Great Times!

Been a while

Hi,

It's been a while, but I thought it would be great to put some pictures up. It has been so wonderful to watch Mylah grow and experience new things and she's smiling now! I feel extremely blessed to have so much time with Kelly, Mylah, and the boys. Mylah is such a peaceful baby. Without further ado, here's some pictures.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!
Well it's Mylah's first Easter and I don't know if she's really into waking up at 6:30 to go on an easter egg hunt. Her brothers defintely were, though. However, the plastic eggs are quite interesting, and her dress is very beautiful! The boys have been enjoying their Easter dart board, listening to the built in electronic trash talk setting and learning new dart games. What are we getting ourselves into?

Grandma Linda was here for a week and made it home in time to celebrate Great Grandma Carol's 83rd birthday WOW! It was wonderful having her here with us. It is such a beautiful thing to see grandmothers holding grandaughters. Oh yeah, the boys loved having grandma here too! They taught her some new games and played some old ones as well.

Zy had his first soccer game yesterday and scored six goals! We have a little Pele on our hands now, though he's # 6. It was fun to watch and "coach" those kids. Fisher started soccer last week with the little metros and will have his first game next week. We can't wait to watch that one. This time I won't be coaching, just cheering!

Zyan also recieved a special award at school last week! He was awarded the certificate for Respect! Yeah Zyan!

This is a Mylah blog, so I guess we should talk about her a bit. She is growing so fast. She's a 9 pounder now! She is becoming so alert and she holds her head up very well and looks around. There jsut happens to be a lot of noises around her. Interesting. She still has very blue eyes, and may actually keep them. A heart breaker in the making. She'll be four weeks old on Wed., we can't believe it's already been a month! WOW.

Happy Easter!

Love to all!

Tim and Kelly

Look how big I am!

Grandma Linda is here now and the boys are ecstatic! It is such a help having an extra set of hands here. Not to mention how beautiful it is to see the love between a grandmother and her granddaughter. Well Mylah is becoming so alert these days and she still enjoys being held by her big brothers. I don't think this will change anytime soon. We have had a lot of visiters coming to see us, I wonder when this girl will get put down for more than an hour! It is really awesome. Mylah got to hang with some girls finally when McKenzy and Delaney stopped by. I'm including some pictures of Mylah showing us how big she is! Enjoy.

Ok, did you guess right

The first picture below is Fisher and the 3rd down is Zy. All the rest have Mylah in them.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

Hi again,

I want to begin by emphasizing how wonderful it is to live in this community. The generosity is amazing. As the old saying goes, "It takes a village to raise a child." Well our "village" has come through generously. Thank you to all our friends who have so graciously brought dinner to us and for those who have signed up to do so. It has been such a blessing and relief to have this done for us! The more time we have to bond with Mylah the better and all of you are giving us that time! Also, the bonus for you (and us) is that now we are hoarding your dishes to make all of you come back and visit Mylah again and hold the little sweetie (while of coarse providing loads of praise to the new big brothers!). Don't worry, no diaper changing.

Mylah changes a bit everyday. It is remarkable to watch. Also, for a little quiz or just for fun I am going to post some pictures of the boys as babies to compare. She has features similar to both the boys, but is all little girl! I'm sure the boys will try and get some snakes, snails and even some puppy dog tails for her to play with. But with all the sugar, spice, and everything nice she'll be a momma's girl for sure.

Thanks again to Granny Jo and Grandpa Mike for coming up and being such a help that first week. And we are looking forward to seeing Grandma Linda tomorrow!!! The boys are so excited (and so are we) to show off Mylah.

Thanks again everyone! We love you!

Tim

Two Nice Days

Hi all,
We have had two beautiful days up here in Oregon. Kelly and I took Mylah for her first long walk on the river bike path. We put in a good four miles and ventured into areas of Eugene that I hadn't ever been to. I finally crossed the Owosso (sp?) Bridge. We live in such a great place that you can find new and great places to visit everyday.
Mylah has been such a doll! She sleeps great day or night and has such a calm and mellow demeanor. Zy has been a little feisty lately, but that is countered with many play dates and his first sleepover since the birth. Fish has been such a great baby holder. I think I may give him a diaper to change soon. If it is nice tomorrow, we may take Mylah and the boys to the top of the Butte! That's it for now.

She's Here!

Well this is our first Blog! Mylah's been here just over a week and she (and Kelly) couldn't be doing better. WE will try and provide pictures and some accounts of our life with three children now.

To update those who haven't heard. Mylah Rose McCabe was born at 11:05 PM on Wed. March 18. She was 8lbs 7oz and 21 inches long (measured the next day). She was born into this world in a peaceful water birth at home. It was very beautiful.

The best part of all this is to see her big brothers hold her and love her. I am sure she will be well protected! Without further ado, here's some pictures!

Love to all,

Tim and Kelly
