Relaxin' Jaxson

We found that he really likes to lay all spread out. We think it is really funny and cute since most babies like to be swaddled up all nice and tight.

He's Here!

Little Jaxson decided to come this morning at 10:04. He weighs 9 lbs 10 1/2 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. Mom and baby are both doing great!

We will update you all soon. We need to get some sleep.... or try! :)

Just waiting...39 weeks yesterday!!

 

Revelation Revealed

 
Here are some pictures of what Mike and the production team at the church have been doing. He and Jason worked TONS of hours the week before getting this set ready. It is a 12-week series so thankfully everyone will be able to enjoy it for a few weeks.  Like I've said before, Mike is loving his job and enjoys the challenge and opportunity to create stage sets. And let me just say, he does a phenomenal job!! It's been great to be beside him and not only see the finished project, but to get to hear his ideas. I get a glimpse of what he sees before the final product is revealed.  This particular week you see pictured, was the first week of the series and they did a "reveal drop" during the first song. It was a breath-taker. Getting to see it all happen live at a couple of the services made me more proud of Mike and all of his hard work.   Really, it's something you'd have to see for yourself, I can't put it into words. In the other pictures, you can see that the screen and truss moved down while the "Revelation Revealed" moved up. Again, a very cool worship experience that added so much to the morning. It was exciting to see everything fall into place after the team had worked so hard!

Baby Taylor

Here are some pictures of Jay and Sheila's little girl. She's adorable and we can't wait to meet her!

Here is new mommy, Sheila, holding Taylor with Grandpa holding Caleb and Tucker in the middle!

We will add pictures of Taylor as we get them, but here are some updated pictures of our nephews, Tucker and Caleb!! They're so cute!!

Grandma and Grandpa with the boys...

Our niece is here!!

Jay and Sheila are the proud parents of baby Taylor Eillen. She was born in Topeka on Monday, July 30 at 5:17 p.m. She weighed 8 pounds and 12 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. Mom and baby are doing great. We'll have more pictures as she continues to grow. I don't get to see her until the end of October, but uncle Mike has to wait until probably Christmastime. :( She's going to be changing so much...that's the bummer about being so far apart. But it's going to be an exciting, crazy Christmas at my parents house this year and we're looking forward to hopefully having all the new babies together! Grandma and Grandpa are excited for sure to have all their grandkids and kids home at the same time. Hopefully we can all work our schedules to be there together. Stay tuned for more updates about all the babies... :)
