One sweet moment......

Tuesday, March 31, 2009

It's hard to explain a mother's love.... I absolutely love this little guy!

The boys have been very excited to have Parson home and are always very helpful....maybe a little too helpful if you know what I mean! His first bath at home was a family project!

Landon is so helpful when it comes to dressing Parson. He is so soft with him.

It was a late night/early Sunday morning the day Parson was born but everybody was excited to welcome him into the world! Thanks to all our family members that showed so much love and support and made it a very special event!

Ryan has always been a great father to our boys but I am always so impressed by his gentle ways.......

PARSON HAL DUNCAN HAS JOINED OUR FAMILY! Parson was born on March 1st 2009 at 3:30am. He came on his own and we were all very happy to make it to the hospital. After having so many false labor pains I didn't really think I was going into labor. Ryan finally convinced me to head to the hospital and I am so thankful we did. By the time we got to his parents I was READY! We arrived at the hospital at 12:30 and he was born 3 hrs later! The delivery was a breeze and we have been so blessed to have his sweet calm spirit in our home!

THE AFTER PARTY!!!!

We spent the week after Christmas up at the Cabin as a family and had some friends up to join us to bring in the New Year! 9 Kids and 8 Adults and what a blast! The kids had a great time.

There is nothing like spending time away as a family. Ryan took some time to teach the boys how to gather firewood, build a proper fire, dig out snowmobiles, and made some great meals all as I relaxed and read.

WHAT MORE CAN I SAY.... IT WAS AWSOME!

September's Book Review:

The Secret Life of Bees -by Sue Monk Kidd
Was a great read. I was pulled into the story of this young girl as she tries to discover who she is and her search to find somebody who will love her. I have to admit I cryed at the end. It was wonderful! I am excited to read it with the book club.

The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time
-by Mark Haddon
When I went to the library to find this book I couldn't remember what it was called and I asked for the book The peculiar happenings of the wolf in the night. It was close! I was very surprised when they were able to find the real book for me.

It was a different writing style; it was writen as if a boy with autism was writing it. I have to say I liked it. I was fascinated by the authors insite to the mind of an individual with autism. It probbably wasn't the best book for an expecting mother but it was a very quick read. I read it in two days.

Breaking Dawn -by
I won't say a ton; I am sure you have all read it but it wasn't my most favorite of her books. I thought it dragged just a little. Yes there were those interesting parts but over all I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a major page turner for me!
