The End is Near....

I have two full weeks left before returning back to work  :(  I love teaching but I sure love being Carson's mommy more! I know once I get into the swing of things at school I will feel fine about being a working mom, but until then your prayers are much appreciated!!


The past few weeks have been packed full of events! For about two and half weeks we had Kyle's family in town to visit our newest addition. Kyle's mom, dad, sisters, and sister's family all had the chance to come see us. We were thrilled they got to spend so much time with our little man. We also took our first out of state trip. We went to Kansas for the day to see Kyle's grandparents. Carson was going through a growth spurt that day, so it proved to be a very eventful trip. We also learned a lot about how to travel with a baby!

Carson and I had our first "play date." However, I forgot to get pictures! We went and visited Brett and Whitney. It mostly consisted of Carson sleeping and Brett being the life of the party. He is one of the sweetest and happiest little boys I have ever met!

Sunday we had Carson dedicated at our church, Crossings Community. My mom, sister, and her husband were all able to attend to help dedicate our little blessing. We are so blessed to have such amazing families who are willing to help make sure Carson is raised to know the Lord. He did a great job during the dedication and service!

Carson will be eight weeks on Wednesday and he continues to grow like a weed! Below are some pictures of the last few weeks.

Our first holiday!

We celebrated the fourth of July by attending the Edmond parade. Carson slept most of the time but I think he enjoyed the little bit he saw! Kyle's parents were also in town so after the parade we had a little cookout.


(Kyle wasn't too crazy about us all matching, but I couldn't resist!!)

Carson is five weeks old and is growing like crazy. I didn't realize how big he had gotten until we visited some friends and their newborn in the hospital this week. It is amazing how fast it truly does go.

Carson's 1st Month

Our first month as a new family has been pretty eventful! Carson continues to grow bigger and show more of his personality everyday!! He is getting really good at holding his head up and he smiles randomly more and more each day. We can't wait for the day he actually smiles at mommy and daddy :)

And one month later, July 1, 2011. He is slowly figuring out his hand can be used as a pacifier!
