• Life’s moving fast!! My third born, Julie, will be a teenager in 7 days!  So I thought I’d take this time to share some pictures of her over the next few days!!

  As with my other girls, Julie couldn’t wait to make her appearance.  She was born 2 1/2 weeks early — which was pretty good – Elizabeth was 4 1/2 weeks early and Valerie was 3 1/2 weeks early — so at least we were moving in the right direction.

  She was born in the afternoon (I think around 2pm) — my water broke in the middle of the night with her – it was a slow labor, but not difficult.
  
  
  Big sisters come to visit at the hospital.

  Julie didn’t have name for a few days.  We really thought she was a boy, so we had the name William Andrew picked out.  No girl name, so she wasn’t named until we right before we left the hospital.  Steve picked her name and I immediately loved it.  Still we were stuck on a middle name.  I had considered Julianna for a first name, and then we thought of Julie Hannah.  It fit!!
  
  
  Julie was a VERY happy baby.  People used to stop me in the store all the time – she smiled at everyone!!

  

  Getting too big for sister to hold!!

  Around 4 months old when Julie started to take a bit of apple juice, Elizabeth nicked named her Jucy Girl — and that just stuck.  We call her Juce, Jucy, Juls — and Julie Ulie!

  Baby sister, Gracie is born.

  Julie was not thrilled with baby Grace at first she wanted NOTHING to do with her.  After a few days she warmed up to her.

  

  Here we are at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego.
  

  
  

  Well that’s all for now… more to come!
