Papa Larry

Today, of all days (day before Father's Day), Carson asked out of the blue:

"Mommy, why don't we ever get to see your daddy?"

I explained that Papa Larry was up with Jesus and one day they would get to meet him and he is watching over them as they grow up. 

Cooper chimes in:  "Carson, we are just going to make a trip up to heaven to see him!!!"

Carson thought it would probably be best to just wait for the right time, when Jesus thought it was time to meet him.....good choice Carson!!

Cooper"ism"

Cooper just ran in the house all excited and announced:

"Mommy, Aunt Cory is coming to the house this day and going to go swimming with us!!!".......

The question is, do I even bother with trying to correct him?  This has been going on for over 5 years with no sign of improvement!!! 

Family of 5 photo shoot

It just so happened that we had a family photo shoot scheduled for today. It was scheduled 6 months ago without knowing Cayden would be joining us. It couldn't have worked out any better!!!!

We won't get the photos for about a week but here is a photo I shot while the photographer was trying to get the lighting right. 

Day #3 at home

Daddy had to go to work today so Gaga Margaret came to help out. We had Cayden's first doctor appointment. It was also my first time to go to a check up with one kid. 

He is now 7 pounds 10 ounces, 20" long. 

25% on the chart for his age. 

50% on the chart for his gestation age (3 weeks premature). 

AND, in case you were wondering, he is still cute!!!!
