It's A Boy!!!!

Mason Dean Lapekes made his arrival into the world on Friday, April 24 at 7:56 a.m. Weighing 6 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches long. He has lots of dark hair and is absolutely adorable!! Here are a few pictures...we can't wait for you all to meet him.

Precious!

Everything with the c-section went great. We arrived at the hospital at 6:00 am and went in for the surgery at 7:30 and he was here 25 minutes later. Recovery so far has been good. I feel great and was able to get a shower a few short hours later. Mason is doing wonderfully. He is a champion eater. We are so in love and Myah (obviously from the pictures) can't get enough of him. They were just up here again tonight and all she asks about is baby Mason. I'm sure she will be a BIG help once we get home as well. :)

Miscellaneous End of March

Just a few pictures of our darling children Sunday. My mom made this fun spring cake and Myah just loved it. She had to help with everything. Dressed in their Sunday best! :)

Handsome little man!

Also, on to baby news. We are officially down to the wire. 2 weeks from this coming Friday our new little bundle will be here. I think it is finally hitting me. It's pretty nuts but we'll be a family of 5 in no time. Stay tuned!

Frederick Meijer Gardens - Butterflies

Mike's mom wanted to take all the grandkids to see the butterflies at FMG. It was nice to be able to see everyone again...we don't see his step-brother and sister very often. The kids were so-so with the butterflies. I don't think they really got it yet but it was still nice to go and see them. They loves the wooden tree house outside though. Too bad it was still so cold that we didn't last too long out there.

Griffins Game

Our good friends Rob and Kim Bruwer invited us to the Griffins Game. They were able to get a suite through Rob's work which was wonderful. It gives plenty of room for the kids to run around and not have to sit still through the whole game. They had a lot of fun and of course loved being able to play with Rob and Kim's daugther Giada.

Our goofy boy!
