We were dying laughing at him - he walked around like this for several minutes!!!

Welcome to the world Thorin Tate!!
Oh how exciting it is to be writing this!!!!
Our second son was born to us at 12:26 am on Thursday the 12th! Everything went smoothly with his arrival once he finally decided to come! He was 13 days early according to the ultrasound and it seems that he was quite unsure whether or not he was actually ready to come when he did. I started having regular contractions on Tuesday night and they waxed and waned for about 26 1/2 hours before he actually made his appearance. Thankfully the pain didn't kick in until the last 4 1/2 hours.
A glad dad!! : )
He weighed in at a tiny 6 lb 12 oz!!! And is 20 1/2 inches long.
My mom was there for the birth...
...as was my sister, Jenna - such precious moments!!!
We were home by about 3 am and actually got a couple hours of sleep in before the night was completely over : )
It has been such a blessing to watch Sterling with Thorin!!! He gets such a kick out of him!
Uncle Ryan and Aunt Shannon.
Uncle Logan.
Thank you Jesus for our precious boy!!!

Sterling's b-day party!
Oh what a blessed day this was!!!! Thank you to all who showered our family with love(including all of you who were not physically able to be there)!!!
It was a beautiful day! I managed to keep it pretty simple (only made 2 dishes) but it turned into a nice spread with a few others who brought stuff!! A big thanks to Tito Dennis for the amazing Adobo and yummy ice cream cake, and to Dona for the home made chocolate/coffee cake that was to die for - both were huge hits!!! As simple as it was I was still runnin' most of the time as 52 some odd people came through that afternoon - wow, we were blown away and like I already said, felt very blessed by all the wonderful family and friends in our lives!! I'm so glad we did it and it made an awesome first big memory in our new place!!
Unfortunately we didn't get many pictures from the day : /. I tried to load a few more than this but it wouldn't let me so I'll get this posted and try again later.
Pip and Tito (Tagalog for Uncle) Dennis with Alexia!
Shanny and Logan - too bad all you can see is the back of Sterling's head
Grandma and the kiddos!

Merry Christmas!!!
Our first big snow of the year...it was beautiful - huge fluffy flakes - but way too warm to stick!
Sterling enjoyed watching it fall - I always wonder what goes through his mind : )
Some Christmas pictures we didn't use on our card...
I know this is a bit late but the last month has just flown by and we have been really busy!! As I'm sure all of you have been!! We had a wonderful Christmas! Very low key this year! I hope to have more pictures to add later but unfortunately they are on Tim's computer.
