Week 1 with Evan

This is Chad holding Evan for the first time. He is a proud big brother.
Chad offers to hold him and change his diaper on a regular basis. When Evan started crying the day after he was born, Chad said, "It's okay new baby, Chad is here, I will make you feel better." It seems like he grew up overnight. He is such a big helper.

We haven't gotten out of the house much since Evan arrived (except the occassional trip to the grocery store or a walk to the park with Mammie). Chad and Christopher are becoming really good friends. They play so well together. Chad is a little bossy sometimes but Christopher doesn't seem to mind.


Evan is changing so fast. It's amazing how quickly they grow up. He loves hanging out with his daddy.

Rich is a big help with the boys when I need to rest or do homework.

Me and my 3 boys! They love to sit with me and their new baby Evan.

Evan is not a morning person. He prefers to sleep all day and stay awake all night.

Chad and Christopher have been spending time with Mammie when they first wake up so me and Evan can get more rest. They are always in a good mood first thing in the morning.
We are all enjoying being a family of 5. You can pray that Rich and I are able to get enough sleep and manage our time so we can stay on top of our school work. In some ways having a third child has been a big adjustment, but most of the time it just feels normal and the transition has been mostly smooth. We'll see how things go once my mom leaves and I have to do it all by myself...

About Me

I never seem to know what to write for this. I am an MK. The beauty of Africa is stuck in my head calling me to come back. I am a wife to my husband Rich for 4 years. We have 3 boys together. Chadwick David was born on December 27, 2005, Christopher Seth was born on June 4, 2007, and Richard Evan was born on February 5, 2009. I love to read. I enjoy learning. I love to serve those in need. I prefer to be behind the scenes instead of in the limelight. I am passionate about the things I believe in. I am determined. I love being outdoors. I believe in being a good steward of this planet that God has given to us. I love being pregnant, giving birth and raising babies/kids and want a lot more of them hopefully soon (I still have to work on getting Rich to go along with this plan). I am a stay at home mom and full time student studying psychology. My kids bring me so much joy and fulfillment. There is nothing else in the world like seeing kids learn and grow over time. It is so cool to watch and I feel so privileged to have been entrusted with these little lives and hearts.
