Our Garden and Pictures

So I know everyone wants pictures of sweet children over garden pictures (which wouldn't be that impressive anyway) but I counted eleven tomatoes on our tomato plants today!!

Below are some pictures of our sweet children. We are having a wonderful time with our growing family!
Both Seth and Benjamin love giving Madeline kisses--however, I was only able to get a photo of Benjamin kissing her.

I know doctors say smiles this soon are not social but they still warm my heart!


Here are the boys ready for family prayer with Madeline before heading off to bed.



We had given away the infant car seat we used with Seth so got to buy a new one for Madeline! It was hard to find one in a pink I liked; most of the ones I saw didn't fall in my narrow range of pinks I can enjoy--we had to order this one online and it arrived only three days before Madeline did!




Another sweet smile to gladden the heart!
We are so happy to have Madeline as part of our eternal family!!

Welcoming Madeline Ava Jorgensen!

Madeline Ava Jorgensen was born last Saturday. She was 7 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. While she had to make a brief visit to the nursery for about an hour, she was able to come home on Sunday. The boys are so excited to have a little sister and love her so much already. They give her soft hugs and kisses and love to play around her. She is growing well--she was 7 lbs. 8 oz. on Thursday!

Here is Miss Madeline in a dress Aunt Marianne gave to her. She wore it to church yesterday and is an absolute doll in it!



Since we forgot the camera (and couldn't find batteries for it anyway), Justin took pictures of Madeline with his phone. Above is the first non-blurry photo--she was alert for several hours after delivery.


Here is Madeline's first picture.



The boys came to visit Saturday afternoon and immediately fell in love with Madeline.
Welcome to our family Madeline! We love you!!
