Baby Ryan has arrived!

We are proud to announce that our little boy, Ryan Holcombe, arrived on Monday, November 26th at 12:14 p.m. He was 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. The delivery, which was via c-section, couldn't have gone better. I was smiling and chatting with the doctors during it -- quite a change from our last experience!

Ryan is such a sweet little guy! (Unless he's hungry or having his diaper changed, of course!) Annalise adores her little brother, but is definitely having trouble adjusting to "sharing" her mommy. Hopefully it will be smooth sailing around here before too long! :)

Here are some photos of our new family of four!

Family Fun Day - Bowling!

Today is our last Friday as a family of three! We took Annalise bowling for the first time and she loved it! A couple of times she insisted on doing it herself without our help. She did pretty well, but she made the mistake that all bowlers have made - she crossed the line and wiped out (a few times). And luckily I caught it on video! Enjoy the clip below -- and even with the fall, she got 7 pins on that turn! We had a lot of fun, and Annalise didn't even mind getting some gutter balls (which happened even with bumpers) OR the times her ball just stalled before even reaching any pins at all! She'd just say "Oops!" Haha...

Trick or Treat!

Annalise had a blast on Halloween! She's been very excited about being a kitty cat. She dressed up at school and again that evening when we went trick-or-treating with her cousins, Lindsay & Caitlin. She had a great time!

My mom joined us, as is the tradition, and she and Caitlin were both dressed as witches. Lindsay was a cheerleader. They all looked so cute!

We're now doing the daily candy battle, as Annalise wants to hit the candy bucket every morning when she wakes up. Oh well, it was a fun day!
