2 week check-up

Mason went to the doctor this morning for his 2 week check-up. Dr. Heaven said he looks perfect! Not that I expected anything different! He weighs 8 lbs 4 oz - a gain of 8 oz in one week! He is eating very well and sleeping well too! What a blessing!

Here's a picture from yesterday

We went to Build-A-Bear tonight so Tatum could make a bear for Mason. (Mike and I did this for Tatum when he was born and it's still his favorite bear.) I snapped a couple shots of Tatum as he was very excited about giving Mason his first Build-A-Bear.

Taking Charge

Tatum loves the stroller! He decided he is the official stroller driver. I was holding on to the side to try to 'help' him and he let me know he had it under control. He is such a good brother!


Sorry the picture is blurry - it's the best I could do while walking and trying to keep up with the boys!

When we got home from the doctor's office, Tatum was home from school and was impressed by his little brother sleeping in the car seat.


Tatum was being a good helper and rocked Mason.

Mason's 1st doctor appointment

Mason went to the doctor yesterday (Wednesday) for his 1st visit. He gained 3 oz since we left the hospital and Dr. Heaven said everything was looking good!

Boy Bonding

On Sunday, Tatum wanted to show Mason his favorite video games that he plays with Mike.

We are officially 4 Mowens

Mason Louis was born on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 1:19 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 14 ozs and was 20 inches.

He is such a blessing to us and are grateful to have him in our family!

Here are the pictures from his first 2 days at the hospital.

Indiana Tatum

Tatum is playing the lego Indiana Jones' Wii game and thought the
binoculars would help him. He is also wearing a pillow on his back
just in case he falls while playing. I don't know where he comes up
with this stuff!

On the way to school this morning, Tatum said "We are having a baby
and I'm in 1st grade. How special!"

A great day at the Braves game!

Welcome Ava Wesleigh

I am thrilled to announce the birth of Ava Wesleigh Gladstone!!! I talked to Garrett this afternoon soon after Ava's arrival and he said she and Caroline were doing great!

I will post some more pictures as soon as I have them!

He asked....and she said "YES!"

On Saturday, we got some exciting news in our family! Rob asked Megan (Michael's sister) to marry him!!!



Michael's parents were down in West Palm Beach visiting when he asked. What a special experience for them all.

We are all excited to offically welcome Rob to the family!

Tatum's 6th Birthday

6th Birthday

Tatum's birthday was a couple weeks ago and I'm just now posting some of the pictures. We all had a great time bowling and 2 of his buddies spent the night.

He is growing up so fast and I'm so thankful to have such an amazing young man. Everyday he teaches me new lessons and makes me aspire to be a better person. God truly blessed us with him! Five years old was a great year of learning, fun and adventure. I'm excited to see what six years old brings us!

Reading Celebration

Here's the video of Tatum's Reading Celebration. We all had a great time!

Can you tell he's excited about his birthday?!?

And there's still a month to go!
