Bigs

The big kids doing their late October thing.  Mostly outings with Dad, though Mom did engineer the animals-as-requested Halloween costumes :)

Family of Six

Thompson's first ride (so small!) and arrival home - the sunshine and fresh air were a bit overwhelming for him :)

 Lots of happy hearts and eager arms awaited him!

 Ezra's face captures his reaction to a new little one in the house.  All of a sudden he's one of the big kids!  But doing surprisingly well as a big brother.

Less than a week after he was born, we made it out the door to our first family outing, the wedding of a good friend.  Excitement running high for our family of six!

Thompson James Sheerin

He's here!  Born the morning of Oct 12th, weighing 8 lbs, 2 ozs.  Full head of curly dark hair and prefect in every way!  We are beyond thrilled.  Thompson for his maternal great-grandmother's family, and James for his paternal grandfather.

 

 

And now for the glamour newborn shots.

Ezra's birthday party

We celebrated Ezra's second birthday a week early, as Mark's parents were in for a visit from Texas.  And with baby boy's unknown arrival date, made sense to make sure we squeezed in a celebration :)  All the kiddos were thrilled to have all four of their grandparents at a party, so it was a festive day!

Our sweet birthday boy.
