Shaunalia video

Hey everybody!

It's been a long time since we've updated this blog.

Analia and I have a few videos that we want to share with the family - the first of which is really funny about Shaunalia. She has some talent - as you all can see!

Enjoy!

Love, Jared & Analia

Hello White family!

This is the first time I've added anything to the website. Yay for me! I must say it's so nice to hear from Jared and his family on this blog. I really feel like we know what's going on in your lives in CA--so thanks Jared for posting. I love it and feel like we're more connected as a family already!

Just wanted to add some Lucy photos.

We're doing great and loving our new baby! The kids are in love with her...escpecially Grace. She is so helpful. She can change Lucy's diaper, hold her, feed (with a bottle of course!) and dress her. Grace is quite amazing and growing up so quickly. Sophie loves to laugh. She thinks everything Lucy does is a crack-up. The rest of us just like to watch Sophie laugh at Lucy. Spencer thinks she's cute, but is still a little nervous about picking her up.

Adam makes us all laugh with his Beat-Boxing-Baby routines (which make the whole family laugh) and the Kung-Fu Lucy Show, where she knocks-out Daddy everytime. Ah yes grasshoppa...she is a vede good at a Kung Fu.

Adam entertains us all...when he's home. He's been traveling a lot...and we're always so happy when he's home.

I'm doing great. Lucy is 7 weeks, so we're hoping to get some sleep soon! She's actually a really good girl. I just need it to stop snowing...and for the sun to come out. Then I will be a happy girl.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Shaunalia updates!

Hi everybody! We are so pleased with all the new additions in the family! Hopefully we can all keep in touch more often through the blogsite! The pictures look adorable!!! Here are some more pictures of Shaunalia, and also we took a picture of a rainbow that appeared in the parking lot of the Northridge mall (for those of you who remember where it is :D) ha ha ha! Actually, the weather has been pretty darn wet around these parts, even in Lancaster, below freezing, windy and cold! Hope you enjoy the pictures! With Love, Jared and Analia

Lucy Gayle White makes her arrival.......

Greetings to all the family. I know that you're all aware of Lucy's arrival on the 7th, and we appreciate the phone calls, emails, and visits that you've given us.....we are truly blessed that Lucy arrived healthy, happy, and that she and Jen are both doing so well.

Some stats: Born at 6:15 pm on Monday January 7th.......Weight: 7lbs 60z........Length: 19.5 in......Stay in hosptial: 24 hrs......

Lucy was the star of the hospital nursery. It was rumored that when Lucy returned to the nursery so Jen could rest, that all the nurses were stoked because she was their favorite. She was quiet, calm, and very easy to take care of.

That "low maintenance" attitude of Lucy's lasted for about.....oh, 24 hrs. She and Jen arrived home Tuesday about 8:30, and we were expecting things to go about the same as they had the day before. Lucy, however had other ideas.......In an effort not to appear boring or predictable, she decided to cry just about all night long, stop eating regularly like she had since entering this dark and dreary world, and basically frustrated and worried mom and dad for about 15 hours. After that, about the time that mom started producing "the good stuff" for her to eat, she appeared to regain both her appetite and her laid back disposition, and it's been really wonderful with her ever since.....

She eats about every 3 hours, sleeps regularly (occasionally as much as 4 or 5 hours at night) and keeps her brother and sisters entertained with her dirty diapers, cute expressions, and her incomparable cuddliness.

When she first arrived, we thought she didn't really look alot like any of the other kids, and that she really was quite unique in her look. We got home, and got out Spencer's baby book, and noticed a striking resemblance between her and Spence at that same age....she has dark hair and blue eyes, not quite as round as the other girls', and the trademark "White" chin and lips. We're anxious to see what she'll grow to look like, since she's already changed a lot since coming home. She has her mom's beautiful face, her Dad's skinny legs, and the biggest feet and longest toes I've ever seen on a baby. We love her so much and are so stoked to finally have the newest member of our family here!

I've posted a couple of pics. You might have already gotten one or two in an email...

We hope you're all doing well. Just a note: Jen's sister Kim had a baby in Nov, sister-in-law Kris had a baby in Dec, Lucy came the 7th, Jen's sister Teresa had her baby the same week on Friday the 12th, and Jen's sister-in-law Bernice is having a baby in February. Every eligible mother on Jen's side will have had a baby within a 4 month period. Couple that with Analia's baby in Nov, and Brody arriving for Josh and Alison within a couple of weeks, and it's been an extremely "productive" period for both our families!

We love all of you and are so pleased to know that the Lord continues to bless your families and ours as we strive to honor our Lord by keeping his commandments and serving our fellow beings. God bless you all! Good luck to Alison and Josh....we're anxious for Brody to arrive!

Adam, Jen + kids

Two months later

Hey family! It's been a long two months since the blog has been updated. A lot has happened since then. Shaunalia had her blessing, and we were blessed by having most of the family down in CA for that special day! Here are a few photos of that day. Shaunalia changes daily. We can see how much she's growing. We started giving her some cereal (baby, of course) and hopefully that will help give Analia a few more hours sleep each night. All in all, she is quite a beauty, and she fully recognizes each person in the family and smiles and cooes most of the day.

Analia and I want to thank all of you who were able to come down to CA to be here with us on November 4th. By being here, you helped make the day even more special!

Here are some recent pictures! We hope you like them!

With Love,

Jared & Analia
