Little Maggie will surely be loved!!! More pictures will come soon....

Stevo.

(including one of my lovely wife, upon approval)

Born on Wedsnesday, March 4th at 1:42 am. She weighs in at 8 lbs and 6 oz. I didn't get her measurements yet, we were too out of it. I haven't slept yet and now I'm looking after the boys till we can go visit the baby after Emmy's school day is done. She doesn't really cry, she just makes cute little squeaking noises. She seems really content so far. So far...

We'll phone you all really soon once we get some shut-eye.

Poor Angie is doing well, she just needs some rest.

Magdelina Ruth Plett. What a cutie!!!

One of my favorite Hawaii moments was on our way home. Watching them feed the fish at the Honolulu airport. Emily just noticed it looks like the boys are praying. Yeah, you should have prayed that you'd sleep on the upcoming 6 hour flight.

Happy 4th Birthday Hunny Bunny

Yay for Hockey! Cutest thing. They play for hours. Emily joins the kids on the neighbour's driveway, have yet to get a great shot of that. It's usually in the dark.

oh lesa my sweet. thank-you for dancing your tiny silhouette my way. being with you always does something special for my soul. i love you i love you i love you my bff.

He talks!! And he makes commands. Pointing to my camera bag at the end he said "Close it! Camera in there!"

Anyone recognizing Steve's costume (minus the boots and leggings)? Guess noth'ns sacred after 3 kids :)

A little visit with the Hieberts proved two things to me...

1) Their kids are really really cute

2) Their kids really are really really cute

And their parents are really cool too.

Highlight #1 Watching the boyz and their cousin James play together. Truthfully they didn't really play together. They played, in the same room, but technically not together. You can tell that they will potentially have use for each other someday. For now it was Emily who was the apple of her cousin's eye and vice versa.

Our dashing boyz got a clean cut just before our trip. Simon wasn't ready for all the texturing and layering Tommy put up with so he got the "10 second tidy". I was ready to 10 second tidy that hairdresser for cutting off Simon's manly sideburns. More MB highlights to come...

This was my 32nd Birthday. To celebrate, I wore a side ponytail and lipstick and served chocolate cupcakes in the backyard. It was fabulous. Actually, it was a flop. We had a heck of a time mushing our cupcakes into the sprinkles to get them to stick. But in the end my kids adored me so I was happy.

Birthday Wishes Matt-We love you and couldn't imagine a sweeter little bro :)Speaking of sweet, look at that 72 hour old Simon! Evidence of what happens in less than 2 years may be analyzed in the motion picture below...
