Update on Will

Little Will came home yesterday.

As the pictures show, he's still in denial about this whole "life" thing and mostly tries to sleep it off. But you can bet that three older siblings aren't going to let him sleep too much.

Welcome William

William Craig Davidson
June 11, 2009
6 lbs 2 oz - 18 inches

We were very pleased to welcome William to our family on Thursday. He surprised us with his timing and his dark hair.

He's got some great big sisters - you can see he's delighted to meet them.

Amy & William are both doing well - for which we feel very blessed.

Army Girls

I took Emma & Abbie to see the Thunderbirds at Hill Field on Saturday. I really enjoyed the air show, but I think the part that intrigued the girls the most was that several of the soldiers directing traffic on base were women - or "Army Girls" as they put it. Well here are a few shots of my Army Girls:

Being loaded into the back of a C-17

Taking control of that C-17

contemplating a career switch to NASA

But space-travel isn't nearly as macho as flying Fighter Jets

Abbie looks like she's ready for the job. I just hope for her sake that these jets are a lot quieter on the inside, because the first high speed pass from an F-18 jolted her right out of her chair as we ate our picnic lunch. She has the bruise on her knee to prove it. Notwithstanding the jets that snuck up on us, we had a blast at the air show. Can't wait until next year.

Water Boy

This little boy loves water! Yesterday, there were many squeals

of delight among the splashes, especially when I asked,

“What are you doing?”. The enthusiastic scream "WA, WA!!"

was the response, everytime.

I'm A Mom!

The Sad, Sad Truth!

Super Soaker Saturday

The kids have been begging for a water day

ever since the snow melted. So, with the

warm weather today we got out the water gear

and had a little wet fun.

Here we come summer!

Ticker

Two days ago, I put up this countdown to baby ticker on my blog. I saw it on my sister’s page and thought it was cute (I want to look like that perfectly pony-tailed pregnant girl). For two days now, every time I click on my blog, there is a number unabashedly staring at me and it feels like it never changes. Only one little number change every 24 hours—Do you know how long 24 hours is?!? Today I found myself wondering how many times I will do all the repetitive daily tasks that leave me out of breath or just bone tired before a number will fall off. And then the inevitable happened – I multiplied that daily figure by 61. Now, that‘s the REAL ticker. I’m banishing all numbers from my mind and that wafer thin little girl with the perfect baby bump better watch out. I don’t think she’s going to last 61 days on MY page.
