The gown

This baptismal gown is so speical it has been in my grandmother's family for a very long time, my great grandmother wore this gown as did most of the babies in our family. Teresa is the first baby to wear this gown for a baptism in the Traditional Latin Rite since the change of Vatican II. It was a beautiful baptism which brought tears to my eyes, what a blessing to recieve from Our Lord.

Teresa's Baptism

Our sweet girls

SHE's here

Teresa Elizabeth arrived Wed. evening weighting 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 1/4 inches. It was a wonderful labor and delivery, I couldn't have asked for more and believe every prayer said for us was answered! She been a joy and very easy going thus far. Her big sister's are enjoying here very much!!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

We have a fabulous pumpkin patch just a few miles away from us, on saturday we took a few hours to go and check it out.
The girls LOVED it and so did we, it was a true pumpkin patch that took us on a wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch to pick out our very own pumpkins. They had the cutes animals to pet and feed and the greatest props set up to take pictures... I was delighted!!

these moments are just wonderful and remind us how blessed we are, the girls were so excited and greatful for the fun they had.

Waiting...

I am trying to wait patiently however, I (we) are all so anxious for this baby to arrive. My due date is October 11th but last weekend I was sure I wouldn't make it to this weekend yet here we are still waiting... I think not know what we are having is making us all the more anxious and excited, after know with both the girls. I think I am also just so excited for the girls as well. Hopefully we will have a baby soon.

Amazing!!!!

life

I Thessalonians 4:11&12
"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."

Happy Birthday Daddy

The girls sang daddy happy birthday perfectly, and then we all dug into this AMAZING brownie overload ice cream cake from Culver's which seem's to be a small addiction for all of us this pregancy. Any chance we get we have to go get the baby ice cream per everyone's request... Last night we made a trip to the Culver's drive through and as we were waiting in line daddy proceeded to the the girls how much he enjoyed Culver's and when they are big girls they can get a job there and he will be sure to pick them up every night when their shift is finished. What a thoughtful daddy!
