You Gotta Have Friends!

Our good friend Cami and her little boy Talmage came over to play today. It is so fun to watch Samantha now that she's old enough to actually have her own friends. She and Talmage were so excited to see eachother, they kept hugging and yelling "YEA!" Here are some pictuers of them playing together. On the topic of friends I just many great friends who have helped out during the first couple of weeks with Paul home. Kim and Brad, Cami and Chris, Emily and Jacob, and my Aunt Teresa have all taken one of our kids so that either my mom or Adam and I could have a break. (not to mention that my aunt helped my mom clean my whole house so I wouldn't have to worry about it for awhile). I know that not everyone is lucky enough to have so many people willing to help and to do so gladly. It also helps that they're fun people so we actually like to hang out with them!! Thank you everyone for your help, but more importantly for your friendship.

New Pictures

Here are some newer picture of Paul, including his first bath. Kelle's Grant - I hope you still think baby Paul is "tute!" Other than just surviving :) we aren't doing much. My Mom left yesterday. I'm not sure how I would have survived with out her help. Samantha is sure missing her. She was not happy when it wasn't "Brama" who was waking her up this morning. Thanks again Mom for taking the time to come out here, we LOVE YOU!!

Happy Anniversary

I can't believe Adam and I have been married for 4 years! It has been great and I am so glad he's my husband. He is always so supportive of me and always puts others first. I just wanted to publicly say that I LOVE ADAM! I'm also putting a couple of pictures of us up... I wish I had more, but most of the ones I have of just the two of us are a older and are not saved on the computer. Oh well, enjoy the ones (especially the first one) that I did post.

Little Buddy

Samantha can't get enough of "buddy" as she likes to call Paul. Every time she holds him and he moves she keeps saying, "uh oh buddy" because she can't hold his head up completely. She also keeps asking where he is and is having a hard time understanding that he is always asleep, she wants to hold/play with him all the time. Here are some pictures we took this morning.

He's Here!

Baby Paul is finally here! It seems like I was pregnant forever, but he's here at last. He was born at 10:07 p.m. on Monday, May 12. 8 lbs 3 oz and 21" long. I can't believe he was a full pound bigger than Samantha (she was 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 1/2" long). Crazy. I know all anyone really cares about is seeing this little guy, so here you go.
