One last day…

The day before Molly was born, Rick, Jackson and I spent the day at the apple orchard doing the things Jackson loves to do –  Climb in the pumpkin patch – feeding all the animals – eating a cider donut and of course going on the swing set!  We had such a perfect day as a family of three – soaking up every minute of just me and my little buddy one last day.  Since I am never in front of the camera and I knew with the arrival of Ms. Molly I definitely won’t be in front of the camera with two adorable models to shoot now, I had Rick take a few pictures of Jackson and I together (finally!!)  I love these  – I love everything about them!  

Cider Donuts!

 
So big that little man!

 
But, now that Molly is here – what they say is true – My heart has grown bigger, I can’t remember our life before her, and I fall in love with Jackson more and more when I see how amazing he is with his little sister.  Despite all the fears I had of how he would adjust, would he be upset with me, would he share mom and dad etc. he has surpassed everything I worried about and has been amazing.  He just loves her so much and I know they are going to be the best of friends…   He is so gentle and caring and always wants to help.  He runs to get a new diaper when I ask and comes running back yelling ‘here you go, this is for you Molly Boo!’  Where Molly Boo came from, I have no idea – but its what he calls her!  
In true new parents (again) fashion — here are a few of our favorite hospital pictures! (yes, unedited! IMAGINE!)
Kisses for baby Molly!

MORE kisses!! (can you hear that kiss!?) 

The Love’s of my life…

YAY!!!

Daddy and Molly!

 
Mommy and Molly!!

Jackson’s first meeting Molly!

 
Such a big brother – Holding his new sister! “So pretty” he was saying…

Too cute!

Yay for our new baby!!

 
Coming home as a family of four!! (mimi caught a little sunflare!!)

So proud!

Admiring his new sister with dad… those piggies are so grown up!!!

 
I am so grateful for the blessings we have been given – Our family has grown and the love for my husband and children (PLURAL!!) has grown far more then I ever imagined it could.  Jackson, Mommy is so proud of you! You are doing such a good job as a new big brother!  Molly, you are the angel I prayed for all my life – thank you for being my little girl!  Rick, I couldn’t be more grateful to be on this journey with you – You are my best friend and a amazing father/husband.  I know how lucky Jackson and Molly are to have you as their Dad – and I know one day they will know too.
 
Here’s to the new adventure of our family of FOUR!!
