It's been a long time...Hi! I thought I would post a few pics of our newest addition, Grant. He was 4 weeks yesterday. It sure goes by a lot faster when they are out rather than in. He is a great little guy and we are all so happy happy happy that he is part of our family. And I am soooooo tired! We have had some interesting times with the girls. The other night Lucy and Carmen painted their hair with nail polish...whoops. Eden has finally stopped wetting herself willfully after a successful bribe with a small toy kitchen. The kids have started watching large amounts of TV after a long break..oh well. And we are all stocking up on our trans fats by having "emergency dinners" at McDonald's (not so yummy but fast.) Yes yes, it's all part of the plan :)

CONGRATS!! He is absolutely adorable!! I just love the picture of all 3 girls and Grant on the couch. Cute! We'll just have to rely on you to tell us what it's like to have a boy, since we only make girls. Sending our love to you all!!

-We had so much fun seeing Matthew and Carlos at Marky's wedding. I wish we could have seen all of you.

Such precious pictures all the way through! The ones with your dad and Sarah are so sweet, and then I was getting a kick out of Eden. The series shot on your bed where you can see the next person in line to hold Grant. Carmen is all smiley and waiting for her turn, and Eden then is most decidedly NOT happy to have to wait. And then with all 4 kids on the couch, Eden is SUPER excited to be holding him, and then shuns the family when it's Lucy's turn. Funny, funny!

Oh - and the girls dresses are adorable!! And all your children are beautiful. And Grant is so good looking!! What a darling.

I can't get over the fact that you have more kids than I do. Enjoy the happy meals - they live up to their name.

Hi Katie!
I tried calling you a little while ago but your number was no longer in service. I just talked to Shannie the other day (the first time in FOREVER) and she gave me your new info. I promise I'll call soon. I've started to hate talking on the phone because Lily makes it very unfun--she is so noisy and so demanding. It's crazy having four kids--just keeping it real. :) But I know you can do it. I love your family so much and missed seeing you guys this last summer. I really hope you'll be able to come back this summer. I'd love to make it a yearly tradition. I have so much to catch you up on. We had a crazy summer. I can't believe you finally have a little boy--you finally have a GRANT! Congratualations. He is soooooooo adorable. I still am not baby hungry and I'm not sure if I ever will be again. I think we're calling it quits at four. Sometimes I see adoption in my future--we'll see. This turned out to be an awfully long message. My love and huge hugs and kisses to you and the kiddos. Love you! Tara
By the way, I finally started a blog! 6gilberts@blogspot.com Check it out!
