He is the most perfect addition to our family.  We are all in love!  I didn't know if I could love another child as much as I love Brielle, but Carson just threw those fears out the door!  He truly makes our family complete and I can't imagine it any other way. 

 

We love you Carson!  We love your adorable little nose, amazing head of wild black hair, your perfect fingers and toes, your little grunts and nuzzles, your smell, your eyes, your funny looks, your sweet sleep smiles, your one sweet dimple, the way you sleep with your arms above your head, the way you can already lift your head, and your peaceful sleeping body.  Everyday we find one more thing to love about you that we didn't notice the day before.  You are truly amazing! 

 

Brielle couldn't be more proud of her baby brother and she truly loves being a big sister.  We thought she would do well as a big sister, but she has surpassed our expectations.  She is patient when we are stuck in the house for hours at a time.  She begs to hold him whenever he is in the right "mood".  Her face lights up when his eyes are open and she can talk to him.  She cuddles him, talks to him, tries to soothe him when he cries, helps with diaper changes, grabs items when I forgot, picks out his clothes, cleans binkies, and plays by herself when Grant or I are not available.  All in all she is the best big sister a little brother could ask for.  You are amazing Brielle!

Welcome to the world Carson!  Proud Big Sister holding Little Brother for the first time!  She couldn't get enough of him.



 Thank you Kimberly for coming in on a Saturday to deliver Carson!  I can't imagine if we had waited 10 more days!

 Birth Day celebration for Carson!  Brielle picked out a delicious pumpkin cheesecake to celebrate this special day.  Aunt Dianne and Uncle Bob brought another cake to celebrate his Birth Day as well! 

 

Carson got Brielle a little gift too.  It included face paint.  Can you tell someone likes to paint her face?  Brielle is a rainbow tiger if you couldn't tell!

Grandma and Papa are in love with Carson Jeffrey too! 
Carson's middle name is in honor of Papa. 
What a great namesake, role model, Dad, and Papa!

More face painting!

 We are thankful Uncle Bob and Aunt Dianne were able to stop by and celebrate Carson's Birth Day!!!!  Thank you for the delicious cake!

 
Check out Brielle, Grant, and Papa!  Look closely at the marvelous face creations by Brielle.  She was very proud if you can't tell by that grin!

Grandma helped Brielle make a 'Welcome to the World Brother' shirt to wear on the day we took Carson home.  Our family of 4 is ready to go home!

Carson is ready to go home too!  Brielle helped Grant carry the car seat the entire way to the car.  She was very protective of her little brother!

 

It's pretty cool sitting in the back seat with brother! 

Home at last!

Pretty great to be home with our little brother!  Brielle's smile sums up how we feel about having our little monkey, Carson, home.  Very blessed!
