The Firemen and Their Princess October 31st
We went to the Harvest Party at our church and the kids loved it. The boys were so excited to be firemen, Josh even put a little ash from our woodstove on their cheeks to look like they had just come out from fighting a fire. But, I think if there were a costume party - Ella would have won hands down. She truly was a princess! Definitely melted her daddy's heart.

Evan and Andrew...So Sweet!
Evan and Andrew are doing really well. They are growing up so fast! It is so nice that they have each other to play with, and stay pretty distracted. They are becoming the best of friends. I love watching them. It makes all the chaos worthwhile that they will grow up together like this. They love having a little sister. They beam with pride every time they hold her. She is one loved little girl. Every time they walk by her they have to give her multiple kisses and hugs. And they won't allow her to cry at all. Evan says often, "mom, are you going to milk her? I think she's hungry again."! Like I don't already feel like a cow!
The New Cogar Family of 5
It is so hard to believe she has finally arrived! The boys were so excited and couldn't wait to hold her. They visited often at the hospital and then spent some quality time with grandparents. I felt amazingly fine after the labor, just hungry. No surprise. We are ready to begin life with Ella in our arms and get to know the precious little girl who was not too long ago inside me!
Ella is Born!! September 26th
Ella Grace was born on September 26th at 5:00. The labor was so fast and intense that most of it happened in the car sitting in traffic. It was a sunny day and I had my sunglasses on.... it was so crazy from hospital check-in on, that I ended up delivering her with my sunglasses still on. I honestly didn't even think about it until they laid her on my tummy and she looked a little dim. I will say that of all three kids - she took the cake on the pain factor. All I could say after she was born was, "It's over, I'm so glad it's over, is it a girl?!".
The "Renovation" Project
This was a project that our landlords decided to BEGIN on my due date (September 19th)!! It stressed me out so much I thought for sure it would set me into labor. They stripped the whole back wall and replaced windows and who knows what else. Thankfully, they went as fast as they could and managed to seal it up by the end of the weekend. What a memory!
