Trey singing in his pre-school Valentines day program.
Sterling and I were able to go to a Valentines day dinner date that the girls in Nyssa put on for a fundraiser. They had dinner, entertainment and pictures. I heard their was dancing. I couldn't have done too much of it, but it would have been fun to have a dance or two.
Sterling and I in the hospital just waiting and passing the time. This was the first time that I really wasn't sure when to go in. Sterling called the Hospital for me and we decided to just go in and I was sure glad we did. By the time we got there I was already at dialated to a 5. I think we got to the hospital around 5:00 or so. They gave me an epidural pretty fast, but it didn't work so well on the left side of me. One leg completely dead, the other not so much. Abbie was born at 8:27 PM.
Our brand new baby, little miss Abbigail.

This is my favorite hospital picture of Abbigail all cleaned up after her first bath. They brought her all tucked in with this cute little hat.

Sucking her thumb. We saw her do this in ultrasound pictures too. Don't know if thos is good or bad.
Sunday, on our way home from the hospital. We almost went home the night before, but I wasn't feeling very well and so we stayed in the hospital until the next day.

Pouring cement under our porch so we could make the stairs going down into our basement.
Little sis sleeping. I love to watch a sleeping baby. I love the way they put their hands up. So cute!
My mom and I decided to use their nice camera and try to take some pictures of Abbigail on our own. She was four days old and though we weren't professional. I think we captured a couple cute photos.
Little Abbigail all happy and sleeping and looking all cute!
Aunt Laura holding little Abbigail at JC Penney after we went and had pictures taken. She was six days old.
I always seem to put Laura D to work when she comes to visit. I had her help me paint the last little splotches that needed painting in the kids room upstairs.
Grandpa Larsen finally made it up to visit after a late night of driving in near blizzard conditions. He had a short visit, but it was fun to have him there.
Sterling and our friend Jake did a little finishing work on our porch. They put trim around things and put up a shelf and a coat rack.
Sterling had the boys do some yard work while our friends were here. They dug up some bushes and filled in some holdes. They worked pretty hard for little kids. Well, Chase did :)
The girls are just chillin a bit. Laura, Lisa and Abbie.
Our first Sunday at home. Abbigail is one week and a couple days old. So big already!
Here are Mr. Mario and Mr. Luigi. Trey had me make him a mustache so he could be Luigi and Keegan had to have one too.

Our friend Karli came and took some pictures of us. I think she did a wonderful job! It was a bit chilly that day, but it worked out. I love the pictures, they were really fun! Abbie is 10 days old in them.
Love this picture of the brothers, they are like this all the time.
