My Dad is the Coolest...seriously.
My Dad 1988 ready to complete mission.
So, my father is a retired AF pilot. He flew several different aircraft during his career- including the U2 spyplane, aka the Lady Dragon (b/c it was so difficult to fly & land). While completinga 3 yr assignment in England, I remember one afternoon walking home from school with my Dad and attempting to explain my utter amazment that he was actually getting PAID to fly airplanes! I just thought, how cool that was b/c it must be so exciting and down right fun to fly a plane- and getting paid for it was just this wonderful bonus to the experience:)
Anyway, he would come home with different parts of his flight suit- his helmet and gloves are what I remember specifically (and one other item that was a mystery to us at the time- my dear sisters would remember that, ha!).
This video was recently discovered of a real U2 flight. It reafirmed my "My Dad is the coolest" mentality! You have GOT to watch it. The only difference is usually there is only one cockpit- the one in the video must be a trainer plane. Seriously, watch it-here is:

Adorable:
Amidst our illness, Adelle gave me the best conversation yet! It was just adorable how hard she was trying to verbally mimic my words. While she was talking her eyes started to water and her skin turned blotchy- that much effort was being put forth. She was trying SO hard. It definately brightened my day.

Life with Three!
So life with three is interesting and very tiring! Though there have been some pricless moments- proven with the below pictures. i love these pictures! The kids adore Adelle and these capture the tenderness of these moments. 
Lowes has a fun free project for kids every other Saturday( nationwide) and Shane took the kids to enjoy creating this fun pirate ship.
Some sibling love:)

4 days old
Our little Adelle is ADORABLE, if I do say so myself:) These are some pictures of her 4 days old. She is now 8 days old and we are finally feeling like things are beginning to become somewhat routine (though I'm sure everything will continue to change). Adjusting to three is definately challenging, but we are making it through. 
I love those little feet!
Wide eyed and alert.
This is just to show how small she is- that is my fat foot. She is so small, her body- head to bottom- is barely longer than the length of my foot (approx. size 9).
Sleeping soundly in her new bouncer. So sweet.

Little Adelle is here...
Just arrived home after 24 hours in the hospital.
Adelle was born June 10th at 10:24am weighing 6.0lbs, 19 inches long.
She is really sweet and her big sister and brother are enjoying her, as are her Mommy, Daddy, and Grandmas and Aunties. I am very tired and sore and hopefully will be able to rest more now that I'm home (hardly slept in the hospital at all). I'm off for a nap while the kids do the same!
