spacing off...

Little stud muffin...

Crazy eyes...

That's better...

One of our first outings...my friend Amber got him all snug for me. :)

Luke: 2 weeks old

So happy to have this little boy here...
