Josh is very intrigued and we're trying to teach him...
"you can't sword fight with baby brother just yet!"

Such the little mommy...Liz is such a good
helper!

So sweet baby feet

Little hairy monkey boy in his cute little monkey outfit!

sleep...Sleep...and MORE SLEEP!

SO small compared to big sister!

Gassy smile! Doesn't he just look like an OLD little man!

Scot gave me a nice break on Friday and

took Liz and Josh to the Zoo with Liz's

preschool. They had a fun time, and I

got some good rest!

For those of you intrested in all the details, you can keep reading...

Carter decided to suprise us and came 11 days early. And we are all so glad that he did! The labor pains started early that morning when Scott thought it would be good idea to give me a blessing before leaving for work. The pains would come and go throughout the day but were very inconsistant. That night was the pinewood derby and I thought it would be a good destraction for me and the kids. As we got there, the contractions got much closer and more painful. So we left early, picked up some Arby's, droppped off the kids and headed to the hospital. It was about 9 pm once we got there. I had my epidural at 10:30. Started pushing at 11:45. And he was born at 11:59 on the 26th. It amazes me how perfect these new little babies are. He is so tiny...with lots of hair..."our little monkey"! My mom is so wonderful and took Liz and Josh for a few days while we brought Carter home and did the whole transition thing. He is such a good baby and we are so blessed to be entrusted with such a sweet little spirit. We love him SO MUCH!
