An Addition to the Dansie Crew!

Jacob Edward Dansie

September 25, 2009

8 lbs 5 ozs

21 1/2 ins

After a false trip to the hospital on Sunday September 20, he came on the day the doctor had chosen for him. Thank goodness... once the medicine kicked in the labor (an all day process), labor itself was only about an hour. We would have not made it to the hospital if we would have waited for him to come on his own. Its about a 40 minute drive.

Coming up with a name for him took a whole lot longer then actually getting him here. We had decided a while back his middle name would be Edward... after Jonathan's middle name and his Grandpa Edward (aka. Eddie). We had a long list of names...really good names that sounded good with Edward, but after 6 days of calling him all of those names even some not on the list... Jacob is the one we feel fits him best. (No influence of Twilight what so ever!)

He is a little angel. He is a very content baby. He sleeps, eats, relaxes (in mom or dad's arms, of course), and gets lots of kisses and touches from his older sister and brother. His very favorite thing is to have his hair comb with the tooth brush the hospital gave him.

The New and improved Dansie Family!

Our New Home

We did it. We finally found a place to call our own. It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath home, with lots of room to grow in the basement. It is a little closer to Jonathan's work, so that means we see a little more of him, which we love. We are glad we got moved in before the baby arrived. There are still lots of boxes to unpack, but we'll get it eventually. I hope we don't move for a while...I am tired of moving.

A Kindergartner?

Alexis, our Kindergartner!

Can you believe we have a kindergartner? I can't. Today was Alexis' first day at school. She loves it, of course. She did so well going in hanging up her back pack and finding her name on the table. She looked so grown up. I have to admit I did pretty well too, no tears.

Alexis and Miss Harms, her teacher.

Waiting for class to start.

A brother who missed her so much!

A glimps of our soon new arrival...

We are so lucky to have a sister-in-law who does ultra-sounds for a living. She always asks if we want to do one, and come on now, who doesn't want to see what is going on in the 3 ft ball that is always moving in front of you. This time we saw him kick himself in the face with his foot and using his tongue to swallow. He is about 34 weeks:

Face...

Everyone says he looks like Dallin... I guess we will find out in a few weeks.

Thanks Shauna!

Summer Bounty!

Before....

Jonathan has worked so hard on our garden this year. We have been able to have corn on the cob, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, carrots, onions, peas, spinach and almost watermelon and cantaloupe. We have been so blessed by his hard work.

After....
