Family of Four

On Thursday, July 14th our family welcomed its newest member. William Barrett Sexton was born at 7:28 am weighing in at 9 lbs 3 ounces and measuring 21.5 inches long. We are so thrilled to be a family of four! Caroline is so excited to be a big sister. She has held William several times, and seems to love being around him. William is lucky to have such a wonderful sister to go through life with. We are so blessed to have two wonderful children. Here are some of my favorite pictures from William's birth day.

Fourth of July

We had a great Fourth of July weekend with Caroline. We took her to the Zoo, Science Museum and two different firework displays. We are trying to squeeze in as many fun things before baby brother arrives. The Fourth was a great day. We went to my mom's for a wonderful dinner and then went to see the Edmond fireworks. Caroline stayed up a little (ok - a lot) past bedtime, but she loved all of the beautiful fireworks. It was a great weekend.

Baby Shower

My sweet neighbors had a wonderful shower for me a few weeks ago. Here are a few pictures. Baby William received lots of adorable gifts. He is well set. We are looking forward to his arrival!

Easter and Mother's Day

We have been very busy this Spring. We had a great Easter celebration with our neighbors. We have the best neighbors. They aren't just neighbors, but they are wonderful friends as well. Roberta and Cheryl hosted an amazing Easter Egg Hunt and pot-luck lunch at their house. The kids had a wonderful time hunting for all that candy! Caroline and I flew to St Simons with Max and B for Easter. We missed Daddy so much, but had a great time with Mimi and Papa. The Easter Bunny came to see us, and left Caroline a wonderful basket full of goodies. It was wonderful weather at the beach. It was the last trip to St. Simons without William! The latest adventure was a visit to the Edmond Arts Festival for Mother's Day. We all had a great time enjoying the Festival food and activities. Caroline had a blast having her face painted, sliding on an inflatable slide, and riding on a pony named Midnight. It was a great family night! In fact it was one of the most special nights of my life. Seeing the joy on my child's face was priceless. The carefree joy of a child is magical. This night was magical for Caroline and me. It was the perfect way to spend Mother's Day.

Fun at the Tiger Safari

Max and Caroline had a great time at the Oklahoma Tiger Safari this week. They got to pet all kinds of animals. They even had the chance to feed a tiger and ride on a turtle. They loved it!
