Bee stings!

Right as aunt del & uncle John leave poor c-bug steps on a...bug. Rather, a bee. A big, nasty one who's lifeless body we are keeping as a trophy for carter's bravery throughout the whole 'foot-soaking, needle-probing, tweezer-poking, toothpaste-rubbing' ordeal.
Clara waited semi-patiently in her swing while big brother got fixed up.
But ::whew:: with one demanding lunch & another with a minty-fresh foot, mom is looking forward to this afternoons nap time!

First loose tooth!

UPDATE: he lost it! 7/25 around 7:15 pm, came out by itself! Pictures'll be up as soon as my laptops fixed!!

CARTER HAS HIS FIRST LOOSE TOOTH!!! how exciting :) as soon as my lap top's functioning again- there'll be a picture of a boy with one less tooth!

CLARA :)

how lucky are we? :)

Baby Clara has arrived!

I'm sure we'll share the longer version later, but to be brief: Monday morning (July 12) around 8:30 a.m. I was hesitant to call labor & delivery, not wanting to come in, be monitored and turned away ('the pregnant girl who called wold??') but by 11:20 a.m. that same day, we welcomed baby Clara into our world!














And now we're already home, just 2 1/2 days later enjoying our brand new little family!





Expect a million more pictures to come!!!

counting down...

til baby Clara's arrival
