The whole family

Here we are now a family of four. Our adventures are just beginning and we can't wait! We are now home, settled, and all adjusting well. The summer has begun and we have lots of exciting things to look forward to! I will try to keep you posted on those summer adventures.

Preparing and Waiting for Carter

Big Brother Evan did a lot to prepare and wait for his little brothers arrival. We knew already what a great big brother he was going to be! He was very excited to give his little brother all his baby furniture so he moved into a big boy room, with big boy furniture.

Dr. Evan checked on mommy and baby daily

Lots of love for his baby brother already

He loved to feel mommy's belly and got so excited when he felt a kick

Evan took a big brother class and learned all about helping mommy and daddy with his brother

Evan was ready, mommy and daddy were ready, we were all moved into the new house and as settled as much as possible, and the nursery was set up and ready to go. All we needed was baby Carter to be ready to come. And that we had no control of. I had been done with work for 3 weeks and all we could do now was wait.

Our New House

Well we decided having another child wasn't enough change going on in our lives, so we thought we would add selling our house and buying a new house to the excitment. Why not just do it all at once?

So we put our house on the market and set out to search for a new one. It ended up working out more perfectly then we could have ever imagined or planned. Our old house sold very quickly, within a couple weeks of putting it on the market.

At the same time ours sold we came across a house we LOVED at a great price! We ended up closing on both houses and moving in on the same day (all this 3 weeks before our due date). Someone was really look out for us for all of this to work out so perfectly!

So now we are settled into our new home and loving it! It is in a great neighborhood with lots of families and children for Evan to play with.
