Welcome addition...

It's been a while since I've had an opportunity to post, and since I've been the one snapping most of the photos (well, doing my best given Selah is already suffering from 4th child syndrome in the photo department) I thought I would put them up... so here goes!

For those who are wondering... her name - Selah Kathryn - is pronounced (say-luh). It is found throughout the Psalms and can be translated "pause and reflect". We are so grateful to God for the wonderful ways He continues to shower his blessing upon us... causing us to pause and reflect - then expressing our gratitude for his grace and mercy!



Here's the entire crew with Selah for the first time... as you can see, Abby hasn't quite warmed up to the idea yet - that has changed as you'll see in a bit...



Nathan on the other hand absolutely loves his baby sister...

Silas has been a great help!
Here's grandma Aichele - we are thankful that she was able to help take care of the other three...


As I said - Nathan LOVES his baby sister!

Here's Abby beginning to warm up to the idea...





And yes, Nater again!
Sheila's already pulling out the baby-bling... one day Selah will look back at these pics and say, mama -what were you thinkin'?



And tonight - well, her first bath at the house... as much as it looks like she didn't enjoy the bath, her vocal concerns were short lived.


Stay tuned... more will follow.

Nathan's Big Day!

Well, today we officially have entered the stage with two toddlers - WOW! I can't believe how fast they grow up. Here's Nathan on his second birthday - who says the age restrictions apply?

A phone call...

Here's Nathan talking with Grandpa Shippy...




And not to leave two of the others out...
