Allie's FIRST SOCCER game

Andrew had soccer this morning and Allie already made it out to the field. Andrew was so excited to take her. He couldn't wait to show her how fast he could run. He picked out her entire outfit . She of course had to wear her "jersey" which is a Michigan onesie that daddy got her. It's sized for a 6 month old, but he insisted that she wear it. She also wore her little pink Adidas shorts and he chose a purple bow for her hair. He always wears his Michigan jersey, so they looked so cute together. She thoroughly enjoyed the game and slept all the way through it.All tired out after watching big brother.

These two munchkins have been keeping themselves busy. Today after soccer they played in the backyard for some time and so beautifully colored their faces and their toys with their sidewalk chalk. It was great entertainment and tired everyone out. We had our first day of all three kiddos taking naps at the same time. They all slept from about 1:30-4:30...yeah..and daddy and mommy even got to rest a little too.

Allie at home

Luke loves to help, hold her, kiss her, and smother her. He gets so excited about her. He always says "one little nose, two little ears." He is also Allie's spokesman. He asks her questions constantly and always tells me "she said yes mommy." He teaches her to grab her toys and encourages her by saying "Go Allie, Go Allie." He is adorable with her and loves her so much.
Daddy sleeping with his little girl. She loves to be held when she is sleeping, but dad and mom are both enjoying our cuddle time with her. She is so precious.
Andrew holds her for the first time. He likes to look more than he does touch, but he has been a great big brother. He constantly says how cute she is and he gets so excited when she tries to open her eyes. Our favorite line from Andrew so far was when we got home from the hospital. I took Allie's hat off and he looked at me with a questioning look and said, "mom is this is boy?." I said "no honey this is Allie." He replied back, "but she has hair like a boy." I guess he thought she was going to come out with pigtails or something. He is doing great with his sister and loves her so much.

ALLIE MARIE....OUR LITTLE BLESSING

She is here...YEAH!!!! Allie arrived Wednesday at 12:28 in the afternoon. She is beautiful, chubby, and doing great. She is quickly adapting to life with two brothers. We love her so much and are enjoying her every second. Enjoy the picture slide show and I'm sure we will be posting lots more pictures as the days progress.

Happy Birthday Big Boy!!!!

Today's is Andrew's 4th birthday. He is becoming such a big boy. We celebrated by having his friend's party a couple weeks ago and last night we had a hot dog BBQ at grandpa and grandma's house to celebrate both Andrew and his cousin Ben's birthday. Today we had yummy donuts for breakfast and we are going to have lunch with Om a and Pake and go to one of Andrew's favorite parks. We love our little guy so much and we are so blessed by him. We love his energy and his excitement about life. He is a great KID!!! We love you Andrew.Donuts for breakfast....
Andrew loves when we sing Happy Birthday to him.
The kitchen table all decorated for the birthday boy when he woke up. I always do this for the boys on their birthdays and this year I was so worried that I would be in the hospital having the baby so Andy had strict instructions and the bag of decorations has been sitting in the closet all ready in case I wasn't here. I'm still in one piece though, so I was able to do the decorating after all.
Wearing his new helmet from grandpa and grandma and jumping on his pogo stick from uncle Paul. He loves both of these things. He jumps all over on the pogo stick inside and outside of the house.
The big 4 year olds. Andrew really wanted to dress like a soccer player for his party, so he had on his soccer jersey and shorts.
A special Lighting McQueen cake made by grandma. Luke likes to join in the celebration as well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW PAUL!!!!

Our Little Girl's BEDROOM....

Our little girl's room is all done and ready and waiting for her. We had a great time decorating it and making it extra special for her. Andrew and Luke are so excited to show it to her. It looks better in real life, so make sure you stop over to see both our little girl and her cowgirl bedroom.

We're Waiting....PATIENTLY

When will our little girl be arriving.....? We are officially at the one week before due date mark. This is about the time the boys were born, so we are hoping our little girl will follow in the same footsteps. I am actually pretty comfortable (more than I was a couple weeks ago). The list of things to do is pretty much done, the house is clean enough (I'm tired of cleaning over and over), lists are made of things that need to be done for birthdays and pre-school next week, I got my toes done (they are painted pink with white polka dots...so cute) this morning with my friend Christina, and Andy is off for three days...sounds like a great time to have a baby!!! I was dialated to 1cm yesterday at the doctor and I was 1/2 cm the week before, so this didn't mean a whole lot to me. I have had a few early signs of labor, so we might be close. Our friend Sheena thinks greasy food does the trick, so we just indulged in In & Out with a couple of our neighbors to see if that gets anything going. I was planning on taking the boys on a long walk today in the new running stroller to see if that would help, but it happens to be raining. Last week it was 100 degrees and today it rains, we just need a happy medium. I guess we just need to be patient and wait. If she doesn't come tonight we do run the risk of sharing a birthday with cousin Ben (25th) or with brother Andrew (26th). We will update the blog with any progress, so keep checking. I'm hoping the hospital has wireless.....that's not too much to ask is it?
We can't wait to meet you little girl!!!!
