we continue to adjust, and make our way as a family of five. the kids are still enamored with beckett and like to be around her. grandma leaves on monday, so the real adjustment will start when they realize that mommy has her hands tied at different times, but we will make it! Happy Easter....enjoy your day.

Welcome Beckett Jane Bolt

Beckett Jane Bolt

born: March 27th, 2009 @12:54pm.

weight: 7 lbs 15 oz

length: 21.5 inches long.

We welcomed Beckett into the world this weekend and we are all very excited! I had a very nice delivery which included a great epidural and only having to push 2 times! We are all home now, and the adjustment begins....both kids seem very excited about their new sister, and willing to help. We know the next few weeks, and months may be tough...but we are really excited to have this new sense of completion to our family!

sledding on the ice...without sleds....

i know the video is side ways, but you get the idea...the backyard was covered in ice...so brett was sliding the kids on their backs while in winter coats....comical! :)

The Grandma Bolt whistle.......

again with the catch up....

we headed to Las Vegas for Brett's 40th birthday. I surprised him with a five day trip out west (my parents stayed in Maryland with the kids), and then surprised him again by having all 3 of this brothers, their wives and his parents meeting us there for a weekend of fun! We all had a great time and it was so much fun! I spent over a year planning this, organizing and pulling it all together and with the help of my family..it worked! For those who know me, keeping secrets is not my strong point, so the fact that I hid this from him for 13 mos was amazing! We were able to enjoy some quiet time without the kids, gamble a little, catch a Cirque show, the boys did the Richard Petty Driving Experience, and the girls spent some time at the spa. We had some excellent meals, and spent a lot of time just enjoying adult conversation!

Now...we head into the next few weeks with anticipation and excitement. I will be induced on March 27th (if she does not make her appearance before that) and at that time we will welcome our third child!
