7 lbs. 11 ozs.

19 inches long

I can't get enough of him! We are so grateful for his safe arrival and the help we had from both grandmas these past two weeks. Kade and Cole have been the best helpers.

After 3 days, we finally gave him his name!

Our little teddy bear!

Tomorrow is the DAY!

No turning back now! I don't know why I am so nervous this time around. We are ready for him though. Tomorrow, around 5:30 p.m., we will be a family of 5!!

This is for you Gramma Purser!

We know both you and Grampa would have been there if the play would have been on Friday!! We love and miss you!

The Wizard of OZ

Kade did an awesome job! He had two parts and a solo as the Wizard. He didn't seem nervous at all. I asked him why he didn't smile very much. He reminded me that the Wizard is a "humbug" and never smiles. Their class was the only 1st Grade class to do a play. I am so grateful Kade had Mrs. Jarman who was SO willing to work with these little 1st Graders and build up their confidence. I know Kade will never forget it. I still remember my 1st Grade play.

Great job Kade!!

Golfing Buddies

2 buckets of balls and with a little help from Mark...

my boys will someday be pros!

The EQUINOX

I got THREE! You should try it...

I should have done more, but that is all I had. Good thing it is grocery day tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder Mom, even if it was 10 o'clock at night! I hope they stay up all night so the boys can see them. YAY ME!

A New Talent

Today was Kade's first time snowboarding. He did awesome! His instructor taught them well enough to quickly try getting on the lift and going down the hill. It was fun to see how much he enjoyed every second. Kade went up the lift four times and really got the hang of snowboarding down the hill. By the end, he didn't want to leave. Next time, he wants to try getting on and off the lift by himself. I hope his body is not sore tomorrow!

Getting ready to go!

On the lift with his instructor (that is as close as I could get the pic)

Going down...

I think he's got it!

Kade and Tyson

Cole has to wait until he is 6. He said he is ready now!

Kade's 1st Try

A "High Five" from his instructor!

They gave him a progress report at the end.

Kade passed as a first time rider!

Purser Baby #3 is a BOY!

Here is the proof...

The little man will fit right in! I was awake half the night very anxious to find out. Mark thought for sure it was a girl. I didn't want to keep my hopes up, but thought I should have a girl because I really wanted one. Kade and Cole are both excited to be BIG brothers to their little brother. The more I think about him, the more attached I feel!

Fortune cookies don't work for me! HaHa
