Meet Jack Walker Sturdivant

Jack arrived at 8:00 am on Wednesday, November 5, 2008. He was 19 1/2 inches long and weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. Yes, you heard me right. 7 lbs. 11 oz. I call him the runt of the litter. We were expecting a 9 pounder. I told them to weigh him again because there was no way I had a 7 lb. baby!!! But I did and he is absolutely perfect! He reminded me of Ben right away. You can barely see his eyebrows and eyelashes. He raises his forehead just like Ben used to do. He has more hair than Ben but less than Sam. It is darker than Ben's but lighter than Sam's. He looks at us like Sam used to do-with one eye open and one eye closed. Some of you might remember our little one-eye Samurai!! We think he will probably be his own person with a little bit of both brothers in him. He is already developing a personality-how quickly they do that!!! He zerberts me a lot!! He is so precious. We can't wait for you all to meet him in person.

He's Finally Here!!!

Can you tell how happy we are?! Our family is complete. We are so blessed and fulfilled by this wonderful addition God chose for our family. Ben is very helpful with Jack. He feels a little awkward talking to him. But does anything he needs-especially giving him his paci on van rides. Sam, on the otherhand, talks to him all the time! We had told him one of his jobs as a big brother was to teach his little brother about everything like his big brother Ben did for him. He and Ben both are taking their roles as Big Brother very seriously. We are so proud of them and the way they have adjusted to Jack being a part of our FIVE family.

Happy Halloween!!!

Ghosts, goblins, and ghouls, OH MY!!! Well, not in the Sturdivant household!! It's more like Spiderman, Ninjas, and nerds. Just in case you are wondering who the masked men are, let me help you...Spiderman is Sam, the ninja is Ben, and the nerd is our Soaring Wings Foster child. They had so much fun together. We made a quick stop for treats at Meme's then headed out to Nathan's costume birthday party at Oma's. Just a night of fun with family-not too many tricks for us.

Look Out Farve!! There's a New Quarterback in Town!

Ben played his first season of flag football!! He was the Giants starting quarterback. He was awesome!!!!! Dad helped coached his team. It was a great time for them to be together and bond. Dad was very pleased with how well he did! Although the Giants didn't have a winning season (1-7) they all had fun and learned a lot. We are proud of Ben for giving it a try. He is already looking forward to next season.

Happy Birthday Ben!!!

Can you believe my baby is already 8?!? It seems like he was just toddeling around the house asking for "cluck, cluck and cha chas". For those of you who do not remember Benji talk that is chicken nuggets and french fries!!! Ben (we are much too old for Benji!) is such a great kid. He is smart, funny, and just great all around. We are so proud of him. We hope that his 8th year of life is his best yet!!!! (September 27-I'm a little behind on posting!)
