Welcome home Jethro!!!

This past week we have welcomed our newest addition Jethro Earl Richard Rolland. He came into the world on August 2nd via c-section at 3:11PM weighing 7lbs 11oz. Apart from me worrying that he is not getting enough food unless I give him a bottle every now and then he is doing amazing. He has been an awesome addition to the family and we all adore him.

James is always wanting to hold his little brother. However he did ask me today if I could put Jethro back in my tummy so he could see how he got out :) Josiah, on the other hand, seems to forget that we even have a baby until Jethro is put down somewhere were he cant be missed. Then Josiah has to be kissing him or poking him while he repeats "Baby, baby"....

Summer 2012 has been going amazing. I have been able to enjoy being a stay at home Mom and spending much needed time with my growing family. Thanks to Jesse jobs he has been able to participate in most of our family activities. These activities have included planting a deck "garden", going to the park, going on nature walks (not as many as we would have liked), and spending lots of time with family and freinds. James is even proud to show that he has grown some potatos in his very own garden.

And now we are working on tomatos. Josiah has grown in leeps and bounds over the summer and soon is going to be a big brother. The baby is going to be born by c-section on August 9th, which is in 8 days. He/she has to be born by c-section due to the fact that the baby is a footling breech and refuses to turn. The baby is already showing his/her stubborn side before he/she is born.

I forgot to mention that we are all very excited to welcome this little one into are hearts and home. In fact James is getting very impatent since he wants to play with the baby right now! :)
