Kid in the Road...

Ash's B-day

We are celebrating a little early....This was Ashley's face prior to the McDonald's trip...

Wants to stay in here Sunday Dress all day...

Usually you have to convince children to stay in their Sunday clothes instead and putting on grubbies when church is over. Not Mads. She would stay in her dress all day if we let her. In fact, she did just that today...

Will's week-old pics...

Well....a little more than a week. Catching him asleep in the day is no problem...I'd love to get a picture of him sleeping at night, but that doesn't happen as much....

Ashley was put in a GAP ad!!!

Thought we'd share the big news! Ashley was put in one of the newest GAP ads that should come out soon. They sent us a copy of the ad...

Apparently I am *NOT* a newborn photographer....

I'll tell you what...this wasn't a very fun picture to get. I was so excited to do a little newborn photography, but after a bunch of work, screaming (him, not me), crying (me, not him...kidding) and picture snapping, I finally pulled this off. I thought it would be easier. Not so much...

Our Newest Arrival!!!

Please welcome our little Will into the world! Janese and I went to the hospital on Wednesday for the planned C-Section. Everything went very, very smoothly. No racing tot he hospital in the snow like last time. No labor pains. No feeling like we're in the middle of an emergency. Everything just went pretty darn smoothly. Our family is really grateful. Here are a few pics from the first few minutes of life:













We've named him WIlliam, though we'll call him "Will" (unless I'm in lecture-mode)...He was 7 lbs. 9 oz., 20 inches long, a little more hair than the other four children and a nice, sleepy, happy, content disposition...for now...

Just a Couple Days Away...

Janese and I decided to do a quick maternity shoot before little #5 arrives...
