Corn Maze and Calvin

Calvin Yale was born yesterday October 25 at 11:59 am. He was 6lbs 7oz and 20 inches long. I went into labor yesterday morning at 6:30am and we went to the hospital at 9:3o and I was 6cm and an hour later 8 and shortly later ready to push. I was able to do it again with no pain meds. We had a good night last night. We are happy to be home. Clara is excited we are home too. She loves he baby brother and told him all about his new things at home. He seems like a happy baby so far.

Mossy Creek

We went to Mossy Creek festival yesterday. Clara had a great time. She wanted a sword balloon instead of a flower. It still hasn't popped! She went to the petting zoo, rode a horse, went on a hayride, ate 2 ears of corn, ate ice cream and curly fries. We saw a ventriloquist. He was funny Clara sat in Brian's lap the whole time she must have enjoyed it. We didn't look at the crafts this year we just ate and did the fun stuff.

The girls had my shower today. I forgot my camera but they took pictures. We had a good time and came home with lots of cute boy clothes. I enjoyed seeing my running friends and playgroup girls. It was a nice time to get away for a little while. I didn't know I had such weird stuff in my purse until the shower. The food was great and Ashley's cakes always turn out great! Thank you for everyone who sent a little something we really appreciate it. I got the new clothes washed tonight. It seems as of now we are more prepared than with Clara with clothes washed and a room ready. We still have a few things that need done. I go to the Dr. on Tues again. Hopefully my blood pressure isn't any higher. As of last week I am 3cm dilated.

Brian and Clara had lots of fun too at the parts store and Lowe's. At the parts store Clara got a basket ans loaded it up with random stuff while Brian picked out windshield wipers. Then at Lowe's he was lucky enough to take her to the Men's bathroom. They gave the dog a bath and watched a movie.

Early Fall Pictures

Here are pictures from the end of September to now. Two weekends ago we went to Summerbash on base. They had rides for the kids and food. Clara had a fun time and didn't want to leave. This last week Colleen was in town and we were busy doing many different things. We went to Ikea in Atlanta and bought Calvin's crib and changing table. Brian and Colleen got most of it built the night we got home. Clara enjoyed helping too. Brian also made a fun waterslide for him and Clara and they enjoyed doing that one afternoon. Yesterday we went to Lane's for Playgroup and the kids had fun playing and eating ice cream. We went to a carshow this morning. Brian and Clara seem to have enjoyed it. Now Brian and Clara are putting new tires on Brian's bike so he can go trail riding tomorrow.
