More Carley pictures...

She turned her head around to see her Daddy!

Carley's first few days at home

She likes her bouncy seat...usually watching big brother run around. She got her first bath today (sponge bath because the cord has not fallen off yet). Her hair look REALLY red when it is freshly washed!

4 in our family now!

Bradford is doing pretty good with her. His biggest problem in life right now is getting his 2 year molars in. His teeth have really been hurting lately.
Only way we could get this picture was to turn on cartoons at the same time!
Carley brought Bradford a new train when she arrived and that made him feel much better.
Proud Daddy!

How funny!

Thought everyone would get a kick out of this! Just out of surgery and they had brought Carley to me. J.B. said everyone was waiting to come in to see us and I had to "freshen up!"

Carley has arrived!

Born August 31 at 8:21AM. 6 lbs and 13.7 oz. and 20.5 inches long.
She has beautiful red hair!
She looks alot like Bradford did!
Her eyes are a dark blue.
Pretty in Pink! Mommy is enjoying all the pink :)

3 More Days!

Carley's Room

2nd Birthday Party...a little early

He finally got some tracks to go on his train table and now we can't get him to stop playing!
A Thomas the Train Blimp!!! He loved it!
He picked out this cake. He had been asking for a "truck cake" for months and this is the one he wanted.
A new bike from Mommy and Daddy. He is still getting the hang of peddling and steering at the same time.
Bradford's best friend, Sophie, at the party playing choo-choo with him.

First Day of Preschool

Bradford started Preschool this week at our church. He will continue to go a few days a week while I'm on maternity leave (not sure I can handle 2 kids everyday at first!). All of his teachers were amazed at how mature and smart he is! Of course we already knew that to be true! :)

New House

We moved into our new house back in Feb. I realized many of you had not seen it. There is still so much we have to do but it will all come in time.

New Baby to arrive Aug. 31!

Bradford and I at Baby Carley's shower at the church. Nana got the letters for her room. Here I am at 8.5 months pregnant. She is breech like Bradford was so we will have a C-sect next Thursday!

New developments in Bradford's life...

Bradford transitioned very well to his new "big boy bed" this summer so the new baby could have his crib. He loves it and enjoys reading himself to sleep each night (just like his Daddy!). He got to meet his new cousin, Kristin, a few weeks ago. She and her Mommy and Daddy were in from Japan for a nice long visit and they played pretty well together. Due to recurring ear infections he had to have tubes put in both ears. He was a real trooper and danced around the hospital like he owned the place.

What Bradford loves to do...

Bradford's favorite things right now are swimming, watching fireworks, and Thomas the Train! He swims as often as possible at MaMa and PaPa's house and has no fear! On a couple of occasions this summer PaPa has shot off fireworks by the pool and now Bradford constantly asks for more! Thomas the Train has become another member of the family...the table, movies, trains, tracks, books, shirts, shoes, EVERYTHING is Thomas! He knows every train, what color they are, and some story about each of them. He is a very active and inquisitive little boy who will be 2 on Sept. 7 (one week after the new baby arrives!)
