New Arrival

Just a quick posting to announce the arrival of Daniel Porter Mitchell. He came into this world at 10:53 am on July 16, 2008 more reluctantly than his two brothers did. Becky endured about ten and a half hours of Labor, with the help of an epidural! His two brothers both came with a minimal pushing effort of only 15 to 20 minutes. Daniel made his mother struggle for almost a full hour before releasing his grip. He was born weighing 8 pounds 3 ounces and 20 inches long. Everything is going great and Mom and Daniel are recovering nicely. Daniel also has had his first visitors, his brothers. Thomas has been really excited and loved to see his new brother. Samuel on the other hand seems indifferent and doesn’t know what to think. I’m sure he will catch on soon enough.

The Vause's said...: YEAH!!! I'm SO happy for you guys!!! I can't wait to see him in person. Hats off to Becky for being such a sport and hanging in there for that not so lovely devilery. I guess every delivery can't go as smoothly as Tom and Sam's. I'm so glad that there weren't any major complications and that mom and baby are doing great! You guys are awesome and I love you so much! -Shelley; July 16, 2008 at 4:49 PM

Birthday's

April is here and with it brings many birthday's. On April 5th Ed turned 36 (shhh, don't tell anyone), and on the 10th Tommy turned 6. The boys had a lot of fun on their birthdays.

For Ed's we went to an indoor go-cart place, and let Ed and his best-friend Darryl go racing. Ed's bosses, Jean and Vaughn, also joined them for some fun. Of course with my belly getting bigger I got to babysit the boys. They had fun playing the video games and watching Dad get his butt kicked by his friend (shhh, don't tell anyone that either).

For Tom's birthday we decided to go bowling. It was a lot of fun for the whole family. Obviously we haven't done it for awhile, and Mom had a little handicap with the stomach. Tom and Sam almost beat their Mom! It was a little embarrasing. Everyone had a good time though.
