First shots, Friends, and Feeding Ducks!

 On Monday we had fun hanging out with Ayrton and Zaydee! And I not only survived but had so much fun watching all 5 kiddos! My favorite part was pitching to Luke and Ayrton...Luke hit the ball a lot and far...From the driveway to the swing set, twice! 

 We are now the proud owners of a double stroller! Our neighbors (who are the best!) gave us their Sit and Stand and it works perfect for what we need. 

 I love that I can take all 3 kiddos out by myself now...Freedom!

 Luke is a pro on his 2-wheeler!! He can zip all around with confidence. :) 

Ellie wanted to hop out and hang with Luke for awhile.

On Friday night, we had a family night of ice cream sundaes and then off for a walk on Oakland University's campus to gear up for Ben's graduation in May! We are so proud of him for completing his Ed. Specialist degree!!! I am bummed we didn't get any pics because the night was so fun. We rode around for about 2 hours and Luke didn't get tired or complain once about riding his bike even on the hilly campus! Up and down and all around he went.

Uncle B and Aunt Mol came in for the weekend! It started with 2 guys who grew their friendship at WMU and now their is a total of 9 of us! We had fun feeding the ducks, playing at the park, going on a bike ride, eating Ben's specialty tacos, playing basketball downstairs, and watching State land a spot in the Sweet 16!

 Happy St. Patty's Day! Again, bummed I didn't get a pic of all 3 of our Leprechauns ( I guess a sign of a busy mama :) ) They were so cute and green from top to bottom. Lucky, our Leprechaun, came during the night and left us a scavenger hunt to find our treasure! After clues around the house we found gold coins and St.Patty Day's beads under the kids' beds! 

Drew, with his green, had to celebrate the day with his 2 month appointment and shots. He was a trooper though.

Snuggled in the waiting room...

 Drew's Stats:

A littler dude so far but just perfect!

 Height: 22 3/4 inches (25-50%)

Weight: 11 lbs. 12 oz. (25-50%)

Head Circumference: 15 3/4 (75-90%)

 Giving such big smiles before his shots.

 Drew is starting to take some naps without needing his swaddle!

 The boys hanging out while sweet Ellie is taking her nap.

Still not so happy about tummy time...

 But such a smiley guy about being 2 months old now!!!!!!!!!

Smiles all around now!!!

It is so unbelievable that Drew's 2nd month is right around the corner! The day we saw this precious face for the first time seems like just yesterday and eons away at the same time. Drew is just the perfect addition to our family...He is a miracle and we love him. 

The Brang Family came to visit us and meet Drew for the first time! 

These sweet, little faces. I could eat them up. Laney and Carson were so gentle with Drew and Carson put him right to sleep! The Brang's I tell you...love them!

Oh, these 2 at lunch...

Loving on Daddy...

Playing with Drew...

We've got a storyteller on one side and on the other, some kind of chain building going on.

Poor guy...He's the little monkey in the middle.

Now a giraffe for good measure.

And all together now!

Now look, the older ones have split and Drew is left looking like this. I guess you just have to get used to it little man.

Drew getting acquainted with his crib and bedroom. The switch will be soon (but not too soon...I want to soak up every last minute of this stage!).

All 3 of our kids LOVED chilling on this changing table. This is when the smiling and cooing would really come through and the same goes with Drew...

Speaking of smiling...This little guy has the sweetest smile in the whole world. Melts my heart every time.

Seriously.

Drew is trying to throw out the party on sign :)

Da Boys!

We had a great time celebrating Grandma Uitti's birthday!!! We were all able to meet up in Pinckney to celebrate!

After yummy pasties (from the UP!) and ice cream cake, we captured the night with a family pic...

Luke loving on his Grandma while the furniture was being moved, lighting checked, and the camera  set. :)

Getting ready...

Smile :) What a family!

One of Ben's friends gave us these handmade bibs...Hilarious!

Just a little hint of Spring in the air and the Morin's broke out of hibernation to breathe in the fresh air! This winter has been COLD!

Try to find Drew in this pic...

It's his first walk to the park. :)

Elle loves being a big sister!

Our Jacque came to visit and meet Drew for the first time!!! The bond these 2 have with her...It makes a mama's heart so happy.

There is an intense hair cut happening at the Morin House Salon.

Drew fell in love the moment he met her.

Look at this smile.

Elle's princess crown...Jacque knows her all too well. :)

And Jacque's "so-so" spaceship for Luke. ;) Luke wanted to go in and get his spaceship book to show J how it should look. Oh, Luke.

Lisa came over too and brought her sweet girl Gianna! Mama Elle got right to work making she was all set.

Ben and I couldn't be more grateful.

Elle says she loves you!
