INTRODUCING....

EDEN JANAE EARL
Born: August 25th
Weight: 8 lbs. 3 Oz.
Length: 21 1/2 inches
Here is our first and newest family picture as a family of five.
Both of the kids were so excited to meet their new baby sister Eden. Gordon especially was excited to hold her. He is such a great big brother. Ella was also excited, she needs a little more monitoring than Gordon does but shows just as much love.

After a C-section you typically stay in the hospital for a few days....it gets a bit boring. Here are the boys laying in bed watching a little tv. Now we girls out number them :)

Oh. Funny story. When the kids met Eden for the first time she had a present for each of them (we did this when we had Ella too and it worked out great-so we thought we would do it again). we asked Gordon weeks before what he wanted baby Eden to bring him. His reply was a green shirt. A little random. I asked him are you sure you don't want her to bring you a toy? He responded no a green shirt. Then a few days later we were talking about it again and I thought for sure that green shirt answer was not going to come up again, but it did. And every time we talked about meeting Eden he would say that she was going to bring him a green shirt. So what did she bring him ...a green shirt.... and the green shirt was a hit. He was more excited about the green shirt she gave him then the pack of Cars dominoes she also brought. And you might have noticed in other pictures, Ella got a baby doll-her own so she can feed her baby while I feed Eden. (we also got Ella a green shirt) :)
