Natalie's parenting skills at work

Natalie may need some more practice before she gets to be in charge of Palmer by herself!

Natalie and her makeup

Here's a cute video of Natalie playing in Michelle's makeup trying to figure out which shade looks better on her. I guess she's trying to be all grown up now that she's the big sister!

Natalie at the gardens

Here's a few pictures I liked that we took on our trip to the Botanical gardens just prior to Palmer's arrival. We thought a long walk would help Palmer come faster! (It didn't work, nothing did except good old patossin)

I know this isn't Palmer related, but I couldn't resist putting this picture up, it's one of my all time favorites of Natalie

Natalie playing

I thought this was cute of Natalie playing at the gardens here in Birmingham, this video is obviously pre-Palmer, but what the hey.

Natalie meeting Palmer at home

Here is the video of Natalie meeting Palmer when he first got to the house from the hospital, I thought it was sweet!

I love this video of Natalie trying to share toys she thinks Palmer would like to play with! She's trying to the good big sister!

Homecoming!

Well we finally made it home yesterday, we were so ready to leave the hospital too! Here's the pictures of the whole family all together at the house.

Here's a cute videdo of Natalie doing her best to take care of her new baby brother!

baby's name

Okay, after much deliberation (including the stress of everyone asking what his name was and not having an answer), we have decided to go with the name Palmer Wesley Hicks. So, here are a few more pictures of Palmer! More videos to come too. Thanks to everyone who has called, prayed, or visited to support us during this time. We are so thankful for all of you! Love Aaron

baby video

Here's a video of natalie meeting her brother for the first time. I will try to put more videos on later, please leave a comment to let me know you were here!

new baby

Well, Michelle manage to push out another one! Our son was born at 12:23, only needed one push to get out too! He weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces, 20.75 inches long, and is completely healthy. Here are the first pictures of (name tbd). I'll put a couple videos up to in a minute.

new videos

I just put three more videos of Natalie that we really liked. She can't get enough of the water park and has found a new love of slides! Michelle has her last doctors appointment tomorrow, depending on how she looks she may go ahead and deliver so we'll let everyone know if that happens.

natalie's golf video

Thought i would post a link to Natalie on the golf course, for some reason it transferred over flipped sideways and I can't figure out how to flip it back.

Put me down for a 5

Here are a few of the latest we have taken, Michelle bought a new camera and has been going crazy with it, there are already too many to put up! This is Natalie dominating on the golf course, she was able to to throw the ball in on her first try, which is definitely good enough to beat Nate. The other pictures are just ones I threw in for the heck of it. I am wanting to be able to put up video clips that we have, but I think blogger sucks too much to let us do it, so I'll probably have to put it on the Internet and link to it, unless somebody knows another way to do it. I'll put up more photos later.

Blog virginty

I guess they say there's a first time for everything, and that for me was losing my blog virginity. It was a little painful at first, but I hope it gets easier as I do it more often. I said I would never be a blogger but here I am giving in to the peer pressure, mainly because I was hoping to have a better outlet to put pictures of the family so people can see them more easily. So I guess that's it for now, leave a comment to let me know you read this and if you hated it or not.
