New Blog!

Having a newborn to care for is not the only reason for the lack of blog posts recently!  To make a long story short, I ran out of room to post pictures on the blog.  So, i started a new blog!  You can contine to follow us at our new blog: http://poelstrapartyof5.blogspot.com/

New Arrival!

On Tuesday, November 27 our newest family member, Olivia Constance, arrived!!  We were thrilled to welcome this healthy, sweet, peaceful baby to our family!  It's hard to believe that she is now a week old!

At birth she was 8 pounds and 2 ounces.  Her size was a bit of a surprise as the midwife who delivered her thought before she was born that she would be maybe 7 pounds! 

On Wednesday Faith and Shane came to the hospital to meet their new sister!  From the first moment they were each just as in love with her as Steve and I were!

The look on Shane's face just is priceless!  They continue to love on Olivia all the time and ask to hold her frequently.

Here Shane thought that little Olivia wanted to watch his favorite show on television with him!  He held her for the duration of the show, and he didn't seem to mind that she slept through the entire program!
