October

On October 28th at midnight, I got a call from my sister Lori. She was very calm and said, "My water broke." I thought she was joking she was so calm! I hopped out of bed, threw on some clothes, packed a little bag and off I went. Jeff was working in North Dakota and I was honored to be able to take her. After a long 18 hours Kobin Shayne was born! Jeff made it seriously 5 minutes before he was born. It was like a movie with the nurses cheering when he arrived. It was such a cool experience! I am so glad I was able to experience a birth besides my own kids. It was so different for me to experience this birth compared to Quin's. With Quin I almost felt numb because it was all so new. I had no idea what to expect and with the epideral I felt like I wasn't doing anything and I was just getting really frusturated. With Kobin's I was so emotional. The miracle of life is amazing! Thank you for letting me be a part of Kobin's birth Lori! I will gladly be your midwife any day! Halloween!

Anniversary

I feel like something has come between us...

I can't believe it's been 3 years, and now we have this sweet little girl! We celebrated with a little get away with just the two of us. Grammy Cindy was so kind to watch Quin for a night and I think Quin had a party! One of the benefits of getting married in October is it's the off season for a lot of things including Jackson. On Saturday we drove to Yellowstone and saw good Old Faithful. We had just missed the fall leaves but the week before we had hiked Table Rock just as all the leaves were changing. I feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful area! My goal is to go to Yellowstone more often...

Quinley's 1st Birthday!

Quinley shares a Birthday with one of her favorite Aunts, Lori! She was still not walking but she had perfected her "cheese" smile Grandpa Shayne taught her. May many more happy years come your way Quinley Pearl!
