WHOA BABY!!! We are a family of 4!!

So needless to say I thought I was busy with a 2 year old....man oh man....busy just took on a WHOLE new meaning for me. Hence the late post announcing the arrival of our new little pumpkin to the Johnson patch...Taylor Rose. I am IN LOVE. I can't tell you enough how having a little baby can never get old. Just knowing you grew this little person and then holding her for the first time and feeling that INSTANT unconditional POWERFUL LOVE...will never get old. The c-sections and pain can though. Which is why most of us stop. (C-section numero 2....awful)

I have tons to get too...but I had to get this post up real quick so I can share the love with you all. You never know too, how your first is going to react when you bring the baby home. Well children can surprise you. Parker has been so sweet and helpful and she seems like such a big girl now. I feel so lucky and I can't really explain it, but my heart feels complete. Like we've been waiting all along for Taylor to get here...sounds weird I know...but our little family just feels so right and whole. Thank you to all our families and friends for their help, flowers/gifts and kind words. We feel so fortunate to have all of you in our lives.

love,
Kevin, DeLane, Parker Lilly & Taylor Rose


The day before my water broke we were busy. Off to a tea party!
Got the cookie cutters out....
and helped mom make cookies.
Then BAM!
In the middle of the night..my water broke!
And off to the hospital we went:)
15 hours later after trying for a vbac...I had another c-section. RIGHT after surgery...I was pretty dazed and emotional in this photo.
Our first family photo:)
Three days later we came home to our house decked out by our good friends the Murphy's!
SO cute:)
They came in the middle of the night with their two little boys and did all this.
Love you Murphys.
Daddy and his girls:)
mommy and her girls:)
LOVE this photo of Parker and Taylor.
Parker pointing out ALL Taylor's features....
...and look at those cute feet. Taylor is so long compared to Parker...well and of course weighed WAY more too! Who knew I could grow that big of a baby! WHOA!
I could stare at her face ALL day:)
Future Photographer....maybe?! She was way into all the photos being taken!
Little sis time:)
