Tuesday was a very exciting day.  Driel had her baby!  I was able to arrive at the hospital just a few minutes after the birth and experience the miraculous moments of a brand new baby!  What an honor to spend a few minutes with Driel and Evan and their new baby, Fiona.  The birth of a new baby is a beautiful joyous miracle.  Later, we took the kids to visit their newest cousin!  Grandma Diether and Breezy were also at the hospital.  We are a loud big group…so we tried to keep the visit short…and can’t wait to visit again.

After the visit, Kimball, Calvin, and Logan made the first tracks in the hospital snow!  When they got in the car, one of the boys (I think Kimball) said “We were walking on the moon.”  A new cousin and making prints on the moon was definately FUN!

Saturday we set up the crib!  I cleaned it, Ammon put it together, and Sterling supervised!  He loved being the man in charge.  I thought having a bigger bed would be good for him, since he is both a chunk and a rolling machine.  In the end, we have had little sleep this week and a very tired clingy baby…but maybe tonight is the night he will sleep!!!  Keep dreaming

One thing our tired little boy loves is the big bath tub.  An inch or two of warm water and the bottle of baby soap and he is a very happy boy!

Look out advertising world, Sterling is about to take over!

Yesterday was a big day in history…but my personal favorite part of history is my family, and Sterling made history!  He is 6 months old, busy, and BIG!  He has almost mastered sitting and is ready to join the big kids in playing and eating   What a cute happy baby.

Check out his adorable smile!

Sterling slept through the night…and so did Bridget…and that means (Mom, me, Kathy) I got a full nights sleep!  Amazing!

Here’s to hoping for two nights in a row   I’m trying to be optimistic and positive…it is bound to bring about the best results!

We have had two very fun sledding days, on Bridgets birthday and again on New Year’s day!

Originally, the boys were confused why we would go sledding…since we had our own snow slides…but they discovered the beauty of a long snow covered hill.  It was really fun to be with lots of family.  Bridget wanted to ride on the pizza sled (triangle shaped tube).  Kimball and Calvin had a good time wrestling with Uncle Evan in the snow.  I took Sterling down one time.  Logan was quite the wild little sledder.  Kimball, Logan, and Richard all went down together, very fast.  Here are a few pics!

Bridget turned 3!  Last Monday (Dec. 29th) she had a very fun party with all the Rowbury cousins who were in town.

Here is the birthday girl in her Christmas dress from Grandma Diether.  Very Pretty!

Party time at Rowbury’s home!

Thank you Grandma Rowbury for the fun snowman cake!
