Hey everyone! Well our St. Louis trip is off to a great start. We are having a lot of fun bee-bopping around town with everyone. So far we have even crossed off several of the things on our bucket list: we’ve gone to the Magic House (such a cool place and LOVED the new wing), to the Butterfly House…though, we didn’t go in-so I guess we just went to Faust Park. We have gone to Texas Roadhouse, Cracker Barrell and First Watch.

This week we plan to hit the zoo, hopefully on Thursday. If you are in St. Louis and don’t have plans, come and join us! I think we’ll do a girls play date with the kiddos on Wednesday afternoon for all you ladies.

The kids were perfect angels on the way here-we even had people come up to us and compliment us on how great they were the whole way here once we got to St. Louis. I guess it helps when you don’t have to wait around in the airport for 8 hours! HA!

More updates as time allows-it was great seeing everyone on Sunday at EFREE!

We are home! I’m currently uploading pictures on our flickr site. I don’t think I’ll be describing all 100+ of them tonight though! But click on over there for some video and some pictures. (I promise it’s all G-rated.) I’ll tell the story soon, but for now, here’s just the quick info on little Chase.

Our sweet Chase

I went into labor at midnight on Tuesday, February 3. By 5:15 am, I had a successful VBAC and a BEAUTIFUL baby boy. Chase Evan was 20 and 1/4 inches long, weighed 7 lbs, 9oz and had a full head of dark hair. I went totally natural and I feel like super woman! (This is where I imagine myself with a cape flowing in the wind and music playing behind me as I stand with my hands on my hips.)

He he he he he…we are home now, which is really nice. I’m going to go enjoy my little family now for a bit and I’ll try and get the big story up soon!  Thanks for all your phone calls and encouraging messages! I love you guys! And special thanks to Crystal and my hubbie-you guys got me through it all!
