Torsten Joshua

Can't believe its already been a week since we welcomed a new baby into our lives but its true! Torsten Joshua was born a week ago today on April 14, 2013 at 3:25 p.m. Weighing in at 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 1/8 inches long. He is our biggest baby by an ounce. Gretta was 8 lbs 10 oz. He lost some weight over the week, which is normal and compared to the girls he sure seems tiny! We've been adjusting well, some sleep deprivation of course, but all in all not too bad. The girls are loving their little brother and have been doing really well with a new distraction in the house. Here is a little picture overload....with many more to come when time allows!

Here are finally a few pictures of the girls' finished room. We painted and put up some pictures to make it more their room and not just Gretta's room.

Little sprinkler fun!

And someone turned 5 last week! Shrimp and dumplings were her choice for dinner! You'd think she was older because she did not want attention on her special day. She cried when we sang Happy Birthday and didn't really want any pictures taken....we'll try another day I guess!

She WAS happy though as long as no one mentioned it was her birthday! Bike streamers and "walkie talkers" were 2 things she had wanted for the big 5 years.

I will try to capture this one again, I really just wanted a nice picture of the 3 of us, maybe we'll just try after baby comes out so it really is the 3 of us? We also went to the zoo with a friend of hers from school and should have done some pictures of us all there, but we forgot. Dang pregnancy brain! It was a good time though!

Happy Birthday to our firstborn Gretta! Can't believe we've been blessed with you for 5 whole years!!! We love you SO much!
