Another Busy Week!

Jeanette, a good friend from Eisenhower, stopped by this afternoon to see Raegan!

MaryJane, another good friend from Eisenhower, came by on Sunday evening to meet Raegan and to bring us dinner!!! (which was fabulous, by the way!)

Peyton, playing with all her baby dolls + Baby Raegan!

My doctor for the second half of pregnancy! LOVED HER!!! (good picture of doctor, not so good of Raegan!)

Bad picture of doctor, better picture of Raegan!

Raegan at her first doctor appointment on Wednesday. She weighed 9 lbs even and was still 20.5 inches long. Doctor said she is perfectly perfect!

Proud big sister Logann, posing for a pic with her new baby sister!

Gingerbread House day at Preschool!

Miss Carol, helping me out by feeding Raegan a bottle so I could be a good mom and take pictures of the event! Hard to juggle it all, but I am finding ways to figure it out!

All bundled up and ready to drive around and look at Christmas Lights for the first time!

Getting Ready for Christmas!

Are there any presents yet?

Our 3 Ninnymuggins!

Bright-Eyes!

Round 1 of tree-decorating...the girls went first, then mommy and daddy re-decorated! Notice how the bottom third was as high as they went!

Taking turns holding little sis!

Logann is learning how to multi-task...she learns this by watching mom, only mom's drink of choice these days is coffee, not cocoa!

They are getting along in this picture...not the story today though!

They are getting along in this picture too!

First bath with all 3 in the same tub...it was fun minus the loud cries from Raegan! The water wasn't warm enough this time.

Counting down 'til Christmas!

Cousins Mary, Hannah and Natalie came over to meet Baby Rae!

Cookies & Cocoa at preschool!

Sleeping...what she does best!

Back to Normal (sort of) at Home

Life with three kids is going well! Brent is home from work for a while, so that is nice, but I can see how it will also be challenging for me when he goes back to work!

Jeff and Connie, our next door neighbors actually visited on Sunday night, but I wanted to include their picture!

Raegan takes a bottle just fine!

Logann enjoying some alone time while Raegan and Petyon were napping.

My AWESOME friend Nicole, who organized dinners to be brought to us for the next couple of weeks from a lot of our Vancouver friends! Thanks Nicole!

Logann and Peyton started opening their 25 bags of Christmas. This is our "above and beyond" way of counting down the days 'til Christmas...a little more fun than a paper chain, but the same idea!

Our good buddy Erin, taking a study break from her National Boards. She came over for some snuggle time with Raegan and some play time with Logann and Peyton!

Our first regular day home with Raegan was quite eventful as you can see! We love having visitors to share our new bundle of Joy with! I didn't take as many pictures today (Tuesday) because I had to buckle down and get some things done around the house. Brent got the Christmas lights up, I got laundry caught up on and normal everyday housework done! Busy time I tell ya!

Dukes' Family Gathering on Sunday

The Dukes' side of the family came up to meet Baby Raegan on Sunday. They all pitched in and brought dinner which was so nice not to have to cook again! The weather was nice and we had some family pictures taken out on the front porch (Raegan's real first time outside for more than just a few minutes!) Great Grandma and Grandpa Dukes got pictures taken with all 5 of their great-grandchildren! We Skyped with Uncle Brian in Iraq...and he got to meet Raegan for the first time. In the one picture of Logann and Peyton facing the computer, they were showing him how big Raegan is! And Cousin Colin practiced holding a baby, which he did very well at! He gets to hold his baby sister due in January!

Thanksgiving on Saturday

We had Thanksgiving Dinner on Saturday. Mom cooked, Dad held Raegan, Brent helped Mom, Jeremy and Katie were entertained by Logann and Peyton, and I rested! It was a great, relaxing day (except for Mom probably!) Thanks Mom for making the late Thanksgiving wonderful! Oh yeah, and Raegan had her first bath at home!

Coming Home from the Hospital

We got home from the hospital on Friday night around 9:00. The girls were tucked in bed so we walked upstairs to check on them. Peyt was konked but Logann was still awake. She was too excited for her new sister's arrival to fall asleep! The first thing she wanted to do was hold Baby Raegan!
