We are so excited that Nash is here. He was born on Tuesday night (Aug. 23) at 11:45 pm and everything went great. I had a dr. appt that day at 4:15 pm and while I was there just casually asked the Dr. what he was doing that night and if he would induce me - he said yes and called the hospital to make the arrangements. I went home to feed Jordan and Kate, to make arrangements of where they were going to go that night (THANK YOU SO MUCH TAMI) and to get Ryan and my bags. I was so excited and very nervous all at the same time. We got checked in and the Dr. came in at 6:45 pm and broke my water. That was all it took to get my contractions going - they were starting to get stronger and closer together within a half an hour. But then they somewhat tapered off. But by 9:30 pm I was ready for my epidural and by 10:30 pm I started to feel the urge to push. They called the Dr. (he was at home - good thing he lives close to the hospital) and he was there by 11:10 pm and Nash was here by 11:45 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long - by far my biggest and longest kid!!! He has lots of blonde hair. He is a great baby and Jordan and Kate love him so much. They constantly want to hold him, kiss him, and help in any way they can. What a lucky boy Nash is. I still can't believe I have 3 kids, but I feel so blessed to be their mom. I absolutely love seeing Ryan with Nash - there is something so amazing seeing your husband holding his sweet little baby. He is an amazing dad. We love you Nash.

KINDERGARTEN!!!!
I can't believe Jordan is in kindergarten - and he LOVES it. He loves learning, making new friends, and doing new things. He didn't have a hard time his first day, he just gave me a kiss and said "Bye mom. See you later." I had a much harder time. I love this sweet boy and am so happy that he loves going to school.
