We are so excited to announce that our daughter Alexis Cassidy Smith was born on September 10th. She is beautiful...we feel so lucky to have three amazing children. Julia and Aiden are very happy to have a sister...they are so loving and sweet with her. Wally was able to take some time off of work so it's been great to have him at home. He's been able to help out with the kids more, and I've been able to get some rest since coming home from the hospital. He goes back to work next week and then I'll be on my own taking the kids to school in the mornings, but I'll manage.
Julia loves Kindergarten! She has adjusted really well to her new routine. Her favorite class is P.E. She is making a lot of new friends, and we're so proud of what a big girl she has become in just a few short weeks!
Aiden is a happy little boy and talking up a storm! He started calling Julia "Ya ya" which is just so cute! They play really well together. He looks more like Wally everyday. When we're out , sometimes total strangers will stop us and comment on how much Aiden resembles his daddy. I imagine he'll be taller than me before he starts middle school!
We recently found out that our time here in Melbourne is being extended until late next summer. We don't know where Wally's next job will be at this point, but we are happy that we'll be in this area for another year. It gives me a chance to finish my degree, and Julia will be able to finish the school year with her Kindergarten class. I really didn't want her to have to move in the middle of the school year.

Ready for baby
We are getting excited waiting for Lexie to arrive. Julia started Kindergarten last week and we are settling into a new routine. It's a whole new world to have to get up and get the two kids ready at 6:30 am to get her to school on time! Soon I'll have three kids to get ready in the morning. Wally has PT five days a week now so I'm on my own... :(
Aiden is doing really well, growing so fast lately. His favorite word lately is "no" He says mama and dada, sissy, Paris (our dog, for those who don't know), all done, uh-oh, yeah, no, yay, hot, and just in the past week or so he has started saying "thank you." But when he says it it just sounds like "da ca" ....you really have to listen for it to be able to make it out. He's also really into brushing his teeth lately and bringing everyone their shoes. If you say it's time to go somewhere, he immediately goes to the door and gets everyone's shoes, one pair at a time, and brings them to you. And he knows which pair belong to each of us!
Our new living room furniture arrived yesterday so that was exciting. Wally really wanted his new recliner in time for football season so he is a happy man.
I'm so ready for the baby to be born. Lexie is clearly out of room in my belly; I'm getting extremely uncomfortable. My back has given me a lot of problems this pregnancy, and it's very hard to walk longer distances now. It's hard to go grocery shopping without Wally.
So I'm going to attempt to update at least weekly. We'll see how that works out once we have three kids! lol
