BOJ4 has arrived!

Our 4th Bundle of Joy has arrived! Olivia Lynn Martinson was born 2:58am early Thursday morning, 8 lbs 14 oz. It was a truly beautiful birth and mama + baby are thriving ... within the chaos. :)

Emelia is TWO!

Happy Second Birthday to our little Emelia!

We can't believe you are TWO! Such a sweet personality - we love having you in our lives. You light up our days, Baby Girl! You potty trained yourself a couple weeks ago - Mama wasn't ready for this but you really wanted to do it, so in your easy-going style you just did it. You gently nudged me along and it was so easy. You delight in choosing which fun undies you will wear each morning...ah, for those simple pleasures :)

You are curious and also agreeable. You love to keep me company in the kitchen while I am cooking and even provide excellent "help" - setting the table is your specialty.

You love to hug the baby belly - wonder what you will think when that bump turns into a baby so soon...I hope you know we will love you just as we always have.

Licking the birthday frosting from the beater...smart gal that you offer so much help in the kitchen :) There are perks too...

Banana cake! You love bananas...so when deciding what theme your cake should be, we went with the obvious ;) Who doesn't love a good banana cake?!

Papa reading after the birthday dinner - got room for one more there?!

Opening a present (with some enthusiastic help of course) Grandma brought down when she came last night - magnatiles! yippee...they even stick to the fridge :)
