Sadie Lee Ashton

We are so excited to welcome Sadie Lee Ashton to our family.

Born April 22, 2008 2:25 PM
8 lbs, 1 oz
22 1/2 inches long


She was born just yesterday, April 22, 2008 at 2:25 PM. Ben and I were both surprised to learn she was a girl. Even though we decided not to find out the gender through ultrasound we both kind of thought it was a boy. But, we are thrilled to have another little girl. Both Conner and Kate are in love with her- especially Conner. They came to the hospital last night to meet their little sister and couldn't get enough of her. Then, Ben brought them back to the hospital again this morning. Conner was so excited to see Sadie again that he got himself all dressed, then he even combed Kate's hair so they could leave sooner. Since Ben's sister Zina has been living with us and she was the one to take the kids to the hospital yesterday, the kids' booster seats were in her car. Conner even got the keys to her car, got their seats out of her car and re-installed them in our car. He just needed to get to the hospital as fast as possible to see his new little sister again. Once there, he couldn't wipe the smile off his face. What a sweetie!













We came home from the hospital this afternoon and we are all doing well. I promise to write more soon... In the meantime, check out these fun video clips of our little sweetheart!

Congratulations! Another Beautiful Ashton child! (What else would you expect with such a beautiful mother!!!) I'm so thrilled (and a little jellous... that girl thing just seems to not be part of my world.) I'm glad you are all doing well. Give them all a hug and kiss for me!
