Father's Day

The girls were so excited that dad was going to be home for Father's day. Ellie made him lots of cards during the week. I am not sure of he ended up with any of the cards. Here is picture of Adam and his girls on Father's day.

Challis, Idaho

In June we went to Challis to check out the town. Adam has been working here since March. He keeps telling us how beautiful the area is. It was a ton of fun checking out the town that we may some day get to call home. Finding housing has been a problem. Here are a few of the pictures from our trip.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was eventful for us this year. We welcomed Adalyn Kate Petersen into the world that morning. Ellie was very excited to have another sister. Claire was not as excited. She glared at the baby and mom when she arrived at the hospital. Claire loves her sister now and can't get enough of her.
For those that would like some of the details they are below the pictures.

We arrived at the hospital at about 7am . They got me all settled in and checked my progress. I was a 4+. I remember thinking I have been awake since 3 am and I have gone from a 4 to a 4+. After another hour they checked me again and I was a 7. They called my doctor to let her know that she needed to get to the hospital. When she arrived she broke my water and it was time for a baby. Adalyn's heart rate kept dropping. Laurie found that the cord was wrapped around her neck and her body. So we had to get her out fast. By 8:30 am we had our little girl. This is the 2nd birth that I have done natural. My doctor said she kept forgetting that I was not on drugs because I was able to hold a conversation in between contractions.

A rare moment!

Claire really likes to color like her big sister. Most of the time Ellie takes the crayons and coloring book and colors where her little sister can't reach. The other day Ellie decided it was ok to color with her little sister.
