Easter 2011 and Alexis’s 1st few months

Soon after Max’s 3rd birthday, Easter arrived. Max enjoyed following the eggs to his basket on the front porch. Alexis was so small. We had to take her to the doc for many weight checks to be sure she was growing properly. While it was slow-going, she was getting bigger. Enjoy a few pics of Easter and her 1st couple of months! I also included Max's 1st real drawing of something...a birthday cake!

Oh Gee! Max is 3! Tornadoes and Trains!

Just after Alexis was born, we celebrated Max turning 3, and met our newest relative, Lucy Evelyn. Everyone at the party remembers it very well! Probably the strangest birthday party ever, it was the day the tornadoes decided to celebrate Max’s birthday, too. We spent the day with our eyes glued to the weather channel . My brother and family (affectionately dubbed “the Abby’s by Max) were displaced from their home due to damages for a looong time. We are so thankful they were at our home rather than theirs when the tornados struck. As Max's 4th birthday approaches, we hope we don't have any more of these uninvited guests!

Bath Day!

Alexis's first bath was a little less eventful than Max's! Thankfully, I didn't get peed on! Max wanted to help, but after hearing his sister's cries, changed his mind! I love the picture of him covering his ears!

Ime becomes Alexis

Before our sweet daughter entered the world, Max dubbed her "Ime". Noone really knows why, but that is what we called her. A couple of days after she was born (cause you know how we roll) Darrell and I finally settled on her name: Alexis Reagan. After a whirlwind of phone calls and being rescheduled a couple of times, we were finally admitted to Rex for her delivery 3/31/11, and she arrived at 3:46pm 7 lbs 14oz and 21 inches long. Max still remembers Sissy's clear crib and the ""up and down bed" they had for Mommy with a white phone. He seemed to really love visiting us in the hospital. He has also loved Alexis from day one! Here are a few pics celebrating her arrival and preparing to go HOME!

The Last Pre-Alexis Post

Here are a few cute shots of Max from Jan-March 2011 Before Alexis arrived. These are from Valentine's day, a trip to Max's favorite place, Chick-Fil-A (aka Chicken-Ola), and just around the house!

A looong time coming

I know, I know! It has been almost 1 1/2 years since my last post. Since my Christmas post 2010, a lot has happened to the little Ferguson family. Darrell is still working away as an estimator for True 2 Form. I am still enjoying my job as Mommy, but doubled my workload by adding a new baby to the mix. Alexis Reagan was born 3/31/11 and we just enjoyed her 1st birthday! (pictures forthcoming) Max is growing like a weed. He has been involved in MOPS and Awana Cubbies this year. He is very vocal about not liking either, but evidence suggests otherwise! We are very proud of him for reciting his memory verse every week! Rather than spending a whole year and 1/2 creating new posts, I am just going to upload a few highlights of the year, and I promise to TRY to update this monthly as a new phase of my life...getting it together and mastering the role of CEO of The Ferguson Family!
