March Madness!






















Whew....March has come and gone and we can't believe that we are already part way through April! This last month has just flown by- between late night feedings, doctor appointments, visiting family and friends, taxes (ugh!) and trying to make sense of some sort of "schedule"- being new parents has definitely been keeping us on our toes! So to no one's surprise, we are having a hard time keeping up on this blogging-business. So to be on the safe side, check in on us once a month or so and you might be lucky to catch something new! Sorry there are so many pics- just tough for mom to pick and choose, I guess!

Here are some of the highlights from this last month and past few days...
* Jozie is 10 weeks old and our little peanut has just about reached a whopping 8lbs! To say the least, we are having a tough time putting weight on our little gal- slowly, but surely she is creeping up the scales!
* We took Jozie in to get her 2 month shots this past month and she took it like a champ- she may be wiry- but she's tough!
* Auntie Cassie came home from Michigan to meet Jozie for the first time and our friend, Mallory came back from Texas to meet our gal- we sure are lucky!
* Jozie was blessed on the 29th. We had a quiet, little service for her in MP and a special prayer for her- it was so very special to us and we were lucky to have some close family and friends join us for the sweet occasion. Pictures will be coming soon!
* Daddy thought that it might be fun to go clam digging with Jozie this weekend (thinking she may be a little young yet)- instead we opted to take the long way home to MP and did some bear scouting and stopped at the lookout tower for a beautiful view of the mountains and Camas Valley.

We are so lucky to have Jozie! We love being parents and she is so much fun to watch grow! She is so busy with her hands- always moving them some way or another. She is trying so hard to constantly hold her head up and look around and she is full of smiles!

precious pics













I'm doing this a little backwards- these are some pictures that our sister-in-law took when Jozie was 2 weeks old and some of our favorites from the hospital.

A look at the past few weeks....





















We decided that it's about time to update our blog with some new pictures of our little girl! Jozie is just about 6 weeks old now and seems to be growing fast. She sure is a little snuggle-bug and we think that she is already a drama queen (she is very expressive with her hands- check out the picture of her in the bassinet) and we wouldn't have it any other way! The pictures that we are posting are pretty much from day 1 up until a couple of days ago. The most recent pictures are first.

Welcome to the world JOZIE RYAN!!















On January 31st at 5:30pm, we were blessed with a sweet and precious baby girl.
Jozie Ryan was 7lbs/1oz and 19.5 inches long. She is healthy and beautiful and we couldn't imagine life without her. It was a very emotional and amazing experience and extra special because Daddy got to help deliver her. Needless to say, there were many tears of joy. We feel so incredibly blessed to have this sweet little one in our arms and can't even begin to express the endless love that we feel for her. Baby, Mommy and Daddy are all doing very well. Here are some pictures of our sweet girl and proud Mommy and Daddy.

Funny side note- the day that we were planning on doing our 9 month photo shoot with our sister-in-law was the day that my water broke. We figured that a picture of Andrew kissing his newborn baby is much cuter than kissing my big belly! The last picture is of me and Timber 9 months along...
