introducing our two week old!

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact we have a 2 week old baby. I'm at a loss for words. Time is definitely not my friend! I've been a little quiet here on the blog. Mostly trying to enjoy these first few weeks with a newborn. Getting back into the swing of having a little one around again. And I love it. Baby and mom are doing great. We couldn't be happier and are adjusting pretty well to being a family of TEN…eek!

I'm so, so, sssooo happy Casey and I did these photos below together. If there is a possibility this could be our last, having documented it was fun. I won't say any more for fear I'll lose it ;)

I want to share more of baby's birth day, but I'm lacking in sleep and need to get to bed. Unlike Casey, I cannot stay up into the wee hours of the night... with my laptop... in bed…blogging…  IF I had a laptop, that may be a different story… I would probably blog as much as she does ;)

so for now, I'll just introduce to you… 

Will David Smith

born April 2, 2014 at 3:03 a.m.

8 lbs 10 oz - 21-1/2 inches

and no worries, there are many, manyyyy more photos to come of Will. He's a hunk. The kids are in *love* with him. And Dave and I cannot stop chewing on his cheeks… already!  We're smitten  :)

"a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014"

Peyton: new braces. oddly, he doesn't mind them.
Lia: growing old right in front of me. and her and Meg are the best of pals. I love it!
Austyn: always smiling.
Tayt: t.r.o.u.b.l.e.
Nash: he's been a handful the last couple weeks. terrible 4, going on 5?!
Drew: rarely sits still. a rare nap.
Meg: this one is giving us a run for our money. she's a wild one.

To think this is the last post I'll be doing that includes only… yes, I use the word 'only' loosely… but only 7 children blows my mind. We're very much looking forward to meeting this new little one any day now. And hoping all goes well! 

Cannot wait to add another Smith to the bunch :)
