Our boy has arrived!

Yesterday was a fantastic day in meeting the new member of our family... is it Parke or Parker (we still haven't finalized his name yet)?

Molly's feeling as good as can be expected, we are enjoying the luxuries of a hospital room (i.e. hospital ice, endless warm cookies, a fold-out couch to sleep on, a nursery full of nurses to watch the baby all night... it's like a vacation! [okay, not quite]

Anyway, life is good... really good. We are really most happy that he is in good health right now. Now to figure out how to parent three children... that is our next step. We thank the Lord for the blessings that are too many to count!

The bad and good news: he is getting a circumcision as a I type this message... a necessary but painful process for him.

Hanging with the Shultz clan

Another REALLY fun weekend hanging out with the Shultz and Landis (and for a minute, Ryan Palmer and his family) clans. For some strange reason, I barely picked up my camera for the weekend and only took a few photos, so enjoy. From playing Apples to Apples, learning that letting my kids ride to the neighborhood pool without seat belts is bad, and reading through baby books in an effort to pick our future son's middle name, we had a GREAT weekend.

Website

Check out my new photography website if you get a chance at: kellyapplegatephotography.com.

I would appreciate any feedback on design, ease of use, etc.... I appreciate any help! I plan to take a break from photography for most of August when the baby comes and get back into it in September. Say prayers for Molly... she if feeling okay but is ready to have this baby (hopefully sooner than later!).

God bless,

Are squirrels are friends? Let's find out.

Bedtime Routines

We have a VERY specific bedtime routine each night and certain words that need to be said by specific people (mainly Kennedy). I'm sure any parent of a little one can relate! Enjoy.....
