So much to be thankful for

When I uploaded the pictures to the computer, they uploaded all out of order. I didn't want to take the time to figure out the order so I've posted them out of order. I know you want to see our newest addition first but We're going to start with the happy big sister, Bella. :)
Grandma and Grandpa Sand came as soon as I called to let them know I was in labor. They spent a few days at our house. It was wonderful because with them here Robbie was able to stay with Thomas and I in the hospital. The kids loved having them here to play with.

We put up our Christmas tree as soon as advent began. I think it was the most wonderful time putting up the tree. I of course sat there the whole time with Thomas nursing and didn't help one bit. Grace and Anthony helped the most this year. I can't believe how big they are getting. I just sat there watching them and their proud faces helping daddy with the tree. I love this picture because it shows all four kids. Amazing!!

Their proud faces.

Sweet Thomas. Born November 26th 2010. 7lbs 12oz, 19.5in. (Birth Story to come)

Thomas Harrison Black

I don't know if you can read the picture Grace made for him to help his eyes focus on the black and white. It says "I love you baby. Love, Grace"

Grace has absolutely adored him from the moment she saw him. "oh, look at his cute little chin!"

She marvels at Him at every chance she gets

Thomas wouldn't wake up to eat so we would give him the colosterum through a little syringe

one day old.

words can't express...

4 days till arrival.
Just waiting in anticipation!
