Chandler Aaron Norton

He's Here!!!
Our precious Baby Boy!
Chandler Aaron Norton
Born March 16th 2011
6:55pm (after a 10 hour labor)
7 pounds 2 ounces
20 1/2 inches long
Welcome!!!!!!!!!
Healthy as can be, crying on my tummy after birth!

They always look a little swollen and slimy after birth, but still so precious!

Aaron with his new bundle of joy!

Can you tell Izzy was a little excited & nervous to hold baby brother?

She LOOOVED watching him take his first bath at the hospital.

She REALLY LOVED it, can't you tell?

Our precious addition to the family. He came and is absolutely perfect!

Proud papa-his shirt says "Handsome like Daddy"
(compliments of Grandma Norton of course!)

Never thought blue looked so good on a baby until now,
what a good looking boy!



We are so thrilled that "baby brother" (as we've called him until now) made it here safely. My labor was as the previous two. Elective Induction and sat and sat on a petosin drip for 9+ hours and then he decided to quickly make his move into this world with only a few pushes. Aaron was right there for all the action and my tears immediately gushed when I heard his first little cry. There's that motherly instinct that kicked right in and I knew this little guy was here safe and sound and he was ours! We are so excited to look forward to the next chapter, 3 kids!

Izzy's First Violin Recital

Isabelle Norton began violin lessons in September 2010. She has been taken 30 minute lessons every week since then. Her teacher is Doralee Madsen. Doralee is special in our family because she was MY teacher 25 years ago when I was only 5 years old. Now she has taken on my daughter as a student, and has done nothing short of exceptional with her. Congratulations to Isabelle, enjoy these 2 minutes, it took about 5500 hours of practicing to get this far, whew!
