Bird: BlazeLuke and I are happy to announce the arrival of our fifth child, and finally, it's another girl! Nathalie Cristina came into the world late Christmas Day at 11:36 PM, weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces; 19 1/4 inches long. Nathalie has light brown hair and gorgeous hazel eyes that seem to change color, depending on what she's wearing. We went with the name Nathalie because it means "Christmas Day", so we thought it was very appropriate. Her middle name, Cristina, is for Luke's mother.Speaking of Luke's mother, with five children and a very busy household, she has moved in with us. She took up our offer a while after Luke's father had passed away. She would keep busy, but we figured she was rather lonely in their big house on her own. The kids were thrilled to have her move in with us. Cristina is a wonderful grandmother, and the kids love spending time with Grandma, as they call her. That second master suite is definitely coming in handy now, and we're happy to have her living with us. She is very hands-on with the kids, helping Ellie Grace with her homework, playing with the boys, and helping with the baby. She and I get along wonderfully, and we are very close.Ellie Grace is now nine years old and is thrilled to finally have a little sister. She was so excited when she found out it was a girl, and now, she loves to come home after school and help out with the baby. She's phenomenal with her, playing with her, holding her, and just being a wonderful big sister. She's also doing wonderfully in school and is a great student. She loves to read and is still quite the perfectionist with very high grades. She still loves figure skating and is getting ready to skate in pairs, rather than singles.Grant and Cade are six years old and are still very different. Despite being very different, they are very close and are known for sticking together. Cade is still the much more outgoing of the two and is very much the leader. He's still far more independent and willing to take risks, and occasionally gets in trouble at school for talking when he's supposed to be doing something else. On the other hand, Grant is much more quieter in school and is known for always doing what he is supposed to.Jude is now three and a half and has developed a strange habit of picking up stray animals and bringing them home. We've had everything from dogs, to cats, rabbits, and birds in our home, and he insists on taking care of them. He's quite affectionate toward the animals, and is no doubt, a complete animal-lover.
