Birth Announcements

I am sending out birth announcements this week. If there is a chance I do not have your mailing address please email it to me. My email is lmhmarion@hotmail.com.

For Laura

Laura just sent a text telling us to post more pictures of Elsie Anne. Tonight Elsie turned six weeks. Here are some interesting number facts. Elsie is the 41st grandchild in the Marion family and 21st in the Hawkes family. Before Elsie's birth, there were 20 Marion grandsons and 20 Marion granddaughters. She also broke the tie of 10 Hawkes grandsons to 10 Hawkes granddaughters.

In these photos, Elsie is wearing her cute new hair bow from Aunt Diane and lying on her beautiful quilt from Grandma Hawkes. Elsie is smiling now on a more consistent basis. We really love her.

Sisters

First Day of School

The boys on their 75 yard walk to school.

"Who do you see in the coconut tree?" Lucas!!!

Lucas got this beautiful shiner while wrestling Isaac down the stairs yesterday.

Ariel was feeling a little left out this morning while the boys were packing their lunches into their backpacks. I had not even thought of making one for Ariel. Mistake. Isaac noticed and ran and grabbed Lucas' old backpack for her to wear to school. That meant a lot to her.

Ariel's friend Solenne on their way to the park. Solenne too lost a big brother/best friend to all day kindergarten today.
