Robert B Baca, PE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob is now "officially" a licensed civil engineer. He had to take the test and study for many years. We are so proud of him. We had to take him out to celebrate.
Here's our tween. We get this look A LOT!

It's hard to believe that I had her all dolled up just one hour before this photo was taken. Her ability to get messy is legendary.

This guy! My boy reminds me of my grandpa so much that I nicknamed him Bobby Dale.

Lazy days of summer

Here's my little squishy! I can't tell you just how soft and cuddly he is or how great he smells. All the really great things about babies.

Rachael is just so funny! I love 5 year olds. Her imagination is huge. Here she is dressing up her hand puppet, Ron Weasley.

How come babies are so cute when they are mad and crying?

I love when he just looks around checking everything out.

Emma loves playing with Bobby and she is really great with him. She thinks he doesn't like her when he cries when she tries to hold him.

Here's Bobby sleeping in his swing. This swing is the only reason I get anything done. Bobby has become a real mommy's boy. Hmmmm, I wonder if it has anything to do with my mammory glands........

Rachael doing what she does best: Getting dirty! She was screaming at the top of her lungs. I finally asked her why and she told me that she was screaming at the bee's to leave her alone.

Here'a my Emma enjoying what I consider one of the best summer activities ever: reading in pajamas all day.

Happy 4th of July!

Rachael and Bob building a puzzle. She will do this with him from sun-up to sundown.

Rachael loved making shapes with sparklers.

Emma is such a good helper with her brother and sister. I don't know what I would do without her!

Bobby before the sun went down. The stroller thing lasted about 3 minutes before he wanted to be snuggled. He's lucky to have so many of us who want to love and smooch him all of the time!

Robert Anthony is finally here!

Here's our baby boy! Bobby was born at 2:37 am on July 1st. He was 8 pounds 6 ounces and 21.5 inches long. I checked in at about 3 pm in labor and after about 11 hours of, well, labor he came into the world after 11 minutes of pushing.

His big forehead bruise is pretty aparent in this picture. Imagine my surprise when 2 nurses hopped up onto the bed to help push him out cause his shoulder was stuck. Poor baby!

I love this picture! Bobby is sharing my sisters lap with my nephew! I can't wait to meet him! Only 10 more weeks!!!

Pretty lady, pretty baby.

My niece loves babies so much! I think she wanted to run away with him. Such a cute kiddo!

I just can't believe how much moms and babies have to go through to bring life into the world. Glad his bruises are getting better.

I have this same picture with my mom and all three of my kids. Robert is her first grandson and eigth grandchild.
I honestly don't know what I would have done without her and Beth's help.

We absolutely love our little guy. I had a totally terrible pregnancy and I am so happy with the outcome. He is a mellow baby with a sweet little cry. I call him Bobby Dale cause he looks so much like my grandpa. In the moments he doesn't look like my grandpa he looks just like my brother. He does have a cute little chin dimple and several cute dimples around the sides of his mouth and chin. Those are all daddy. He also has his dad's long slender fingers. It's really too early to tell what he will look like as babies change so much, but we think he is perfect.

I keep having moments of absolute euphoria come over me. I felt so terrible physically for so many months that it is just refreshing to be able to walk around without feeling horrible pain. I am also happy knowing that we are all here and accounted for, no more pregnancies for me.
