Joel Philip Howerton

Only appropriate to make my first post after my "summer break" about Joel, our newest Howerton!! And what better way to tell a story than thr pictures?!

Just before bed on April 28th...our last day with just one sweet boy...
Grandma Judy (Jon's mom)was already at our house to stay with Jude so we could head to BAYLOR the next morning. :)


What better morning to have a baby?! Prince William and Kate's Royal wedding was on TV!! I walked in the doors of Baylor at 5:00am and the nurses already had it on my room TV. :)


A quick picture in between contractions ;-) We knew baby Joel was coming soon!


And...10:47am on April 29th, Joel Philip Howerton was born!! Perfect in EVERY way!!


Weight: 6 lbs, 6 ounces
Height: 19 3/4" long

Pictures from the hospital...

Summer Slacker!

Okay, so I've taken a couple months off from blogging...BUT I definitely have the best excuses: my 3 sweet J's!! We are now a family of 4!! Joel Philip Howerton was born April 29th! I'm so blessed to be able to have the summer off (maternity leave) to spend with my little angels! It's been amazing so far and there's still a month to go (and a Hawaii trip) before I return to work! I know I'm using a ton of exclamation points but it's becacuse I'm just so darn excited about life these days!! :) Every day I think it can't get better...and then it does! :)


Dear God....Thank you for a house full of people I LOVE!! Amen.
