Coming Home

I really am sorry about not keeping this up to date. For some reason I haven't wanted anything to do with posting on the blog. But since I've been asked for more pictures, I'll try to do better.

Here are the pictures of Liz getting dressed to come home from the hospital. Kyle has dressed all of our children and gotten them ready to join our family at home. It's a fun tradition that he has because it gives him that special 'daddy' moment with them that he doesn't get too many of otherwise.

We had a specific outfit picked out for Liz to come home in but we weren't planning on the fact that she was going to be so small. Thankfully we had a super cute newborn sleeper that her Aunt Chelle sent us.

So little.

I ended up giving it to the girl next to me in my recovery room because she didn't have anything for her little girl to go home in! (she was super young and her boyfriend/family were all punks.... poor thing)

She is precious! The pictures {almost} make me baby hungry! :); February 19, 2012 at 2:28:00 PM CST

Meet the Christensen Family!

Kyle and Christy met in August of 2005, officially started dating on the 5th of July 2006, and got engaged to be married on November 16, 2006.

They were married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in American Fork, Utah on the 17th of February, 2007. In June of 2009 we moved to Houston, Texas.

Gabriella was born on December 4. She weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce when she was born and was 20.5 inches long at that time. Since then, she has grown a whole lot and consistently measures in the 100th percentile among children of her age in categories of both weight and height. She loves anything to do with Mickey Mouse. She also loves reading anything she can get her hands on and pretending to be a princess.

Noah was born on July 10. He weighed 8 pounds .08 ounces when he was born and was also 20.5 inches tall. He has a very patient personality and really loves his big sister despite her struggles with no longer being the only child. He also is the teaser of the family.

Lizzie was born on December 17. She weighed in at 5 pounds 12 ounces and was 18 inches long. When she was first born we thought she was going to be our quiet child. Boy were we wrong. She is demanding and will scream at you to let you know she needs some attention. At this point, she is a complete Momma's girl.

In August 2007, Christy started her 2nd year as a 2nd Grade Teacher. She Graduated on April 27, 2007 from BYU with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education. At the end of the 2007-2008 school year Christy retired from teaching and became a stay at home mom.

In April of 2009 Kyle graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in English Education with a Psychology minor. While in his studies at BYU he has had an emphasis in Critical Rhetorical Theory specifically dealing with issues of Class, Gender, and Race in the Literary, Political and Pedagogical realms. Kyle no longer teaches. He has moved on to the Human Resources field. The company he works for now has great benefits and advancement opportunities. We can't wait to see what the future will bring with this new position.

Taylor has graduated high school and no longer lives with us. She will forever have a place in our home though and will always be a part of our family. Good luck to her as she heads off to BYU-I to study Recreational Therapy.
