Joy

It began at 3 am on June 28. 2016. She arrived after seven that night. Right from the start our sweet E has been such a joy. She can get sassy at times, but for the most part she is just sweet and happy. We love her so much!

The nurses stamped her footprint on the kids' arms and they loved that!

We were so blessed to have both our moms here to help and they brought the kids to the hospital to meet their baby sister right away. I love how proud and happy they are in these pics!

So proud!

Christina at 4 Ever Memories Photography was sweet and came to the hospital to take a few pics of her.

Tonselectomy

Little J had his tonsils and adenoids out. I knew it was a routine procedure and all, but watching him walk down the hall with the nurse broke my heart! He did very well though. When we walked into the recovery room, he exclaimed (in a very scratchy voice) "Dad, I got my tonsils out!!" The other kid that just had it done was screaming his brains out. J just itched his face and fell in and out of sleep. He was such a champ! Once we got home, we kept waiting for him to get bad, be in a lot of pain, be cranky, cry, etc, but he was so good! In fact, we looked in his throat to make sure they had actually yanked those suckers out! We were also amazed at how much his sleeping and breathing improved.

Sometime after that Mr. J had a birthday:

J got a buzz cut:

M ate dinner?? What? Don't know....

This kid loves some dirt...

We had an adventure with raccoons in our walls. We caught one of the babies trying to get back in.

The kids made masks and stuff at the library:

Big Announcement!

As the weather warms up, the Wilson things love to get outside and play!

Here is the picture we announced to everyone else  that didn't already know of our long-awaited, prayed-for new blessing: 

Mr. J's three girls!

J's preschool class took a field trip to the Andrew's dairy. I was working so Mr. J went a long as a parent helper. They had a great time!

Indy Museum

I think this pic is from my birthday dinner at Moe's:

We took the kiddo's to the Children's Museum in Indy. It was such a fun day!

 

 They did a Transformer entertainment show, and J got picked out of a pretty large crowd to participate. So he got to hold the spark (I think that's what it's called) and help save the Transformers! He was really cute and happy about it!

M and I got to have a mommy/daughter date. I loved having some one-on-one time with this beauty!

I know these pics are somewhat out of order, but around the same time we had Easter.
