More pictures of our precious baby

Spirit week!! Abi was so excited to be able to take part in spirit week this year. She has watched Kev do crazy things through out the year and was thrilled to take part. This is crazy hair day!

Red and Black day

What a treat!!! We were so blessed to have Joe and Andrea and their family come. It has been too long since they have been here and we were thrilled. I'm not sure that we were the best of hosts but we hope they know how much it meant that they came. They made a wonderful lunch and we were able to visit and then Andrea gave me the best foot rub I have to say it was so relaxing. Thanks you guys for making the effort to show your love and support we sure love you guys.

Daddy getting some love.

Julie and Luke took the kids to Wal-Mart and Mac wanted to stay home. He just hung out with me and helped me with Maggie. When it was time to feed her he asked if he could do it. He helped me get the bottle ready and as we were doing that he said, "Mom, I can't wait to be a dad." He will make a very fine dad, what a good kid he is.

I guess all good things must come to an end. Mom did have to go home and we just didn't want her to. We don't know what we would have done without her. Thanks so much mom for all you did, we sure do love you.

My oh My what do we have here. Is that a Leopard!! She is to die for!!!

Aunt Ju-Ju meeting Maggie for the first time. We were so excited to have Luke, Julie, and Dominick come and visit. What a big help they were. Bean just came in and took over with the laundry and the kids. Again how blessed we are to have such wonderful families. Thanks guys we sure do love ya.

We were so greatful to Aunt Ju-Ju we had saved the cutting of Maggies finger nails until she came. Wow were her nails long and she kept scratching herself.

Dominick was so sweet with Maggie. He happened to find a baby doll and he carried her around and tried to give her a binky and cover her with a blanket. It's ok Luke he is just going to be a good nurturing dad.

Even Luke got in on the Maggie love!

Abi has taken well to being a big sister. She loves to show her off. She wakes up in the morning and wants to start the day off holding her sister.

Just a random picture but it warms my heart every time I walk into the boys room and see this. Ben often climbs into bed with Mac, but tonight he was scared and Mac told him it would be ok just to come and lay with him. What sweet kids.

I forgot to post this one in the last entry and it is one of my favorites. Even though the kids couldn't go into see the baby they came and waited in the lobby. As soon as Maggie was born, and Kev had pictures and video he headed out and showed the kids. They were such good sports about having to wait.

Introducing Maggie Kristine Anderson5:30 a.m. We are ready to go!
Checking into the hospital. I don't know if it is the nerves that caught up with me or very little sleep the night before that made me look forlorn.

What a treat it was to have Dad, Mom, and Grandma be able to make it into the surgery waiting room before I went back. That helped calm my nerves a bit.
Ready or not here I goooooo!!!!!

And here she is all 7 pounds almost 4ounces and 19 inches long. She came out fighting; she has nice strong lungs!

I love this picture. Here are the Grandmas recording the whole event!

These little tests they do always make me sad. I don't get to be there, but I have to admit I am kind of glad because it would be hard for me to see her cry and not be able to make it better. Kev does a good job making sure she is ok and they are treating her right.

She was so hungry; she was trying to eat Kev's fingers. I was a little longer that usual coming out of recovery and that was hard on them all to have her cry and not be able to help her.

Proud dad, what an amazing dad he is.

Great Grandma getting a turn, we were so glad that she was there.

Grandma Barela loving on Maggie. We were so grateful to have Viv come and spend time with us and help with the kids while we were in the hospital. We were able to have her come a day early and that was a treat. We feel so blessed that our kids have such wonderful grandparents.

Pretty in pink

We were so excited to have Uncle Verle and Aunt Rose come and see our angel.

Dad getting me all ready to go home.

And we are set

LETS GO!!!!

The kids were so excited for us to get home. The hospital was closed off to visitors 12 and younger and that broke their hearts. But they were so patient and understanding. We kept them home from school on Wednesday so they would be right there when we arrived home. The doctor took a little longer getting me released and that was killing them. They called about every half hour or so to see if the doctor had come. They were thrilled to see us pull into the drive way.

Look how excited, check out Ben jumping off the ground. For about an hour after we arrived home the kids kept saying mom look how tiny her fingers are, mom look how cute her ears are, dad look at her feet. They just couldn't get enough of her.

Abi finally has her sister. Oh how she loves her.

Mac thinks she is pretty amazing.

I think the smile says it all.

This picture is a little emotional for me. Here are all my babies; how more perfect is that. This is what life is all about. I feel so blessed and humbled that our Heavenly Father trusted me enough to send me four of his beautiful children.

Grandpa Joe giving loves and not wanting to say good bye. Thank you Joe for coming and spending time with the kids and meeting Maggie.

Grandma Viv thanks again for all you did. How blessed we are to have you.

Look at the blanket isn't it too cute. My mom makes all the kids their own special blanket with their names on them. I love it!

Ok so we are doing bows with this little girl. We admit this is a littl big (Ok so a lot to big) but we are getting the hang of it and she is very patient.

Oh my how cute! This is after her first night home. Wow what a night. It was so nice to have my mom here because, I am a little embarrased to admit this, but I handed her over to mom and went to bed.

She loves to be on her belly and get her back rubbed down.

Dad just admiring

Getting a bath. Check out who is peeking around grandma. I can't tell you what a good little helper her has been. He had wanted to be a part of everything.

I mean really what can I say she is pretty close to perfect.

Hello we have to accessorize!! What a sweet little spirit. We are so blessed with family and friends. We thank everyone for the gifts, visits, and phone calls. We have been showered with love and we are thankful.
