Brielle Rachel Fish

Brielle Rachel Fish was born at 5:05 pm on March 23. Janalee and Brielle are both doing very well and enjoying each other company. Kallyn and Allison are both excited to be big sisters. I'm not sure who she looks like, she changes dramatically from hour to hour. To me she looks like a wrinkly old man (I'll edit this posting and delete this sentence when she's a teenager and wants to read old blog postings). In a few days, I'm sure she'll look like the girl she'll eventually become, so I'll hold off m y real opinion until then. She'll be luckiest if she looks like mom, I wouldn't wish looking like dad on anyone. Sorry Allison, you're out of luck! Tons more pics to come, but for the time being, here are a few to check out. We took most of these right after the nurse gooped up her eyes, so we don't have a good smiles yet.
Sweet little Allison is so excited to be a big sister. She kept saying over and over again "I'm a big sister now, Brielle is my little sister!"

Kallyn came to hospital to watch little Brielle's birth. I think she will always have a special appreciation for little Brielle!


I don't think she looks anything like me, good for her!



Yep, she looks like a wrinkled old man!
More to come...

Home Depot Kids Workshops

We haven't done this yet, but we've had so much fun doing the Lowes Build and Grow Clinics and we heard that Home Depot did the same thing. As far as I know they both do these fun kids projects at all stores nation wide.

2 MORE WEEKS!


We are getting so excited! We toured the hospital yesterday and the girls have finally shown a little excitement at the thought of getting a new little sister really soon. They've been counting down the days till my "Phoenix" family gets here, but now they ask if today is the day their sister will get here! So sweet!

Lowes Build and Grow Clinic - Valentines Day Jewelry Boxes



Lowes Build and Grow clinic link

Lowes has this awesome free clinic twice a month where your kids get to build a project. February was a heart jewelry box and a race car. The girls had so much fun hammering away and building their boxes we had to go to the next one and make a race car, too. So cute! They are adorable in their little aprons and safety goggles (which are free with the kits). You also get little badges to sew onto your aprons. There were a few kids with colorful circles all over their aprons. I think we are well on our way to getting there, too.
