Lexie is here!

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.
