More Pictures of Luke

I got a hold of my Mom's camera and she got some really cute pictures of Luke I thought I'd share. He's such a beautiful sweetheart. Now if we could just figure out how to get him to sleep at night... :)

Our Little Prince Is Here

Luke Travis Barlow was born on January 20th, 2009 at 8:36am. He weighed 6lbs. 13.5oz. and was 19 inches long. He is beautiful! A few hours after his birth he had to go to the NICU because he had some trouble maintaining his sugar levels. Mom and Dad were heartbroken. Nate spent most of the time with Luke in the NICU. Luckily, it was an easy fix and we were soon together again. We came home on Friday, the 23rd. It's nice to be home enjoying our precious boy.

Just So You Know...

I'm scheduled to deliver little Luke on Tuesday, January 20th. That's only 3 days away and it's surreal! We're very excited and will post pictures as soon as we can!

Christmas (Late) At Home

Hallie was so excited to see that Santa had brought her American Girl Doll! She named her Lily.

Kids inspecting their Santa gifts! Standing outside our front door, after returning from the airport after their trip to Florida. Mom made them pose for a picture first. :)

Chase was excited about lots of cool toys, but he really loves his scooter...it's a big boy one!

We thought Blake might hyperventilate when he realized we'd bought him his own cell phone! An LG Scoop, just what he wanted.

Christmas was definitely different this year with the kids not being home, but we had a joyful reunion that was lots of fun! :)

Pictures from Kids' Christmas in Florida

All the Parker Grandkids in their matching jammies. Notice that there are 8 boys and only 2 girls! On 1/4/09 another Parker boy was born too! :)

The kids got a Wii for Christmas and were sooo very excited!

Hallie & Chase with their little brother, Jack, who turned 1 while they were there. This was the first time Chase got to meet his Great Grandma Parker (who turned 96 while they were there) since he was a baby. She is the reason he's a red head! Very sweet!

Blake, Hallie & Chase on Christmas Eve. Mommy missed them like crazy, but they had fun!
