Here are the notes that a sweet sister in the ward gave me

*We are excited to have you in our family and with us on Earth

*May you remain healthy, strong and calm as you are now.

*May you grow and learn things that will help your life be meaningful and successful

*Learn all you can. Be anxiously engaged in good causes. Give service

*Be a peacemaker and be Friends to those who do not have friends

*work and study to develop a testimony of your own. 

*Strive to serve a mission

* Desire to marry int he Temple and have children who will be one of the joys of your life

*Know the Savior. Gain a Knowledge of the Atonement.

*Be an example and follower of Christ

Coleman is such a joy. He just brings the sweetest spirit into our home. During his pregnancy I worried that I wasn't as connected to him in utero as the other two and that I might struggle to feel connected to him once he arrived. My worries were dashed as soon as they placed him on my chest right after he was born. He is the smiliest "little guy". He is at such a sweet stage, trying so hard to communicate and all that comes out are these tinny squeaks and coos. Our little Coleman boy is getting strong standing on his feet and getting more coordinated to bat at his hanging toys and grabbing onto the ones he can reach.

 We had lots of yummy food and my kids ate a ton of sugar

 My kids adore Uncle Devin

 We were so happy to have Grandma and Grandpa Harrison be able to make it.

Coleman was blessed on Fathers day. Dave is a better father then I had anticipated and our children our very blessed to have him. I feel so grateful to have such a great partner in parenting.
