Here are some pictures of Anna taken last week. She's doing well and we just love her to pieces! We'll try to send more of an update on Sunday.

Five @ Home
Hi all,
We just wanted to give you a quick update on things here. We got great news Friday morning that they were going to let us bring Anna home! So after a bit of waiting we finally got her home around 5:00 Friday night. She is doing great and all of her blood counts are in the normal range. They just recommended that we keep her near sunny windows to make sure her biliruben levels don't climb back up.
Amy is especially relieved to have our little princess home so she doesn't have to head to the hospital every three hours to feed her. Paul is planning on taking a couple more days off from work so that Amy can have a chance to get some much needed R&R.
The boys are doing well with the adjustment. Jacob and Aaron both love their little sister, although I think Jacob may be a little gun-shy next time we offer to have him hold Anna. Both times he's held her she's pooped through her outfit right onto him. We wish we would have had a camera to catch the look on his face tonight when it happened!
Aaron said to Paul the other night while he was getting tucked into bed, "Dad, when are things going to be back to normal?" Poor kid. This was right in the middle of the seemingly hourly trips back and forth to the hospital which cut into his regular schedule of playing, watching his favorite shows, and playing Lego Star Wars with his Dad. But last night we had fun playing Candyland with all five of us and got to enjoy chocolate cake (sorry Ali!) and ice cream that a nice neighbor had brought over for us. Today Paul and the boys went to church so things are about as "normal" as can be expected.
Here are a few pictures of Princess Anna (just click the picture below to see a few more). Thank you to everyone for your calls of concern and prayers. They have really buoyed us up these last few days.
Love,
The Lacey 5

Anna Update
Hi all,
Thank you for all your prayers and concern for Anna. She is doing well and last night the Dr.'s said that her platelet and white blood cell counts were back in normal range after her treatments. They need to do more tests today to make sure they stay normal, but we know that she will be well.
Here are a few more pictures. Thanks again for all you do for us!

Inferno Red: A Soccer Mom is Born!
Hi everyone,
This has been a fun couple weeks of exciting new adventures for us. We're still waiting on the arrival of little "Anna" but that's not keeping us from staying busy with all kinds of other things. Here's an overview:
First of all, Aaron started Kindergarten two weeks ago. He is so excited to be in school. He loves his teacher, Miss Van Horn, and has met lots of new friends. He has talked the most about the cute girls that he's met and giggles and blushes when he talks about them - uh oh! We'll have to invite the guys over for a Star Wars party soon!
Jacob is doing well and loving all of his adoring girlfriends. The other day in church before sacrament meeting started he had four different 2 & 3 year-olds come up to him to say hi. Little Olivia kept coming over and giving him raisins and cute little grins. He misses his big brother when he's gone to school, but likes having Mommy all to himself (for a few more days, anyway).
In other exciting news, Amy's new CD, FLY! 11 Songs to Help You Shine Your Sink and Soothe Your Soul has been released! Wahoo! We felt like we gave birth when this was finally completed. It was debuted at the American Mothers Conference on the Family last Saturday and it sounds great.
Now that Aaron's in soccer (scroll down to the next post below this one for video highlights!), and with the new baby on the way, Amy decided it was time to get a minivan (while kicking and screaming the whole way!). After temporarily giving up hope for her red Jeep Grand Cherokee she conceded only on the grounds that the minivan would be red...bright red...Inferno Red (as the Chrysler Town & Country website calls it)! After driving it for two days she says, "I feel like one hot mama in this hot car." It handles very well and we are both extremely pleased. It was also the only red minivan in Las Vegas (with the features that we needed), as our poor friend and car guru, Chad Leavitt, can attest. It was quite the hunt, but Amy held out to the bitter end, and now says, "Victory is sweet!"
We hope you are all doing well. Feel free to browse through the web album links above to see more sights from our last couple months.
Love you!

No labor on Labor Day!
Hi folks,
We've had a good, non-eventful day today. I had false alarm number 4 last night with some good contractions and other signs that labor was imminent, but after packing my bags for the hospital and deciding to "rest" around midnight, I woke up at 6:30 AM with no contractions and feeling very much NOT in labor.
My official due date is September 15th or 17th (depending on which source we consult), so I could still have a couple good weeks yet. It's okay...we're excited, but not overly-anxious. It's been good to get Aaron in school and the nursery and boys' rooms all decorated. We feel ready, but will just continue to enjoy this cooler (100 degree) weather with our boys and let the baby grow a bit more.
We want to wish Mom Benson a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow! We know the best present ever will be to have the Conference over and done, though I hope you get to enjoy it as well! You've worked so hard on it and it will be wonderful! We wish we could be there to support you, but we'll be praying for you! For any of you who don't know about this awesome event featuring Steven Covey, the FlyLady, the Lowe Family from Branson, and others, check out this link and plan on coming this Saturday on Temple Square at the Conference Center. It will be SO GOOD! For those of you who have wondered what FlyLady is all about, this is a great chance to hear her. I wish I could be there!
It's late and time for bed. Every night I go to bed thinking "maybe tonight's the night the baby will come" since I'm coming up on 39 weeks, but we'll let you all know when the joyous event takes place. In a blessing I was promised that all is well with her, and that she will come "when the time is right." I took that as a little message of "BE PATIENT!" So I will!
Love you all,
Amy
