Bekah is overcome with fear as she thinks about when her parents will pull out this photo during her teenage years.

That is the LAST time we ask Bethany to sweep up for us.

A Barbie Magical Pegasus Doll! Thank Grandma Arizona!

Buzz Lightyear, Space Ranger. "To the Enfields House and BEYOND!"

Santa brought my Cinderella's talking kitchen! It must have been the cookies I frosted myself.

Bekah's Christmas wish for everyone, "Fight the Power".

Winter Time in Washington

2005-12-17T06:48:00.000-08:00

The temperature around here have been COLD. It hasn't gotten much above freezing at all this week. Very cold, even this time of year. There's a chance early next week we'll get some more snow, which has the the romantics (like Christina and Angela) dreaming of a white Christmas. If we do have a holiday that Bing Crosby could dream about, you'll hear about it first here - on the Enfield Family Blog.

Daddy and the girls spend some time hanging out before bedtime.
Bethany loves to help out mommy, but Bekah's not to sure about this "water" stuff.
Bekah looks at Bethany and says, "HEY! You gonna use that washcloth or what?"
The first sign of the holiday season is the first sighting of the traditional Santa Baby.
For some reason, Bethany and JD like to wake up before 6am. I guess its nice to get a jump on breakfast.

Bethany and Rebekah went to see Santa today!

Both girls are blowing kisses over the internet!

Bethany was a perfect little lady and asked Santa for a Cinderella Talking Kitchen and a robot dog for JD.

Santa and Mrs. Claus said that Rebekah was the youngest child they had seen all year. The picture turned out so well, they are going to put it in their scrap book and they didn't charge us for it!

Its Snowing Yelm!

2005-12-01T13:02:00.000-08:00

The white stuff is falling down! Bethany is very excited and can't stop talking about the snow. JD stood outside for about 10 minutes and seemed to just stare in disbelief while he got soaked. Bekah is still eating, sleeping, and dirtying diapers. The picture was taken at 1pm. According to expert meteorologist Kevin Stromme, its supposed to keep snowing until 3am or 4am. We'll get some "kiddos in the snow" pictures as soon as they wake up from their naps! If you don't hear from us in the next couple of days, we're probably tunneling our way to safety.

Pretty Much More Pictures

2005-11-30T20:18:00.000-08:00

More Pictures.
JD and Rebekah

After a few days at home, everything is going well. Not much to add but the pictures.

Bethany saw Rebekah eating and thought she would give it a shot too with her baby doll.

This is Rebekah the day we brought her home.

All our kids: JD, Bethany, and Rebekah.

Rebekah and Daddy

She spent a lot of time awake today. She was looking all around and especially liked it when she had people talking to her.

She's well loved and well protected.

Rebekah loves to sleep at night when she's swaddled. She's been doing great at night sleeping 3-4 hour stretches. Mom is VERY happy!

Baby Bekah is here!

A little before 3am, Christina was woken up by her water breaking. We jumped out of bed and turned the lights on. After turning the lights on, Christina discovered that her water hadn't broken, but rather that she was bleeding heavily. I immediately called 911. The paramedics got here in a couple minutes and whisked us away to the hospital. Christina's sister, Angela, stayed at our house with the kids.

At the hospital we found out that there had been a rupture in the placenta and that was causing the bleeding. Christina was dilated to 4-5 centimeters and was now in hard labor with contractions right on top of each other. In about 30 minutes she had progressed to 8 centimeters and the midwife broke her water. After about 15 more minutes of contractions, she pushed twice and Rebekah was born at 5:10am. The ambulance arrived at our house at 2:56am and she was born at 5:10am. It was a blur! She's 8lbs, 7oz, and 19 & half inches long. Her birthday is November 26th.

Both mom and baby were fine after birth. Rebekah was wheezing a little in her breathing, so she was admitted into the special care nursey (not the NICU). She was there and with us for feeding for the first 24 hours, then she was moved to our room. We were discharged this morning at 10am and brought her home.

Bethany is SO excited and JD is kinda indifferent. We are all adjusting to our new family. I am staying home this week and we hope to hear from all of you and see some of you as well. Thank you for all your love and support!
