john clinton demaris is here! he was born june 20th at 6:01 pm. 8 lbs. 11oz., & 20 1/4 inches. we did a home birth for the first time, and it went perfectly! labor time was only 5 hours and everything went smoothly! we love our new addition, and we are excited to have a boy around the house! the girls can't keep their hands off him, poor guy...he is perfect and couldn't be more loved!

ballet pics

both the girls are taking ballet, which they love! pictures were taken in recital costumes...kinda wish they were without the big red cheeks...but cierra was not feeling well, i was lucky to get the first group picture with her class...which she pretty much ruined...kinda funny pic tho.

to stay busy

to stay busy these last few weeks/month....we canned all our food storage! I finished up teaching my 2nd year of preschool, made baby blankets & ribbon blankets (and i NEVER sew), and went on a family hike...just a few of the things we have been up to!

38 weeks

this is what 38 weeks looks like...this time...

the girls

i am so grateful to have two sweet little princesses, both of them are all girl! they love their ballet classes, dressing up, and just love eachother!

cierra, now 2 1/2, has been potty training herself lately and is doing a great job...with hardly a word out of my mouth she makes sure she gets to the potty, wipes, and washes her hands. she wants to be a big girl pretty bad and i am dang proud of her!

carly, 4 1/4, just finished her 2nd year of preschool! she is my little poser in all her pics and is teaching cierra to follow after her..crack me up!

grandma foster is in town to help with the baby that we hope is born soon! i am just waiting and waiting...this one is harder because i am bigger than i have ever been and only just over 38 weeks now...
