David Christian Boulware is Born

 Sommar gave David a gift on the morning that he was to be born.  February 7th, 2011.

 She knitted him a hat and a pair of booties.  She did this on her own without any help.  She is so thoughtful and creative and I was blown away with how perfectly the hat fit him.

 Christy is getting ready to be a big sister!

 So this is me in pre-op.  We had to wait for Dr. McAlpine to arrive so that we could begin.  He had an emergency hysterectomy that he had to perform so this delayed my scheduled surgery time.  This only added to my nervousness and anxiety about having my fifth cesarean.  I was a mess and very emotional.  But, God is faithful and he provided me with the most amazing nurses and the absolute best nurse anesthetist that I have ever had.

 Finally, surgery has begun.  David Christian Boulware was born at 1:26pm on February 7th, 2011!

 Our little man.

 This is me getting to see  and kiss David for the first time!  My first impression was that he looked just like Peter Jr. when he was born.  I was so happy and excited but ready for the surgery to be over with.

 David was 8 pounds, 5.6 ounces and 21 inches long.

 Tiny feet.

 This is me with the best nurses in Tallahassee.

 My first moments holding David.  It is always amazing and wonderful and never gets old.  Each child is such a miracle and such a blessing.

January 2011

The girls love to play beauty shop and guess who gets to be the client?!  Today I entered Jordan's Beauty Salon and got my hair done.

The finished product.  I was ready for the runway!

Peter had his first "play date" with Sammy at Sammy's house.  They played Legos the entire time.  Legos are Peter's favorite thing to do.

We came home from school one day and Jordan designed a beautiful mural out of the pattern blocks.  Jordan is so creative and loves to build things out of Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs and blocks.

One Saturday we decided to go bowling with our friends.  Aaron, Jalen, Sammy and Peter had so much fun.

After we bowled, we went to Cici's pizza!  It was a great night with great friends.

Nana came to visit us in January and took the girls to get manicures and pedicures.  They absolutely loved it!  What girl doesn't like to be pampered?!

Daddy and Peter went to the Monster Jam at the Civic Center.  This was the second year in a row that they've gone to it.  They were smart this year and brought head phones!  They had a great time!

Peter was so full of popcorn and soda!

Jordan's Birthday Party at Cold Stone Creamery

 The most beautiful 6 year old girl.  Jordan was beaming today.  She was so excited for her party.  And she looked absolutely amazing.  This is one of my favorite pictures of Jordan.  It was Jordan's special day!

 Jordan's Princess birthday cake.  She made a necklace out of the decorations on the cake.

 The kids got to make their own ice cream sundaes!  Jordan chose gummy bears and M&M's with chocolate ice cream. Yummy!  

 Kailey and Sommar are enjoying their ice cream!  There were so many great friends at the party.

 Christy and Daddy shared an ice cream cup.  She thoroughly enjoyed it!

 Jordan loved opening her gifts and really enjoyed being the center of attention.  She was radiant!

 Jordan, Jael and Laine!  Jordan has some great friends!

Cake time!  Jordan is getting ready to blow out her candles. As you can tell, she was so excited! I love my girl!

 The birthday gang!  Aria, Kara, Jordan, Laine, Baylee, Jael, Peter, Kailey, Sommar, Emory & Christy!

 Happy Birthday to my sweet 6 year old princess! 

Jordan, I am so glad that you were born!  We love you!
