Kathryn Louise Orr was born the morning of July 10th weighing 8lbs 5oz. We are all healthy, over whelmed with joy and just can't seem to get enough of that new baby smell and incredibly soft cheek kisses. There are no words to describe the joy and peace that enter a home with the arrival of a new baby.We are truly blessed.
This morning Brennan and I looked at our little boy and suddenly he seemed bigger. They loose the baby fat, and add a little to the attitude, personality, and vocabulary. i seems to happen over night. I love every stage, and yet its hard to see those stages pass and know they will never be at that place again. They pass so quickly. You can't help but wish you could press pause and savour it just a little longer. Our sweet little boy at two.
There is something about these two pictures I love. It would be easy to get lost in those eyes. So beautiful in every way. 
We had some really incredible thunder today, and to fallow was 40 minutes of heavy wonderful rain. Brennan and I sat on the porch and watched our kids have the time of their lives filling containers, and then finding new things to do with the water. After watering every potted plant they could find, they began to dump the water through a pipe that had a sprinkler hooked to the end, and would laugh and giggle every time it sprayed out the end, and even more when some one happened to get sprayed by it. They did this for about 30 minutes, and for that 30 minutes I couldn't help but truly enjoy the sound of their Innocent laughter. What a wonderful day. I love my family, and all the life that comes with them.
When we asked our kids what thay wanted to do for Canada day, we expected " Go to the Zoo", or something a little more extreme than the responses we recieved. "Draw pictures and make paper airplanes together", "Play leap frog", "fly kites", and " have a treat". Were the requests for the day. I am pleased to say everyones requests were fofilled, we had a blast, and the kids went to sleep really well at the end of the day. Keeping it simple always seems to works best.
Grandpa Orr is always thinking of new fun attractions for the grand kids. This is the newest, a 70' water slide. The kids and their Dads had a blast. All thanks to Grandpa.
11 days to go!. But who's counting right. I have truly enjoyed this pregnancy and the miracle of such a blessing as to be able to have children and a family. So, not that I'm tired of being large and awcword just to all extremes excited to hold our new little angel and kiss her sweet smelling tubby cheeks. Not that we have any choice, but we will continue to wait patiently with great anticipation.
