Where did my newborn go?

Ian is advancing way too quickly. He is such a sweetie and still likes to snuggle, so we are okay. He had his 8wk. appointment and is now 22 1/2 inches long and now over 12 1/2 lbs. Matthew is enjoying him even more now that Stephen is in school.

Bubble Beards

I knew time was flying by and my little boys were growing older, but I didn't realize how fast. Stephen and Matthew love bubbles and had filled their outside wading pool full and dipped their faces in to create this one of a kind look.

Special Visitors

Grandpa & Grandma Coston came for a visit and brought cousin Marky with them. We had such a great time playing water balloon baseball, making Ian smile, putting Dad to work, and swimming at the "Y". Mom and Dad helped so much in our current crazy life. All of us were so excited they could come down for the weekend!
Love you Mom and Dad, and Marky too!!!

Sweet boy

WATER FUN AT THE Y

Ian loves to be held and snuggles in so sweetly.

Stephen's First Day of Kindergarten

Stephen was so excited to go to school. He is doing great! When I asked him what his favorite part of school was, he answered "recess". He loved his teacher, Mrs. Candler, right away. She won his heart with her fire bulletin board and her sweetness. What a blessing to have him come home from school enthusiastically quoting Bible verses and telling the creation story. He is doing very well in math and is really excited about science. He loves mazes and is even enjoying coloring. In two weeks he will be starting Spanish! Dave has really wanted our whole family to learn Spanish, so we will all learn what Stephen will be learning.

Grandparents are the Greatest!

Uncle Micah and Aunt Katie stop in for a quick visit. On the way home from church, Stephen picked out a nice home for them to live in, so they could come over all the time. All our boys just love them. They were such a big help to me too!

The Lost Teeth

Stephen's big day-- He lost two teeth in one day. We were trying to get him to put them under his pillow, but I think his idea of the tooth fairy was more like a tooth monster. He said he was going to bury his teeth in the sand box so the tooth fairy couldn't find them.

Enjoying an afternoon nap & photo shoot

We are completely enjoying our little sweetie. The latest update is that he rolled over on a flat surface at 13 days old! His first extraordinary act!

First Sunday at church

All this attention makes me sleepy

Baby Ian Is Here!!!



Ian Michael was born just after 1 am. He is a whopping 9lbs 8oz and 21 1/2in long. Mommy and baby are doing very well. I hope everyone likes this picture better than the other one.

Matthew and Stephen love having a brother. They have been very helpful already.

Stephen and Matthew like holding Ian. Matthew will walk over and hold his hands up and say "Hold it, Hold it."
