We would like to introduce...

Miss Grace Olivia Lee!

She arrived at 6:43 pm, Monday, September 21, 2009 at the Fairchild Medical Center in Yreka, California. She is our "tiny" baby, weighing in at only 8 lbs 13.2 oz and was just 20 inches long!

As you can see, she has chubby chubby cheeks, just like big brother Joshua had when he was born! We think that most of her weight is in her cheeks!

She has quite a bit of dark brown hair...quite different from her blonde big brothers!

Mommy & Grace - like my collection of bracelets...mine, Graces, latex allergy and lab work...drove me crazy!!

Daddy & Grace...Brian even got to wear a bracelet...told him that was good proof for his teachers of why he missed classes Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday! (not all of them, just some of them!)


Big brothers, Joshua & Nathaniel, were very happy to finally have Grace here and home!

Nathaniel is less than happy when she cries...he hates it. Yesterday, I caught him heading out the front door as she was crying saying, "I gotta get out of here!"

He also encourages everyone to put their hands on their ears when she starts!

Just relaxing at home...

Our three kids...

So excited to leave the hospital! Actually, she was less than thrilled with the car seat :)

Nathaniel's Birthday Sweater...

The boys always get new hand-knit sweaters from their Great-Grandma Darlene for birthdays and Christmas...not only do they love their sweaters, but they get so many compliments! With Nathaniel's birthday being at the end of August, he doesn't usually get to wear his new sweaters for awhile...however, last Sunday (the 6th) it was pretty cool in the morning, so he got to wear one of his new sweaters and boy, did he look cute!

Joshua wore one of his sweaters from last Christmas, but took so long getting his shoes on that he didn't get a picture taken...but he was very handsome as well!

No baby yet...technically we're late...the due date was the 13th...but I'll consider us really late if she's not here by the 17th...which was the first due date we were given. The doctor expects me to have her sometime this week. If for some reason she doesn't arrive by Monday morning, we'll go to the hospital at 730 am to be induced. I don't think I look that big when I look down at my stomach...but when Brian took a few pictures the other day (the first we've taken this pregnancy) at just over 39 weeks, yeah, I'm huge! I think I'm having another 9 pound baby!
