Christmas Pics

Well, i thought i would try my hand at doing the kids' pics for christmas. These are a few of what I did. I've discovered if you don't get a good pic in the first 5-10 minutes, it ain't gonna happen! They did'nt do to bad, though. I took TOO many of Eddie.I love the black and white one. We've decided he might actually be a red head after all! He is such a good baby. We are so blessed.

Last weekend, we had the opportunity to go to New York. We realized that we would pass pretty close to Niagra Falls, so we decided to stop there. It was wet and rainy and cold, but we bundled up and saw it anyway. The falls were beautiful, but I did'nt like the rails. I felt like I was going to fall over the edge. The girls were really fascinated by it. Emma said we went and saw the "waves":-)

Emma took this pic, hence the blurriness. But she loves taking pics!

Ever hear of "Where's Waldo"? Well this pic is "Where's Eddie?"

Baby Eddie's First Bath

Well, believe it or not, daddy gave baby Eddie his first bath.

As you can see, he was'nt very thrilled with the whole idea(Eddie, that is, not daddy...then again he did'nt look too thrilled, either!) Eddie has been growing like a weed. When he left the hospital, he weighed 6lbs. 12oz.Two weeks later, he was up to 8lbs. 12oz.! That's a pound a week! He has a double chin and chipmonk cheeks;-) He is such a good baby. Mommy loves him so much!

Paul Edwin Robbins IV (Baby Eddie!)

Here he is! The long awaited, illustrious, Paul Edwin Robbins IV! He arrived at 12:42 am on October 18. He weighed in at 7lbs. 5.2oz., and was 20 and a half inches long.

This is the first time I saw him. It was about 2:00 in the morning. I ended up having an emergency c-section due to a severe placental abruption, and also placental previa. A lot of prayer went up for us, and I am so thankful the Lord saw fit to let us live.

Papa is as proud as can be:-) He has already changed more diapers than he did with Shalynne. He is holding him every chance he gets.

Why play baby-dolls when there's real live kittens?!
Emma must not be a good driver...kitty looks ready to abandon ship..I mean bike:-)
mommy-ing the kitty!

So tired... and cute! We were getting ready to go to Highlander Point for their last service of youth camp, and Emma fell asleep while I was doing her hair...standing up!
