BABY OLIVIA!

And here she is...A beautiful, healthy, 8 pound 7 oz. baby girl! (Do I really have 4 kids? It almost doesn't seem real!) Tyler has been adorable with his new sister. His first grab was really rough because I don't think he had any idea she was a real baby. After she let out a yell and squirmed around, he went back in to touch her softly on the head. He has been so careful ever since and wants to hold her again and again and again.
These two also love her a ton. It is so sweet to see how interested and involved Josh and Maddie want to be.

I have a feeling Olivia is going to love her brothers and sister too!
3 of my good friends dropped in to say hi today. Love you guys!

Yeah! Grandma Netty and Grandpa Geoff flew in to be with us for a week. It was perfect timing.

I am just SO HAPPY she is finally here. Everything with the birth went so well. I will share some details later. The whole experience was quite unlike any of the other births. She really took us by surprise when she decided it was time to be born.

We love you Olivia! (middle name to be decided tomorrow.)

I feel extremely blessed for my family; especially to be married to my wonderful husband. Dave helped me through each step of the way. (It wasn't easy!)

Now I am crossing my fingers that I have what it takes to care for 4 kids! I love you all. September 3rd was a beautiful day!
