The kids have really welcomed Charlie with open arms. Even Matto is doing great with his new baby brother. This shnoozie almost worked but Matto was a little too excited to have Charlie joining him that he just couldn't quite fall asleep. A lot of my limited space problems could be solved if only I could just throw these two in a crib together. But instead Charlie will remain sleeping on the low rider chair next to my bed for a little while.

Hooray! Baby #5 is here! and that has been his name until a couple days ago we finally decided on Charles Jay Skidmore (Charlie). He was almost born in the car on the way to the hospital on Saturday, March 19th, 2011 but we made it to the hospital just in the nick of time and delivered the baby within five minutes of arrival. He was 7 lbs 13oz and 20 inches long. We are all doing great and everyone is enjoying having a sweet new baby in the family.

B wanted to have a "Cooking Birthday Party" so we made our own pizzas for lunch and decorated the birthday cake. It was so fun she is already talking about how she is going to have another "Cooking Birthday Party" next year. We go shopping and she will see something and say "Mom can I get that for my birthday when I turn six?" It's gonna be a while.

We took a two week session of swim lessons at Dive Utah when we were in Salt Lake. The kids loved it and learned a lot. I just think everyone looks great in goggles. That's a look that will never go out of style. Also there are a couple pics of the girls in Grandma Vics Jacuzzi tub. We are big fans of the tub in my family (as many of you know). I even had a bubble bath birthday party when I was young. We had an oddly huge and shallow jacuzzi tub in our old house.

We blessed Matthew on Sunday, March 26th, 2009. Tommy gave him a beautiful blessing and his name is officially Matthew Henderson Skidmore. The day went really well but I have to say it is very different to not have all the family around like we are used to for these kinds of events. I kind of thought, what if it is just Tommy and the bishop in the circle? but we had some good friends and our home teacher go up too so it was great.

Thanks to Grandpa Scott, Grandma Vic, Aunt Eliza, and Grandma Stormy for coming out to Cincinnati to help with the new baby. Also, thank you to all our friends, family and neighbors who have brought meals, watched my kids, run carpools and especially prayed for us. I don't know what we would do with out everyone's love and support. Thank You!

2009-02-20T10:09:00.000-08:00

He arrived right on his due date--Valentines Day! His name is Matthew Valentino Skidmore (j/k we haven't figured out a middle name yet, but that would be a pretty awesome one). He weighed in at 7lbs. 9oz. and is already up to 8lbs. as of this morning. The labor was extremely long so we are glad he is finally here safe and sound. It is so fun having a newborn again.
