He's here!




Evan Samuel Foster was born on Thursday February 26th at 7:11 in the morning. He weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 inches long. It was quite a surprise considering we still had four weeks left until his due date. Nevertheless, everything is great and he is as healthy as can be. In fact he was a really good size for being four weeks early. Of course I think he is the cutest baby ever because he looks like his dad, but he really is the cutest baby ever! He is such a blessing in our lives and we are so grateful that he is healthy and everything is ok. He has a ton of long blonde hair and his dad's olive skin. So far everyone is adapting well and we are especially proud of Eden. She seems to be handling the new baby just fine.
Already I feel a sense of completeness with our family and it has been awesome to be home and spending time together. We have so much support here in Morgan and so far the adjustment has not been as difficult as I had expected. I am sure there will be times when we are overwhelmed and exhausted but the joy these beautiful children bring into our lives FAR outweighs the hard stuff.

We also celebrated Eden's and Sam's birthdays in February...busy month I know:)
My friend Carole made the cake for Eden and it turned out so cute. Thanks again Carole!

Thanks everyone for coming up for her birthday...it was a fun night and we love and appreciate all of you.


Sam's traditional "whopper" cake

Sam's "sympathy" belly

Sam's birthday was fun too. We had cake and ice cream right before church...smart I know. For dinner we went to our friends Ryan and Sara Garrett and had crab legs and spaghetti.
So as you can see, it has definitely been a super crazy month full of family, friends, and surprises! We are so blessed to have a new baby in our home and lives. Thanks for all of your prayers and support. We love you!

Congrats cousin! Evan is beautiful...how far apart in age are your last two? Looks like one year! You'll do great. It's tough having two so close together now, but they'll be life long buddies.

Connor says "Hi" to Alex.
