Three Lees in a Pod plus the Little Sprout: Snow Day!!

On June 25, 2008, at 30 weeks gestation, we welcomed our three Lees in a pod to our family. Piper was born at 12:36 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 2 ounces, Henry followed at 12:37 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 15 ounces, and Rosemary showed up last at 12:37 p.m. weighing 1 pound 14 ounces. On August 2, 2008, Piper came home from the NICU at what would have been 35 weeks and 3 days of gestation weighing 4 pounds 15 ounces. On August 7, 2008, Henry followed and came home at what would have been 36 weeks and 1 day of gestation weighing 6 pounds. Finally, on August 16, 2008, at what would have been 37 weeks and 3 days gestation, Rosemary came home weighing 4 pounds 4 ounces. On August 10, 2010, at 39 weeks and 4 days gestation, we welcomed Penelope to our family. She was born at 12:35 p.m. weighing 7 pounds 14.8 ounces.

Snow Day!!

Today we had snow!!! Unfortunately, especially in our area of town, it never got too much below freezing, so we didn't have full snow coverage. Had it been below freezing, I can't imagine how much snow we would have had. Nothing compared to what folks in the Northeast are seeing now, but certainly a lot for this part of the country. Gary's office and my office both closed at noon due to likely bad travel conditions, so as soon as the babies got up from their naps, we bundled them up and went outside to play in the snow. The kids had a great time, and so did we.

Samantha said...: Super cute pics! What kind of camera do you use? I just got a new one and I can't figure out how to make the object clear and the background not in focus.; February 12, 2010 at 9:05 PM
Heather said...: Thanks, Lindsey. I know you probably get tired of this kind of weather, but down here we LOVE it!! :)

Samantha -- I have a Nikon D60. The best thing I ever did with that camera was sign up for a month-long one-night-a-week photography class. I didn't know how to use it properly and was just shooting in automatic, but that class taught me how to shoot in manual, which is when you can really start blurring out the background, in addition to other things. I am still very much learning about photography, but that class made all the difference in the world. I'm sure you have a similar local class that you can take. Worth every penny!!; February 12, 2010 at 9:13 PM
Cathy said...: What a fun, fun day!! The babies look like they are having a blast. Having grown up in a snow-for-5-months-a-year climate, Friday's snow is EXACTLY what I love. Just enough to have some fun with for a couple of hours, and then it melts. Another inch or two would have been nice, but seriously, this was just about perfect in my book. I LOVE the girls' hats - where did you find those (love the jackets too!) So much fun! Oh, and your pictures are fabulous!; February 15, 2010 at 7:13 AM
Heather said...: Cathy -- the girls' hats are from Hanna Andersson -- which I learned about from you!!; February 15, 2010 at 8:59 AM
