Hazel

Here is my first try at video feed. Hopefully it works.

Hazel Perkins

Hazel was born at 4:30 PM on Wednesday January 14th 2009.
She weighed 8LB 9OZ.
She is 20 1/2 inches tall.


Third time is a charm! Finally the wait is over. She did come fast like we hoped.

She has been a great baby so far. I do need more sleep, but hopefully will get more tomorrow.

Cindy, guess Finn is now yours. Dan was willing to share and for most of the first day of her life we were still going with Finn for a girl, but the kids would go for it.

Liam turns 6

Will 6 years ago we were in England waiting for our Liam to come. He came and made our family. He has been such a blessing in our lives.

So tonight he wanted to go bowling, I thought great. (maybe lifting the big bowling ball would help baby come faster.) To find that the bowling alley has league from 5:30 to 9:30 every night. We got there at 5:45 PM. No bowling for us.

So we got the Indiana Jones movie and came home to play legos and watch the movie.

Liam seemed happy enough. I think that it was a good day for all.

Still no baby!

Well Monday has come and gone with no baby. Why my children think they need extra time in the oven is beyond me. Maybe a little of there Dad in them. (He's always late.) I only cried a few tears, but not looking forward to trying again, so I guess will wait until baby is ready.


My wonderful family sent my flowers today. I think that they were because I should have had a baby, but I just looked at as a HAPPY TUESDAY! instead. I love you all! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
(Sorry flowers are a little out of focus, I didn't look close until I was already blogging.)

Christmas come and gone

We had a wonderful Christmas at our home. The kids slept until 8:00Am so Dan went running. The snow coming down made it feel like a winter wonderland. We laid around and watched a lot of movies. (Little house on the prairie) It is weird to not be around family this year. And it sounds like Mom and Dads was kind of quite as well.
It's Boxing day today and I would love to box up my pitiful Christmas tree. I still love all the other decorations,but that tree has seen better days. (days without cats)
We hope that everyone else found the season to be MERRY!

Lights of Christmas

We finally made it to the "lights of Christmas" last night. This is a Christan camp that goes all out with lights, food and programs. It cost too much, but every year Dan gets two tickets because it is where they take the Fifth grades to science camp. It was cold, but not too cold. I didn't fall on the ice and a good time was had by all. They said the attendance is way down this year because of the snow. Speaking of snow... It's still snowing. We have been snow in for over a week now. I'm done but the kids are having to much fun.

one year older- and wiser too...

The cats turned 2 today! Liam planned the birthday cake. The cats loved it. As far a wiser I'm not sure that cats get wiser. They should run from me and stay out of my room, but this has not been learned. Daily I yell get out!!!!!! But they still come in my room. (MY ROOM = MY SPACE.) If only the kids did not love them so much, I'd ship them off to grandpa's.
