Lucas Graduates!

On May 18th Lucas graduated from high school! Yay!

(Crazy! Wasn't he JUST the darling little ring bearer in our wedding?! Time truly flies!)

Before the ceremony we all went out to dinner together to celebrate. 

Congratulations Lukey Boy! 

We love you!

The proud parents and their Graduate!

The whole gang

 Happy Grad, Proud dad

He's excited...so cute!

Look at all those leis!

Sweet Leah

Stacy, do you remember this little outfit?

 They're just a tad interested in the goings on of their new sister...

 Mama's snuggle bug

 Snoozing on Mommy and Daddy's bed

 I can't get enough of this! He's so sweet with her!

 The boys call these her "boxers". =) 

We have to keep mittens (or socks, in a pinch) on her hands because she pulls her own hair like no other and pokes her own eyes! Poor thing...she has no idea that she is inflicting the pain on herself!

 The middles

 At Dave and Carolyn's we add a couple of fluffy blankets to their magazine basket and voila...a bassinet!

 The girl

 LOVES

 watermelon! 

Can you tell?

Having fun with their beloved Uncle Ryan. Lizzie was the bravest of all three when it came to riding on his stand up paddle board! Go girl!

Leah Danielle Moore

"Moore" blessings indeed! 

Leah Danielle Moore arrived at 11:44pm on April 18th, 2012

She weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz and was 21 inches long. 

She's perfect and we are once again in love!

That morning...after my dose of Cytotec, prior to the Pitocin. Mom and I were just hanging out playing Colorku. Notice the lovely clear liquids "meal"...the first of three that I would be served. Who eats beef broth for breakfast anyway? Not me!

Minutes after birth. When she came out she was covered in vernix...the first of my babies to have that. The nurses put her on my tummy and wiped it all off with towels. 

Daddy's first moment with his newest princess

I'm so glad the grandmas got to be there to witness her birth. Here they are getting acquainted with Leah.

  

They were beyond excited to be meeting their sister for the first time

The big brother...three times over!

"Please hold Leah?" is one of Lizzie's most frequently used phrases now. She loves being a big sister!

I love this picture!

Jonathan reading to his new sister

He is so sweet and gentle with her

Sweet girl...I love those peepers!

A visit from Grandpa

Auntie Debbee doing a marvelous job multi-tasking...such a natural!

and Daddy

It's hard to believe that that "bump" is now the precious bundle that I hold in my arms. We're so thankful she's here! Welcome to the world little Leah!
