New Pics...

Hello everyone! Things are going well here in good old Kirksville! Kate had a doctor's appointment on Friday to check to see if she was back up to her birth weight and she is! :) She now weighs 7 lbs. 12.8 ounces! What an overachiever! :)

The boys are doing really well. Chris is keeping his fingers crossed that the weather cooperates so he can actually play some soccer this week! His games are supposed to be on Saturdays but almost all of them have been rained out! He has a make-up game this Thursday (there is a 40% chance of rain) and then one on Saturday (there is a 20% chance of rain) so please keep your fingers crossed for him! :) He is also wanting to sign up for T-ball...I'm just hoping the weather improves for that!

Daniel is really loving his baby sister (as does Chris!)...he is very protective of her and gets very worried if she starts fussing at all! Trains are still the highlight of his day and in fact he is playing with his Thomas trains right at this moment!

Hope everyone out there is doing well! Feel free to leave us a message and let us know how you are doing, etc! Enjoy the pictures...

Katherine Grace Marshall is HERE!

Hello everyone! I'm here to tell you that Katherine Grace Marshall is here! I'm also placing some pictures at the end of this post for everyone to see!

For those of you who don't know, Miss Kate was supposed to be delivered by C-Section today (April 24th)....well, who knew that she would have her own ideas!

At about 3:00 a.m. on April 11th, my water broke and off to the hospital Greg and I went! Later that morning, at 7:12 a.m. Kate was born! :) She weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 22 inches long. She was absolutely perfect from the moment she was born! We did have some issues with jaundice but nothing to worry too much about. She was on the bili-blanket until the following Thursday to help with her jaundice.

I do want to thank everyone who came by the hospital while we were there for four (very long) days! Especially to those of you who came and hung out even though I was not always coherent, etc! :) You know who you are! :)

I just can't believe that Baby Kate (as the boys call her) is actually here. The pink in our house is fantastic and the boys are totally in love with their baby sister. They are both so loving towards her and heaven forbid she ever cry while they are around! :)

Well, here are some pictures for you to enjoy and there will be more later! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Okay, so I'm not Nicole...

For those who don't know, Katherine Grace Marshall was born April 11th, 2008 at 7:12 am. She weighs 7 lbs 12 oz and is 22 inches long.

To tell the whole story, Nicole's water broke at about three this morning, and I got called in at about three-thirty to babysit the boys. Nicole and Greg were at the hospital by four, and she was told she would be having the baby at seven. So that's how baby Kate joined us!! Grandpa and Grandma Harman and Grandad and Grandma Marshal have all been to see the new baby, and everyone who sees her says she's beautiful (even for a newborn!)!! Nicole is doing fine, and mommy and baby expect to be home Sunday or Monday.


Here she is!! Katherine Grace Marshall!!!
