Since Moira is 2 months old now, I figure I should probably update my blog.=) Our little girl came to us on September 28, 2009. I hadn't been progressing that much throughout the month so my doctor scheduled me for a C-section on Sept. 29, which was my due date. Luckily, my body decided to get going and I went into labor on Sunday night (the 27th). We left Price around 1 o'clock Monday morning and got the the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray (where I was delivering) around 3 o'clock. Alec thought the whole thing was a great adventure-getting to go on a car ride in the middle of the night and hang out at a hospital for a little while. Jared's mom and sister Hillary came and got Alec and took him to their house. I was a little emotional as I told Alec good-bye. I knew the next time I saw him we'd have a new baby and he wouldn't be my only little one anymore. Things progressed quite well and at 12:22 p.m. Moira Lyn was born. She was 7 lbs. 3 oz and 21 in. long. The moment I saw her, tears came to my eyes. I was so happy she was here and all was well. The whole experience was amazing. I am so grateful for Jared. He was so supportive and loving through the whole thing. He didn't even mind when I would hold his hand so tight it turned purple.=) He's such a great man. And while the experience was different in a lot of ways from when I had Alec, the intense feelings of love and wonder were the same. Bringing these spirits to our home has been some of the greatest moments of my life.
Getting ready.=)

Alec was a little hesitant to look at Moira at first but he warmed up pretty quickly. He loves his 'baby sister'. You ask him her name and he says 'Mora'. He has to make sure that we don't leave her behind when we get in the car to go places. He always asks "Baby sister come too?" It's been crazy but fun getting used to two kids. I'm getting better at balancing some things.=)
We had a fun Halloween. We went to Jared's parents' house and had a great time.

Jared celebrated his 31st birthday on Nov. 2. We had a party for him at his parents' house.
Opening his cook book he's been wanting.
Jared's Perry the Platypus cake.=)
We blessed Moira on Nov. 8th. Our nephew Brennan was being baptized on the 7th so we thought that we should have the occasions on the same weekend for family convenience. It was a great day. It's awesome for me to see Jared performing these ordinances for our children.

Cute Kids
Alec celebrated his 3rd birthday on Nov. 20. I can't believe that he's 3. It doesn't seem that long ago that he was just a little baby. He got a lot of dinosaur things which he absolutely loved.
His fun sign Dad and Mom made for him. Dad did the drawing. Obviously.=)
His fun dinosaur stamps from Aunt Hillary.
Showing Dad his Triceratops that makes noise from Aunt Kim and Uncle Andre.
His awesome cake that Dad made.
Whew. That was a chore.=) It's been an awesome few months. We are looking forward to the coming Christmas Season. We've been so blessed this year.
