We are getting in the groove of having three boys. Nanny came up from Oklahoma for a week and helped. Our biggest challenge is keeping two year old Nathanael entertained. Josiah has been a big help and is doing a great job at being big brother to both Nathanael and Luke.

Luke Leaps Into The World

Luke Jameson Ritchie was born February 29 at 2:14 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs. and was 19 1/2 inches long. He has been greeted lovingly (thus far) by his proud older brothers Josiah and Nathanael. More pics to come . . . !

Here is Karen at 8 1/2 months. We are expecting little Luke to arrive anytime, so we'll keep you posted when he does. Luke's due date is March 3, but Josiah and Nathanael were each one week early.

Our New Home In The Winter

We had a nice snow a few weeks ago as the boys got to stay home and play in the snow. We have a hill just West of the house that is great for sledding down.

We are almost 100% done on the house. There are still some boxes to unload, but it is finally looking like a home.

Boys, Boys!

SWEET boys!

Beautiful gingerbread houses made by the Illinois cousins . . .Josiah, Nathanael and Jackson! Of course, the best part was sneaking candy throughout the whole project.
