July 29

Today, we had a picnic in the field behind our house then went for a "nature walk," as Liam calls it.  We really just walk around the field and behind the houses, looking at the grass and trees and mole hills along the way.  I also tried (again) to get some nice pictures of the boys to put up on the wall.  It is super difficult to take decent pictures of these boys. 

Tessa came, too...

July 4 ish

This first batch of pictures is from the beginning of July- maybe the first or second. 

We love popsicles around here.

Pretty baby girl

We had a typical 4th of July day.  We went to the Stake breakfast, then to a brand new splash pad, lunch nearby, and fireworks at some friends'.

Tessa: Coming Home

We came home from the hospital on Thursday.  On Saturday, Mike, the boys, and my visiting family went to the beach, leaving Tessa and me to hang out and relax play dress up and take some cute photos.

Here are some photos that I posted on Instagram and Facebook from the day we came home and since then.

Tessa: The Hospital

Our sweet baby, Tessa, arrived on June 17, 2014, at 6:59 pm. 

She was practically perfect from the beginning, scoring 9 and 10 on the APGAR test.

At 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches in length, she is our biggest baby by almost a whole pound.  

The boys met their new baby sister the following morning.  It was love at first sight. :)

Tessa is, so far, a dream baby.  She sleeps well, eats well, puts up with the constant poking and kisses well, and we are all in love!
