The three musketeers become the Fantastic Four!

We brought Andee home and Damon was such a good little brother. The next day when he woke up he looked up at me so confused. I could tell he was thinking "why is this little baby still here?"

Ok - let's see where's the mute button?

Andee is such a pretty baby. I know you cant really tell here, but she really is something special. She was born at 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 21.5 inches long. Her personallity is kinda like a 15 yr old girl. Dramatic! When she cries it sounds like the whole world is coming to an end. We love the heck out of her. She looks just like me and acts just like Shae.

Ouchwee!

When Shae started having contractions I had no idea. They started at 1:00 am Dec 1 and by 8:00 am I knew, this was it. By about 2:00 pm it was time. Damon brought mommy his favorite blanky, teddy bear and trains. In the pictures above I made Shae say "ouchwee instead of ouchie" that is what Damon says when he hurts himself. It made labor kinda like a game. Fun! I could do this a few more times - no problem!

Wait, where did the tree go?

This was the night before our little Andee May joined the team. Shae looked great even at 9 months. She said that she had an uncle named Bob Hawkins that used to pull his pants up over his huge belly. "Match this one Bob".

There's the tree - Next to the bean pole!

Christmas, a time for relaxing and taking a break from school. Actually, I was facing finals in the face while Andee was born and juggling clinicals and managing apartments. Luckily my mom was able to come and help the night Andee was born and Shae's mom came a few weeks later. It may not look like it, but I was pretty stressed out here.

Santa brought me the best gift that any person could get - a beautiful little girl.
