How many MORE first-generation children would you like? 2
Would you like any multiples (this is for any round): no thanks
What’s your favorite way of naming: large namebanks
After Christian became a resident at the hospital he works at (and of course we're all so proud of him for it!), he and I promptly decided to take a vacation before he would have to start putting in more and more hours. We wanted it to be fun for us and for the kids as well, so where else did we jet off to but Hawaii! We rented a small bungalow on the beach for a week. It was the first time the kids had been in the ocean, and they absolutely loved it! Christian and Lucas took surfing lessons; Lucas couldn't wait to get back home and tell his friends he could surf (even though surfing for him consisted of running through the surf dragging a boogie board). Evie, who was two at the time, couldn't get enough of the leis and also loved playing in the sand.
It wasn't just the kids who had a good time; the vacation was like a second honeymoon for Christian and me. And I mean this literally: nine months later, we welcomed our second baby girl, Ella. She's probably the most mild-mannered of all our kids: she NEVER cries, is always happy to be held, and is so playful. Evie can't get enough of her little sister and always wants to help me take care of her (except when it comes to changing her diaper!). Lucas was a bit upset the baby wasn't a boy, but I can tell he's taking his role as as big brother to two sisters very seriously. Our girls are going to have a hard time dating when they're older; their boyfriends have to go through Christian and Lucas.
Speaking of Lucas, guess who just started school! Lucas is in kindergarten now and loving every minute of it. He's naturally very outgoing so it wasn't difficult at all for him to make friends. He's also got a knack for picking up new things: he can read at a second-grade level already! Christian and I are so proud of him and hope he'll keep this up.
The newest addition to the Turner family, baby Ella:
Our little lady, three-year-old Evie:
Our little boy (who's not so little anymore!), five-year-old Lucas:
