Rush. Party of 5!
Once Everett arrived and we were home and settled, we invited a photographer into our home to snap some newborn pictures and new family photos. Well, she just wasn't pleased with the family ones so these are actually from our second family session. I'm going out of order a little.
This first picture is of sweet Everett Alexander Rush. Born July 11, 2014.

Oh the Joys of Parenthood
As I am sitting done to write this blog entry, I notice that my last entry was in June of this year. I have failed to share with blog world that Everett has arrived. Yes, my 3rd and more than likely final baby entered the world on July 11, 2014. Thus far, he is my easiest baby and the happiest ever.
I mean Elliott was a good baby and he was content. He also was very inquisitive. By that I mean he looked like he had a permanent scowl in his brow because he was also in question if what was happening. And he is still that way. Definitely my most serious first child. His imagination ceases to amaze me. This year he started preschool, yeah yeah I know go ahead and say he is 4 and just starting school?!?!?! He has been in and out of day care, various nannies, MDO programs but I'll save that for a rainy day entry. Anywho, back to preschool. So about 2 weeks into school his teacher proceeds to mention that he has the biggest and vivid imagination she has ever seen in a kid his age. And she has taught preschool for 14 years! Back to the point, I guess his attentive personality has led us to a big imagination.
Evelyn, our precious and highly spirited 2 year, is just that. . . . TWO!!!! Lord please have mercy in us because I think this girl might make us loose our religion before we even get to the teenage years. Anyone else put there have one of these? I mean I love the girl to death and yes in case anyone else is thinking it she is a spitting replica of me at that age, according to my mother. If your in blog land mom, I'm so sorry. What's the saying, "payback is a *#!*#"! That'll almost preach. On the positive side of this vivaciously large personality embodied in a tee tiny structure, those traits and qualities will be the things that make her who she is as a young lady one day. Let's just pray that it keeps the unwanted male species away during the. Teenage years and when the time is right that The Lord releases Prince Charming to ride in in a while horse to sweep her off her feet!!!
Everett. . . . . Well let's just say he is my snuggle bear. He is smiley and giggly. He loves to be held and held by his momma. He's a pretty decent sleeper and the boy LOVES to jump! He jumps when he wakes up. He jumps after breakfast before his nap. He jumps if I need to take a shower. He just jumps and jumps and jumps!!!! I can't believe he is already 5 months old and cutting teeth, eating transitional baby foods and trying to hold hid bottle. We spent one night away him when he was around 3 months old. Oh what a glorious night of sleep. The Lord really knows what He's doing when he gives you that third baby and he's so laid back.
That's my three little blessings that we never thought we would have. Praise The Lord he had different plans.
Well, I hate to jet but I guess it's time for me to go follow through with bed time discipline. My princess is determine to scream and talk and try and get her older brother and roommate to converse and poor boy all he wants to do is SLEEP!!! So I'm going to rescue him and hopefully put the fear in her to where she's zip it!!!!
Night blog world. Hopefully I'll try and make this happen more often. Maybe less words and more pics.

4 1/2 Weeks & Counting
So I haven't posted about #3 simply due to lack of time. Between work, 2 littles, husband in seminary and then just the rest of life anything extra has been put on the back burner. Here's the short and sweet, baby #3 is due to arrive around July 8th!
What a great day, my best friends birthday. And if he decides to make his appearance before say oh July 6th then it's even a better day. July 6th was my great uncle BA's birthday. It's funny writing out his name. I haven't spoken or wrote his name Ina very long time. BA, which was his name And not his initials for short, was a very man in my life but also our family's life. BA was my Mimi Dot's only brother who had cerabal palsy. My grandmother started taking my brother and I to visit BA on a near weekly visit from the time we were E & EG's ages. Being the first born, BA referred to me as his Befferner Kate! The love I had for that man is incomprehendable to me when I try and think about it!! So, without getting anymore gushy, if Everett, our 3rd born and 2nd son, decides to join in on July 6th I will be forever thankful for the sweet blessing from The Lord.
Preparation for Everett is pretty much non-existent. Besides putting up his crib and washing Elliott's baby clothes, we have not done much. We did have our family picture of 4 taken this past weekend along with individuals of the kids and maternity pictures of me. I have done this before each baby so stopping now would seem silly. We have seen one image from our friend and photographer. It is simply beautiful. I can't wait to see the rest.
I'll leave you with our picture that I believe captures who we are as a family.
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with gladness. Job 8:21
