I've gotten out of the routine of blogging! How sad is that?
I never got to commemorate Sis' b-d this past Monday. I'm going to post some picture of pictures.
Esther was born after 36 hours of labor, pushing for 2.5 hours and a 2nd degree episiotomy(sp?).
My dear friend Anna attended Ben and I. She held my right leg up the WHOLE time I was pushing and told me later that while I was pushing, the anaesthesiologist came barging into our room looking for his lost keys. (I don't remember this) And she quotes me as saying, after Es was laid on my chest, I could so do this again tomorrow. (I don't remember this either!)
Sis organizes her brothers into various games and activities. She's my one and only girl.....and the more girly, the more better! There's a part in one of my favorite movies when a bimbo (no other way to describe) who has a liberal amount of lipstick on says she needs to go to the ladies room to apply more. This describes Es......just not the bimbo part! She can be quite the queen of drama, but her sense of humor takes the bite from most of the drama. She's also quite sarcastic.....hum.....probably got that from Ben. Her favorite dinner is fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. I love that she loves to read her Bible to her brothers before bed. I love to hear her singing a worship song with all that's in her. There is nothing more humbling than a child that will remind the parent of God's or house rules! Yet she does so with graciousness and joy (at times:).
She is true to her name......God's bright star, His glory shining. Love you Sister Susie!

Emilie cries when she has to leave a play day with Esther. Grace will not stop talking about all the things she wants to tell and show Esther next time she sees her. Esther you are a great friend! We love you!
Thirty-six hours of labor? And you did it again?!?! Katy, you are amazing...
And an AWESOME babysitter. Boston loves to come over to play and takes a good nap after your house. Happy Birthday sweetheart!
She is so precious. It was great to see her yesterday (and the rest of you too, of course!). James was so shy about giving her a hug when she offered. He's crushing :) They're so cute!
