Colts Cheerleading

The Colts football season officially started Saturday. Rachel is very excited to get to cheer her team on again this season. Here she is with one of the newest Colt fans.

It was very sunny and hot for the game, but it was nothing a snow cone could not fix after the game.

Teamwork

While I was loading the dishwasher Rachel and Luke were keeping Wade quiet. Rachel was holding Wade and Luke was holding the pacifier while they both watched TV.

Where Does the Time Go??

Wade turned one month old yesterday!! He is growing so fast. He LOVES to eat and lets you know the minute he gets a little hungry. He already weighs 9 pounds 5 ounces! His hair line is starting to recede. He is sleeping much better at night and staying awake more during the day. Rachel, Luke, and Kate love to hold him and try to keep him happy. Luke is especially attentive which really surprises me. Wade couldn't find five people who love him more. He is the perfect addition to our family and we can hardly remember what life was like before he arrived.

The big kids like giving Wade his pacifier.
Wade is already starting to smile at us.

Sweet Pictures of Baby Wade

While everybody else went to church on Sunday I played with my camera. Wade only participated until he woke up. I got some sweet pictures of our baby boy. It is hard to believe he will be as big as his Daddy one of these days.

Here is a picture of his hairy back. We can't get over how furry he is.

His hair has not faded any yet.

First Day of School!!

I am very excited to announce today is the first day of school!!! Today Rachel starts the Fourth Grade and Luke starts First Grade!!

Two down two to go. In five short years all of my kids will be in school!!

Wade's Funny Faces

Wade is two weeks old today! Time is already flying by. I tried to get some good pictures of our two week old boy, but he just gave me a bunch of silly faces which I thought were pretty funny.

We went for his two week check up and he is already weighing in at 8 pounds 1/2 an ounce. Just for comparison, Rachel, Luke and Kate were all at 8 pounds at two weeks too. He is sleeping much better at night. We get one 4 1/2 hour stretch followed by a 3 hour stretch. That is much easier on Mama and just in time for school to start on Monday! Wade is also smiling a lot. I know he is too young to really smile, but he still smiles a lot. I guess he has a lot of gas.

Pictures From This Weekend

Granny came to meet Mister Wade this weekend. We were all excited for her visit.

Rachel, Luke, Kate, and Granny played school and office most of the afternoon. Everybody seemed to have a great time.

Wade slept thru all the playing.

We tried to get a family picture that included our newest member of the family. Granny did manage to get a good one even with a lack of cooperation from Kate.

Granny with the grandbabies.

My four babies...again with Kate not cooperating.
This is Wade today. He is already growing and filling out. I would like for him to stay small, but our babies grow fast.
Doesn't he look long?
