We all thought Sarah was coming earlier in the week... we actually went to the hospital on 1/7/2009 thinking it was the day. As it turns out, little Sarah was nice and cozy where she was. She waited until 1/10/09 to show herself!

Taylor and Lauren got to meet her this morning... there are some great pictures coming soon!

2009 is here! There wasn't a lot going on here in Charlotte this new years. With a little one due to come in the next few days, it wasn't the year to party. We did stay up and watch the NY ball drop.

Taylor and Lauren have been home for 2 weeks. Today, they had their first swimming lesson since the break and go back to school on Monday.

Stay tuned for news about Sarah... she'll be the feature soon!

We are just about ready for Christmas! The stockings are hung by the chimney with care... well, they were until Taylor pulled one down last week. Poor thing... the stocking hanger hit her right in the forehead and she has a little shiner to show Santa this week. Lauren is now officially the big girl... or at least she thinks she is. Half the time you ask her name, she will reply “big girl”. She can hold her own with Taylor... you wouldn’t know there was a 2 1/2 year age difference. Both girls are out of school, swimming and dancing lessons until the new year.

Lauren is ready for Christmas! She has found one present under the Christmas tree that is wrapped in “Tinker Bell” paper... she knows it’s hers!

Bob and Regan had a baby girl on December 15, 2008. Riley Paige was a 9-pounder... we’ll get a picture up here soon!

November 2008
Taylor was an angel in the Nutcracker over Thanksgiving weekend! She was one of (if not the) youngest cast members. She got to dance with dancers from “So you think you can dance” and the “Cincinnati Ballet”.

We hope everyone enjoys this site... Personally, I hope to do a better job of keeping it up to date. Better yet... I’m hoping to make a few improvements over the first version... including adding music and video. More to come on that front!

Jim, Kim, Taylor, Lauren and Sarah!

Sarah Grace is now a week old. Just like many newborns, she is spending a lot of time with her eyes closed! In fact, the last 4-5 nights, she has slept through most of the night (only waking once for a little midnight snack). The older girls love having her around... although they haven’t figured out how to lower the volume so the little one can sleep.

Sarah arrived this morning, 1/10/09, at 9:12 am. The new princess weighed in at 7 lbs. 12 ozs. and measured 20 inches long.

Mom and baby are doing well... after a long morning, they are both taking naps!
