The Weldon House Has GROWN TO 4!!

Surprise Duke's baby sister arrived early!!  We were able to still sneak in some bonding time with Duke before the Weldon house changed for good :) 

London Faith Weldon arrived on Sunday at 3:23pm - October 12th, 2014 weighing 5lbs 5 oz and 18 1/2" long.  Due to a knot in her umbilical cord and it being wrapped around her neck and stomach along with little fluid in mommy's belly she needed to come right away.  Mom felt a big change in London's movement on Saturday and it was fast change from an active lady on Friday to nothing.....Mom called the doctor on Sunday morning and went to the hospital to get it checked out.  After a few test and dad joined mom's side it was a decision that London needed to come and the Weldon family would grow that day.  London came in with a great scream and has showed us her strong lady style ever since.  There has been some hurtles but this lady just was not ready to enter the world yet and so she is fighting to come in the way she wants ;)  Mom is staying at the hospital while she gets ready to come home with lots of visits from dad and Duke - who always bring great brightness and laughter to the day!

Take a look at some good times we had prior to Baby's arrival and some great moments we have shared as a family of 4!

These two are always waiting for dad to come home

Special visit from Arizona!!

We were blessed to have Aunt Chelse, Uncle Scott and Cousin Sage come to MN from AZ to pay us a visit and do some celebrating. 

We were busy with picnics, pumpkin picking, Sage's 1st Birthday, wedding, and toooo much play time!  Words don't express the fun we had together, it will be a weekend that we will never forget, filled with great family memories.  Duke formed a special bond with Sage as they are both mobile and love to interact.  Duke taught Sage a few words and Sage taught Duke some female attitude :)

Take a look at our photos from this fun long weekend - there are just a few extras as well.
