Big Bird!

Hayden got to meet Big Bird at SeaWorld's new "Bay of Play" AKA Captain Kid's World/Shamu's Happy Harbor. Our friends invited us to the sneak peak and had a ton of fun! Hayden LOVED the costume characters and gave them all kisses. Here's hoping he won't be scared of Santa Clause this year!!!

meet Mr. Bear

This is Mr. Bear. He is Cristian's best friend. Cristian insists that Mr. Bear does EVERYTHING with him. They eat together, play together, have a "(s)nack" together, wear pajama's together, you name it, Mr. Bear does it.

Adriana Mae Hartpence

After a really long Monday we finally Welcomed

Adriana Mae Hartpence to the world. I think she was really happy where she was because she did not want to come out. The Nurse seemed to be pushing for a C section after about 11 hours, but fortuantly for us DR STEELE was patient and let Christine endure a little longer. She was born at 10:10pm on May 12th 2008 and weighed

6lbs 14oz. (That was my guess!!!) She is so little compared to our other 2 births and she is SO CUTE!!! (says Alena)

Dean shows his fist in excitement exclaiming YES to having a baby sister
Alena is a Great big sister and will really be a Wonderful help around the house.

Look She is holding Adriana all by herself!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

love,

Alena, Dean, Cristian, Hayden and Baby
