She is here!

Elise Corinne Vos was born at 10:19pm January 2nd.  She was 7 lbs 10 ounces and 20 inches long.  Jordan's fever broke at 3:00am on Sunday morning and never came back!  We tucked the kids in bed at 8:00pm and like clockwork contractions began. Things again went very quickly for me, but all is well even though the hospital staff was not quite ready for her!  (Jordan and I have joked that we don't think we should have to pay full price since we practically delivered her ourselves!) We will have to stay in the hospital until tomorrow night because I was GSB positive but didn't have enough time to get antibiotics.  They don't suspect any problems but want to monitor her for close to 48 hours . 
The kids have been up to visit her.  The boys could have held her forever.  Audrey thought she was pretty neat, but just as neat as the Sprite she got to drink from a Styrofoam coffee cup!

A Very Late Posting of 1st Day of Enrichment Class!

 Yep, enrichment classes started over a month ago and I am just now posting the "First Day of Class" photos.  This year we cut back to just one day.  It is lovely.  Jonah and Audrey are both taking art and science.  Jonah is also taking drama.  I am really curious to see how he does with that because he has been really excited about it.  The back packs are completely unnecessary, but a must for the back to class picture!     Getting Ready to head out!   Miss Poser as she gets ready to go inside!    Way too cool for this   Me too Mom!

A little extra help

I had heard that age 8 was when a mom feels like a child can really help out around the house.  I must have an exceptional child because Jonah has become very helpful at 7 1/2!  :)    I kept asking him to load the washing machine, and then one day I heard it running!  He took it upon himself to start the machine as well.  A couple of quick lessons and he was good to go.  We are working on load size.  At first two shirts constituted a load.  Then after explaining water waste he tried washing every piece of cloth in the house at once.  It was amazing to me how helpful the extra pair of hands has been the last couple weeks.  I am loving that this is still an exciting new chore that he is eager to help with!     I taught him how to make scrambled eggs, and Jonah now thinks he is the scrambled egg master. He would making them twice a day if I would let him.  Egg consumption in our home was high, a...
