Baking

Long time no update. Sorry. Get ready, here comes an update.

There's been some baking going on at our house. Aside from the kind that results in bread, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and rice krispie treats (yes, I consider making rice krispie treats baking) I've been working on this little bun for the last 9 months.






Yes, we now have a baby sister at our house. The boys love her and constantly ask me how she's doing. We're all excited to have her here.

Here are the numbers for those of you who are into that ;)

Tessa Anne Holmstead
Born 8:42 a.m. on September 26th
7 lb 11 oz
20.5 inches long

Melissa, I am so excited for you and the family. You deserve to have such a beautiful little girl. I hope you are doing well. I am sure you are because you are super mom nothing ever gets to you. I wish we still lived in Michigan so I could see that little cutie. Now I need to see pictures of you little guys. I know Lucas would love that. Congrats!!
