Our two little monkeys are growing way too fast. It seems like
just the other day it was just the 3 of us and we were anxiously
awaiting Crew's arrival. Now he's more than a month old and
changing everyday. Grace is being the best big sister possible,
she is always looking out for her little bro and worries about him
everytime he cries. We're starting to realize that Grace isn't our
little baby anymore. She is getting so big, especially since bringing
Crew home. She is so funny and learning so fast. We couldn't
have a sweeter little girl. We are so happy to have both of them
with us and feel so blessed. We spend most of our free time
relaxing and putting our apartment back together so we haven't
gotten our here very much. But we will try and do better.
Until next time....

Toady in Grandpa & Grandmas Gear!!!




Sorry we have been so slow with our blogging but here is a little glimpse of what Toad was up to while " Ma" and "papa" Sharpe were in town! She couldn't get enough of "Ma's" glasses... It was hilarious she walked a little goofy with them on and looked funny too because of the prescription ;) Then it was on to "papa's" helmet... can we say top heavy! She really had to be careful not to fall over and knock her head into everything! She is so full of life and energy.... we are constantly laughing and wondering where she comes up with some of the things she says and does! We love this little one!

Crew McKay Mortensen





So we've been home for a few days now and things are going well, with exception to not getting nearly as much sleep. We are way happy to be home and are slowly figuring out the 2 kid bit. Here are some more pics for those who have requested them. Oh, and we decided on the middle name McKay. which is Tylers middle name too.

He's Finally Here!




We will tell you more later but our little man has arrived. It was a pretty long induction process that almost lead to us going back home. But everything worked out and our "nameless" baby was born at 5:05 pm March 27. He was 8 lbs 4 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. Ash is doing awesome and the baby is too. Thanks for everyone's calls, texts and concerns. We will try and get more pics up soon.

COUNTING DOWN!

Well we are getting pretty excited for the baby boy to come along! We have about 7-ish days left! It just depends on when they can get me in! (could be later then thursday because its an elective induction)!! But hopefully they are able to get my in thursday sometime! Im mostly just trying to enjoy my time with Gracelyn and Ty before our whole routine gets thrown for a loop! I know once he comes our whole world will change! Its just crazy to think that we will have two children! I dont think I will understand that until he gets here! If anyone has any advice on how to handle the jump from One to Two let me know! Cause im sure im gonna need it!

Our life lately







So we've been pretty busy lately but here's the breakdown
of what we've been up to since our last post. We are both
anxiously counting down til our little guy gets here. We are
so busy with Grace and life this pregnancy has been flying
by. Grace and I usally go the park a couple days a week while
Ty is at work. He is working 7-3 now so sometimes we wait
for him to get home. On saturday's we usually go the park and
watch Ty play flag football. Him, his brother, and a couple
buddies he grew up with play in a 4 0n 4 league. Their team
is in first place right now with 3 or 4 games to go. It's so
beatiful this time of year. I totally see why so many people
move here, we are loving it. We'll try and keep you updated
on the baby and the latest developments. Since everyone
asks, we have a couple favorite names, we probably won't
decide until we see him but you'll have to wait and see what
we go with. Oh and I have an induction date of March 26th!

The Little Man

This is our latest ultrasound picture of our little boy. In
typical Mortensen fashion his head is measuring big. We
can't wait til he arrives but will have to be patient for
the last 8 weeks.
