Sweet Levi

A new computer that actually works at home = time to get back to blogging! It's hard to believe it has been 4 months since I blogged last and our lives have changed so much since then. Last Tuesday, January 3rd we welcomed Levi Fuller Clark to our family.

We are completely in love with this sweet boy (as are his brother and sisters). He is such a laid back little man that loves to eat! At his doctor appointment yesterday (to check his jaundice) he already weighed more that his birth weight which the doctor said was "unprecedented." This little guy has a big future ahead of him and we are so excited to be a part of it!

Until Later,

Park Play

We enjoyed the beautiful weather we have had this week by spending Friday night at the park. The kids had the best time. Here are some pictures from our latest adventure.







We have really enjoyed the cooler weather, but we would love some rain! I don't think we have ever needed it more. Praying for rain and cooler weather!

Scissor Disaster

Katelyn

=

Yes, we had our first scissor accident today! Katelyn has always twirled her hair and when she does she sometimes gets knots in it (or her finger stuck). Today while twirling her hair she got a knot in it and instead of asking mom for help, she tried to help herself! I was in complete shock! Luckily her hair was pulled back in a half pony tail and she cut behind it. She is just going to have to wear her hair down for the next few months!

Until later,

Big Sisters!

Jason and I were shocked to find out that we were expecting baby number in 4 in January! We found out in May and tried to keep it low key and private from the kids until we knew that everything was okay. However, after being very sick for a week and home with the kids all summer, they were beginning to worry about me (especially Isaiah). Here is the beginning of the conversation we had with the kids:


Jason - "Do you guys want a new brother or sister?"

Isaiah - "Only if they are brown."

Addison - "Only if it is twins."

Katelyn - "No, I am your baby."

I think the kids were as shocked as Jason and I were to find out! However, they have become so excited about their new brother or sister. Jason and I have started to buy baby supplies so that once school starts I won't have as much to worry about.We are keeping the gender of this little one a surprise until his/her birthday, so we are buying everything gender neutral. It is actually very hard to find a lot of gender neutral things (especially clothes). We recently bought a car seat and stroller and the girls have been testing it out with their baby dolls. It is so cute! Here is a picture of what they were doing today.

I sure do love these girls! I can't wait to see them with their new brother or sister!

Until later,

Isaiah's 6th Birthday - Part I

We celebrated Isaiah's 6th birthday with the Clark side of the family on Saturday night. It is hard to believe that he is almost 6. It's even harder for me to believe that he's been home for 5 1/2 years!

Isaiah loves SpongeBob, so we decided to do a SpongeBob cake. It turned out great and was delicious.
Isaiah with his cake! I love this picture of him. His smile just melts my heart.

Addison loves birthdays! It doesn't matter that it isn't her birthday! She just loves the birthday atmosphere.

In two weeks we head to Great Wolf Lodge with my side of the family to celebrate his birthday. Stay tuned for more pictures of our sweet 6 year old!

Until later,
Melissa

Bedtime Conversations

The bedtime conversation that Jason heard between Addison and Isaiah tonight was HILARIOUS!

Addison: Isaiah, will you marry me?

Isaiah: Addison, I can't marry you, you are my sister. Besides, I'm going to marry someone brown.

I love that my kids are each others best friends! It brings a smile to my face.
