Hey everyone, we've moved to a new site. We thought Samuel would start getting jealous if only Reagan had her own blog.
So, our new Sheets family blog is www.4threadcount.blogspot.com
There is a new post as of today!!

Happy Easter 2008

Happy Easter!
Here are some shots of the kids and our new family on a beautiful Easter Sunday.







Okay so I went crazy with the photo editing...but don't they look great!!
We hope you had a wonderful Easter and we hope you are celebrating salvation everyday because of the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
"BUT ON the first day of the week, at early dawn, [the women] went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had made ready. And they found the stone rolled back from the tomb,But when they went inside, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And while they were perplexed and wondering what to do about this, behold, two men in dazzling raiment suddenly stood beside them. And as [the women] were frightened and were bowing their faces to the ground, the men said to them, Why do you look for the living among [those who are] dead?
He is not here, but HE HAS RISEN!" Luke 24:1-6

which is which?...answers

I guess I should tell you which picture is which...you probably already figured it out, but just play along.
Reagan is the 2nd picture in both comparisons.
I have many more comparisons to bring you so check back soon!

SMILING!!

Samuel is smiling!! Not every time we try to get him to, but he does sometimes...Reagan can get him to smile more than we can! So cute!
Here are a few shots I caught:





Stinkin' cute!!! Only Reagan is equal in cuteness!!
(oh my goodness the amount of pictures I have to share...coming soon!)

Samuel James is here!

Samuel James was born Feb.6th at 12:28pm
7lbs 14oz 20 1/4in
Labor was an incredible answer to prayer.
We were admitted at about 8:30am, water broke at 11:48am, started pushing at 12:15pm and he was born at 12:28pm. God answered our (and your) prayers for sure!!
Samuel is doing wonderful (and is perfectly healthy!!!) and Esther is recovering really well.
We stayed one night and came home on Thursday evening.
Samuel cried a little after we got home and he woke Reagan up. She got really upset and was crying pretty hard so Brock brought her down to sit with us for a while. She sat with Esther and Samuel and layed her head on him, patted him, kissed him...she just needed to make sure he was okay. She has really taken to him which is another answer to prayer.
These first few days have gone fairly smooth, the first night home was a bit rocky including a 3am run to the store for formula (mamma's milk wasn't in yet and we had a very hungry baby), but other than that it has been really great. He is really a good baby!
We will update more later, just wanted everyone to know Samuel is here and our family is together at home. Here are a few pictures. (TONS more coming in a few days!)












Thank you all more than you know for praying for us. We were so blessed with God's mercy and favor in this process.
We're overwhelmed with gratitude to you all for praying and to our wonderful Father for our new son and wonderful family!

I'm getting ready to take care of our new baby as you can see I've been practicing with my babydoll, Ma-mo:

Two years ago today, we welcomed our beautiful Reagan Joy to our family. She had a rough start, but now is a wonderful, healthy two year old!
I can't believe she's two... What an incredible person she is growing into. We praise God for this life He has trusted us to raise to follow Him. She is nothing short of a gift and on her second birthday I'm struck with gratefulness for God's GREAT blessings in giving us Reagan.
I know she has touched all of you in so many ways too and I thank you for sharing in her life and ours!
Happy Birthday to our little girl!!
