New big brothers...

Hunter and Grant are loving baby Ella. They are really sweet to hold her and give her loves...

James loves his baby too, but he is also trying to figure out his place with a new baby around.

Welcome Baby Girl...

This little angel made a speedy entrance into the world on Friday morning.
She weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces. She had tons of beautiful black hair.
We are so happy to welcome her into our Family.

Sweet Dreams...

I'm hoping Baby Ella will have many sweet dreams in this...

Matt helped me put up the crib Monday night so I could finish making the bedding.

My Grandpa Phillips made this crib for me when Hunter was born. I showed him a picture of the crib I wanted in the Pottery Barn catalog and he recreated it beautifully. It brought a few tears when I saw it again thinking of my sweet Grandpa, how talented he was and how much he loved the little babies. How I miss him. I'm looking forward to seeing my baby sleeping sweetly in this crib.

Treadmill Attack...

Sunday afternoon Hunter was attacked by the Treadmill at my mom's house.
He and Grant were curious as always and wanted to see how the treadmill worked. They got the tread going way too fast and Hunter fell and got stuck between the tread moving and the wall. The tread burned these sores on his side. The sore on the top is a 2nd degree burn and the bottom sore is a 3rd degree burn. We ended up in the ER Sunday night receiving treatment for these sores. They had never seen an abrasive burn quite that severe. We were told to keep it clean and wrapped for the next 2 maybe 3 months. What a bummer right before school starts. But, our bodies are amazing. Hunter will have a big scar, but It will heal and that is a blessing.
