I love this pic of Ben
I made a dragon cake that turned out pretty good :)
3 days later on September 16th, our little girl was born! She came a week and a half early but was a healthy 7 lbs 11 ounces and 20 inches long. We are naming her Penny Elizabeth (after my mom and I - we both have the middle name E;izabeth)
Spencer works as hard during labor as I do- I love this man.
My mom was there the whole time and I loved her being there.
She's a great baby- by far our best eater and sleeper and just so sweet. 
Parker and Ben adore her. Parker is really cute with "our little girl" and really knows how to be gentle and sweet with her. Ben LOVES her and cries to hold her but doesn't quite know how to be gentle. Parker's adjusted really well. But I can see Ben sort of questioning where he fits in now. He's more clingy and whiney. It breaks my heart but I know we'll adjust. Both boys are growing up! Parker's first week of preschool was this week- I cried when I dropped him off- such a mom! And Ben is no longer our baby. I rocked him the other night and cried again! He has been our sweet little boy and now he's our older brother. It's emotional to me. But it's wonderful too. Penny brings such a sweet spirit to our home, these kids are sent from heaven. I feel so thankful. 
The week ended with my birthday on September 19th which was somewhat uneventful with a new baby. But Parker wrapped a bunch of his toys to give to me and Spencer took me out and that's all I need. So now we have 3 birthdays in a week in our family (not to mention my sister in laws that same week). Guess it's ALWAYS going to be a busy week for us. :)

Congrats Parker on turning four and being a big brother. Penny is adorable!! We sure miss you guys and Eliza wishes she could come play.
What a fun week!! (except for the labor part. . .)Parker is such a cute little 4yr. old. What an awesome party you two planned. Penny is just beautiful and I LOVED the pictures of her with her older brothers. I am so excited for you! Congratulations! You're amazing!
Dang! What a crazy week! Congrats on your beatiful little girl she is so precious. Your boys are as cute as ever too. The party looks wild, crazy and totally fun. I love parties like that - just mass chaos. Maybe it's cause that's what I always remember growing up with all the family gatherings.
Wow, that was a huge week...has been a huge month but good month of Sept 2010. You caught it very well. I loved the party. It was a real celebration. I was thinking today of that song..."When I grow up I want to be a mudder..." That is how you used to sing it. You have done it..."one little, two little, three little babies of my own..."
Congatulations!! So fun that you have a girl now! I didn't even know you were pregnant. That just shows you how out of touch I've been the past year. I'm so happy everything went well for you. Good luck with all the craziness of three!
I am terrible about leaving comments on blog so sorry that it has taken me so long to realize you had your baby girl. Congrats! She is a cutie and I love the name. I can't believe how big your boys are. I hope everything is going well! Tell Spencer hi.
