Happy Birthday, Hudson!

Hudson turned 6 years old on December 4! I really didn't want Evan to be born on his b'day but I don't think he would have cared. We had his party planned for the Saturday after Thanksgiving but he got sick so we had to cancel it. There was no time to reschedule but he didn't mind. He was excited that his baby sister was coming home on his b'day and as long as he got to go to Chuck E. Cheese, he was fine. Richard's mom took him Friday when he got out of school. My mom took cupcakes to his class at school on his birthday. Happy Birthday, Hudson! We love you! Thanks for being such a sweet boy and loving your family so much!

He lost his 2 front top teeth earlier this month. So Cute!

Thank you Caroline for announcing Evan's arrival! Evan is one week old today and we love her so much! You can never estimate the amount of love and other great feelings that a new baby brings into a family. Her delivery was so smooth and fast! It was a great experience and I'm so glad that Richard and I were able to go through that again together. He was a great support to me and I just love his sense of humor (most of the time). He had me and everyone in the room laughing and he just made it fun. He also took great care of me! This was by far my easiest delivery and recovery! I feel so bad for women who are in labor for hours! Thank you so much to all my great family who took care of my family while we were in the hospital!

Me before going to the hospital at 3am on Tuesday, December 2, 2008. My goal was to work on the first of Dec and then be induced after that. Everything worked out perfect!



Richard with Evan just moments after her birth. She had him wrapped from the first moment he saw her! He kept joking that there was still a chance she would be a boy but he loves that baby girl!

These boys love her so much and are so helpful! They ask to feed her and hold her and they just hang out and look at her all the time! Hudson says about a hundred times a day, she's so cute! He tells me I had a pretty baby.

This is the dress I picked out for Evan. I love it! Richard actually requested that his picture be taken with her and he hates to have his picture made! He's also requested that we have some family pictures done soon! What is it about little girls?

Now a note about her name:

We had the name Evan picked out but could not come up with a middle name. Even in the delivery room, this was still being discussed and we just couldn't come up with anything. While I was delivering her, Richard's mom got a phone call that Richard's grandmother (dad's mom) passed away unexpectedly. Her name was Mary Faye but she went by Faye. So that's where the name Faye came from.
