Welcome Elizabeth Grace!

We welcome with great joy Elizabeth Grace, born September 24, 2010 at 11:31am. She is 9lbs., 21 inches. We will be calling her Ellie most likely, although we may call her Ellie Grace - we'll see. But she is a big, big girl! She is bigger than what her brothers were at birth, which may not be a bad thing since she'll have to keep up with them quickly. We are all doing great and Scott and I are still in shock we have a baby girl - in fact, I didn't believe him when he called the sex out in the delivery room! Here are pics right after the delivery. Thanks to all who have sent us emails, text messages, and have left phone messages already - we are so happy to share this joyous occasion with all of you! Much love to all! Our baby Ellie!

Still groggy from the birth.

A very happy momma with baby Ellie!

37+ weeks and counting

The final countdown is here. In this pic, I am 37 weeks as of last Friday. I am just now starting to feel tired and run down and very large! It's hard to believe that sometime over the next few weeks we'll be welcoming baby Marcille #3. It's been very exciting to wait and see if it's a boy or a girl and I am busy with all sorts of cleaning and organizing activities for the new baby.

First Day of Preschool

Ahhh... finally, preschool started for the boys last week! 16 weeks is one long summer. Can you see the grin on my face as I write this? Scott and I escorted the boys to their classrooms. Jay adjusted immediately, Andrew shed a few tears but recovered quickly. Both are enjoying their classrooms and I am enjoying these precious few hours I have to myself before baby #3!

Ticket Blaster!

You've seen it in the commercials... now here is video experience of the Chuck E. Cheese ticket blaster. The goggles are great! Go Jay!!!

Jump Jay!

After Jay opened his presents at home, this lucky little guy was whisked away to another birthday pool party. Scott sent me this video from his iPhone. Party, party.

Happy Birthday to Jay!

Chuck E. Cheese!!! Happy 4th Birthday Jay!!!

Happy 4th Birthday to Jay!!! Today is his official birthday and we celebrated this morning at Chuck E. Cheese. 10 kiddos w/parents joined in on the fun, and I must say, the House of the Rat did not fail to impress. Everyone seemed to enjoy playing the various arcade games and the kids didn't care at all about dining on pizza and cookie cake at 10:30am. All in all, it was a great birthday for Jay!!!! Here are some pics of our growing guy! Happy 4th Birthday Jay! Before we embarked to Chuck E. Cheese.

So big.. so fast.
