Coming home from the hospital

Janie Kate has arrived!

Our sweet little Janie was born Friday, September 19 at 10:17 pm. She weighed 7 lbs, 15 oz, and has alot of dark hair! We are so grateful that she is healthy and home with us. Her big brothers love their 'litte sisty.' To Jonah she is "Janie Cake" and Eli thinks she needs ' a good ride' so he tilted her car seat back while she was sitting in it. She didn't even budge or wake up though. She is a great eater and sleeper, and seems like a pretty mellow baby.

New Jersey- The Garden State

New Jersey is growing on me. A teeny bit. It has nothing to do with the high property taxes, irresponsible spending (71 million for a new addition to the high school are ya KIDDING), no street lights , or lack of convenient shopping... I could go on... Despite all of those things and many more I can detail ad nauseum, it is absolutely beautiful here!
Noelle wanted me to take a picture of our house, so here ya go Noey.

We have a pretty little place called Sparta Glen that is a great place for the kids to run and throw rocks into the water. Great place for a Sunday walk. We might have seen bear poop too! Oh the thrills!


Yes that HUGE shadow is me taking the picture.




Ethan is a handy guy to have around! He can take a pretty good picture lately!
