Baby Luke is here!

Okay, so I know I haven't updated my blog in FOREVER, but we do have some big news to share, so I thought it was about time.

On Monday, March 30th, we had a new little boy join our family...Lukas Randall was 9 lbs. 8 oz. and 20 inches! So, actually we had a big boy join our family! I had a c-section this time which has been a really slow recovery for me, but I'm finally feeling a little closer to normal. We just love having Luke...he's so sweet and snuggly!



Haley and Colton love having a baby brother. Haley was in love from the beginning, but it took Colton a few days to really want anything to do with me or Luke. I think he was just extra tired from all the fun he was having at Nana and Poppie's house. Now, Colton really likes talking to Luke and trying to make him happy . Haley loves to hold him, help feed him, and sing to him.











We feel so blessed to have this sweet little baby. We're just trying to enjoy the time with him because now we know how quickly he'll grow up. We want to savor his babyhood...it's gonna fly by!

Wow! Congrats to you guys! I can't believe how big Haley is!! If you are anything like me, 3 kids was a big adjustment. It took me quite a while to feel like I had a normal routine and feel like a normal person. Your family is beautiful! I'm so glad that we can get re-acquainted again. Tell Paul hi for us!
