We love to hold him!

 The boys love, love, love holding their baby brother. And thankfully, he enjoys being held just as much!

 Lucy enjoys watching everyone hold Ben!

 Cookie Monster needs to be safe too!

Genius, just like his Daddy.

Baby Overload

 We love this boy so much. How did we survive without him? He just fits right in and the boys are absolutely smitten with him. Lucy, not so much. She enjoyed visiting him at the hospital and holding him for 1.5 seconds but once he got in the van to come home, her gloves came off.  Poor Lucy. It's hard to go from the baby to the big girl overnight.

 First trip home! Look how tiny he is!!

 Every newborn wishes they had their own stuffed hamster. Ben's so lucky!

 Tiny tongue!

 His sweet little elf ears. Cutest thing ever.

"Just five more minutes, Mom."

Meet your new brother!

 Look at these sweet boys! Since Ben was born later in the day, the boys weren't able to come visit him until the next morning. They couldn't wait! The first thing they did when they came into the room was rush over to their baby. They couldn't believe how small he was. And Jonah was the sweetest, he picked up Lucy to make sure she could see him. Such a good big brother.

 Grandma enjoyed some sweet cuddles with the newest Mason.

 They asked to hold him the entire time they were there and every time they came to visit.

 Taking good care!

 He knows good brothers when he sees them!

Benjamin William Mason

 Our newest, sweet little guy is here! Benjamin William Mason was born March 24, 2015 at 7:31pm. And we are all absolutely in love with this little guy. He weighed in at 8lbs 1oz and was 21 inches long. Everyone was commenting on his perfectly round little head! It's funny what nurses and doctors notice. He is incredibly sweet, very mellow and patient. We are just soaking him up!!

 Dr. Ellis is very near and dear to our hearts. She delivered every one of our babies and made it a priority to do so. We adore her and feel so blessed to have her watching over our sweet babies!

 Dan always gets to hold those bundles first!

 I think I spent the first night just taking loads and loads of pictures of him. He is so sweet. There is something so amazing about the first 24 hours of getting to know your baby. It is just incredible.

I love this boy.

Preparing for baby

 Preparing for the new baby has been a mixture of emotions. Lucy is excited but unsure. The boys are pretty excited and I am just trying to treasure and soak up every last minute with only three kiddos. Super excited to meet this sweet baby but I know everything will change with four instead of three.

 Got in a movie night with just the kids and their sleeping bags. So cute!

 Lucy always prefers our bed to her own. And she pretty much sleeps like this all night in our bed. Which means she's the only one who gets to sleep!

Jonah made this sweet little picture and note for me. I will treasure it forever.

Lucy turns Two!

 My sweet girl is officially TWO! How did that happen? This year we celebrated in a low key fashion. We opened presents with just our family the night before and had a few close friends over for dinner on her actual birthday. She had a great time opening the mountain of presents sent from grandparents, aunts & uncles, her brothers and from us. It was a sweet time enjoying our Lucy. And it was pretty much a Frozen explosion!

 She loved the Olaf from Build-a-Bear. It even plays the "Frozen" song. Yay. 

 An Olaf blanket from Grandma & Grandpa.

 She got a lot of sparkly play jewelry and it made her day!! Even jammies look better with jewels.

 Her special Two-shirt! Frozen, of course.

 My sweet crew.

 Crazy!

 And crazier!
