A few family firsts

This week has been filled with many firsts in the Cox family.  Adding a new family member is definitely monumental, but we've tried to capture it in our mediocre picture taking style.  Below are a few firsts for the Cox family:

Harper’s First bow

Our first picture as a family of FOUR!

Mommy and Harper's first matching outfits

Harper’s first trip with Mommy and Daddy

Harper’s First picture at home

Gavin and Harper’s First brother/sister moments

Matthew's first haircut

Can any one say Super Dad?  Matthew went out and bought clippers and decided to give Gavin his first DIY hair cut.  He took his first pass at it on Wednesday...

 

and then took another pass at it on Thursday. 

The finished product was excellent and clearly even Gavin agreed. 

Gavin and Harper’s First matching outfits

Granted the age threshold where brother/sister outfits are cute and age appropriate isn't too long in ones' life, so I don't think you'll see a pic like this every year on the Christmas card much past 2015 or so, it's definitely cute while you can do it...and cute with these two kiddos.

Harper’s First bath at home

Harper’s First trip to the park

Our first couple of weeks at home have been filled with lots of fun and adjustment and flexibility- not the least of which is getting used to using all of the female pronouns when it comes to talking about 50% of our children.  I am so proud of my husband who knows what it is to be a HELPmate...and I am also proud of Gavin who has been full of big kisses for little sister.  It's fun to see his face light up when he walks into a room and sees "sister".  He'll point and say "baby!".  He's had a few "Lenny" moments where we've had to ask him to be more gentle...but I am (almost completely) positive that it's done out of love!

I'm excited to find out what our new normal is and carry on living life as a family of FOUR! 

So thankful to God for these three most rich blessings in my life.
