Now a family of 5

Graham William Crowe arrived on Wednesday, November 11th at 2:11 pm. He weighed 7 lbs, 3 ozs and was 20 inches long. Megan had a scheduled induction and labor started at 10:30am, at 1:50pm she started pushing and baby came 21 minutes later! Isaiah and Dr. Schad are always good for a few laughs and helped Baby Graham arrive in this world by counting in German and Spanish while Megan was pushing. They joke that Megan has such easy pregnancies, labors, and deliveries that she should put "Professional child birther" on her resume.

So far Graham is an amazing baby! He's only woken up twice in the last four nights (pretty much at the same times), is very very calm unless he's getting his diaper changed, eats like a horse, is a great burper, and just likes to go with the flow. We're hoping it continues!

The girls think he's the best thing since sliced bread, they just dote on him all day. Felicity can be heard saying "Baby Graham is so cute" or "I love my baby brother" every few minutes and Lydia just wants to kiss him and hug him (with that Lydia roughness). Looks-wise he is taking after Lydia so far, should be interesting to see if that changes.

Hooray for Vacations!

What a GREAT trip with the whole family to Walt Disney World!  All three kids were excellent and everyone had a wonderful time.  Since it was mid-August it was HOT and very humid but we endured (with the help of some ice cream and the pool of course).

We stayed at the Beach Club Villas this year and they were really nice.  The best part about staying at Beach Club is that their pool has a sand bottom and little jets and geysers all over.  Plus their kiddie pool is so nice for the kids...only 2 and a half feet deep and a really nice "beach" with buckets and shovels for the kids to use.  

Waiting for lunch at Rainforest Cafe...


Nose bumps with Tigger, Lydia was too shy to meet him...

Eeyore...

The girls FAVORITE thing!  Magic Kingdom's night parade, Spectromagic!  Felicity just loved it and Lydia was pretty excited too!  We were lucky enough to see it twice.

Mmmm, nothing better then a Choc. Mickey Mouse Krispie...

Summer

We've been spending so much time working on our new house this summer that we haven't been taking many pictures of the kids.  Oops!
