Welcome Baby Bennet!

We are proud to announce the arrival of  our beautiful baby boy, Bennet Jamison Ronin!  He came into the world on January 11, 2011 at 2:28 pm.  We had a scheduled c-section and everything went well, and he was born a healthy boy weighing 7 lb. 8 oz. and was 19 inches long.  He’s such a sweet little baby and resembled his big brother a lot when he was born.  Bennet’s been home for three days and so far, has been a very good baby.  Hayden has been a great big brother as well and has been quite spoiled by everyone with all of his big brother gifts.  He absolutely loves his visitors and definitely enjoys his time with Nana, Papa, Gigi and Uncle Bryan. We’re very blessed and so excited to now be a family of four.  Thank you all for the great presents, calls and cards.

Last Outing as Three!

Baby #2 is almost here and we really can’t believe it.  The pregnancy has gone by so fast, and we’re so close to meeting our new little guy.   We’ve been busy getting all of our baby stuff ready, and at this point, are finally good to go.  Overall, I thought that the pregnancy was great, except I would say that the last month – and I think most women would agree – is definitely the most challenging.  I’m almost 39 weeks and am starting to feel  huge.  But, we only have two more days left until his arrival, and we really couldn’t be more excited.  Thursday was my last check-up at the doctor and all is well and he’s right on target.  I think that with this baby, we aren’t quite as nervous as we were with Hayden.  Knowing what to expect has been nice, especially when you look back and see how fast your first newborn grew.  We went out to dinner tonight at one of our favorite restaurants to celebrate our last outing together as a family of three (thanks again Mike, Julie, and Brady for the gift certificate!).  Hayden was an excellent boy and it was fun to think about all of the excitement this next week will bring.  :) 

Christmas Card Pics

Had a couple of requests to put these pictures on the blog.  These are the two pics we used for our Christmas card this year.

Winter Wonderland

Lots of layers and lots of fun in our winter wonderland.  What a fun surprise to wake up to the day after Christmas.  And even better that it’ll all be melted by the end of the week!  :)

Christmas 2010!

We had an awesome Christmas this year and everyone was quite spoiled by Santa.  Nana and Papa came down the week before and Hayden had a blast hanging out with everyone.  They brought up the movie The Polar Express and to say the least, Hayden is definitely obsessed.  There was not a day during the break that he didn’t watch the “choo choo” movie at least two or more times throughout the day.  It was a great week and we did all of the traditional things that make Christmas special.  It was so neat to watch Hayden’s face on Christmas morning when he came downstairs and saw what Santa brought.  :)  We are very blessed.  We hope everyone had a great holiday and thank you for all of the great presents and cards!
