Summer Come and Gone

This summer went by in a flash as usual.  It was another Apx summer.  However, this year we were in Naperville, IL...not too far from our temporary home in DeKalb 

while Adam is finishing up his Masters Degree at NIU.  

Kaleb and Savannah both made lots of new friends this summer.  Kaleb loved playing with his buddies Brigham, Lucas and Jaden.  Savannah spent alot of time with her friends Riley and Ann.  We even did a couple of sleep-overs!  Such Fun!  =) 

 

Probably the best part of our summer was that we got to share it with Brandon, Audrey and Cele'.  Adam's brother Brandon came to work with Apx this summer.  They made the trek all the way from Arizona!  I don't know what I would have done without Audrey!  She was there for me all summer long through being extremely pregnant, having the baby, and trying to adjust to having 3 kids.  Honestly...I don't know what I would have done without her.

 Cousins are special friends...=)

Growing...Growing...So big!

Here's Mason coming up on 4 months.  It's gone by so fast!

The Babe is Born

Mason Reeves Hancock was born on May 29th, 2008. He was a healthy 8 lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long! Our biggest baby yet. =) We're pretty sure his eyes are going to stay blue and the little bit of hair that he has...well, we'll call it light brown. So far he's a good sleeper, a good eater and his sister and brother just ADORE him!  (Sorry guys...He just didn't look like a Ryan or an Ashton! =) Mason gave me a couple of false labor's...which my other 2 didn't.  We were wondering if he was ever going to come out to meet his family!  Finally 3 days after his due date we went to the hospital, pumped the pitossin (sp?) and about 10 hours later he was born!  =)  When Savannah and Kaleb came to the hospital I remember feeling overwhelmed with joy (and maybe a little anxiety) that our family had officially grown!  We're so proud of our little family.
