Carrie Anne Miles was born at 12:10 am on 10/2/2009.  She weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 inches long.  Mommy and baby are doing great!

Be warned, the pictures are full size once you click on them so you will have to scroll around to find the close button in the bottom right corner of the popup.

So, if any of you are still out there reading the blog, you will notice that I have updated the theme.  I was waiting for something to finish copying and I have a new tool that lets me generate basic themes really quickly so I built the new theme quickly one night and have decided to debut it.

For those of you who want to keep closer track of what we are doing, Jeff is on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn and Mandy is on Facebook.

For the photo people…here are a few pictures…be prepared, there are a lot of them…enjoy!  (no, there are not two pictures missing, WordPress screwed up the alignment.)

I think I have mentioned this before, but Caleb’s first sentence was “I need a puppy.” Well, while we were in St. Louis for Mother’s Day we found the puppy we had been looking for.  His name is Buster and he is a soft coated wheaten terrier.  Take a look at the boy and his dog below (click the picture to see the full size image).

I know it has been a long time since I posted and I have a bunch of great Caleb pictures to show you as well as a little surprise for those of you who haven’t been paying attention to us on Facebook or MySpace…Mandy is pregnant again. She is currently due on 10/7/2009 (1 day before her 30th birthday)…

The last few weeks have been crazy…Mandy figured it out, she has been in the car for over 60 hours in the last 2.5 weeks. First was a friend’s wedding in Virginia that we drove to from Madison, second was Penny’s cancer visit last week for Mandy, then another friend got married in Iowa so we drove there, and finally Penny’s funeral this week. We are ready to stick around the house for awhile.

The funny thing is that it is our anniversary today and when I asked Mandy what she wanted to do for our anniversary, she said “sleep!” I don’t blame her…poor woman, during her first trimester she usually has to go to bed around 8 or 9, the last 2 weeks she has been going to bed after midnight most nights. I don’t care if she sleeps for the next week…she deserves it.

Anyway, on to the pictures, the first ones are random pictures.  In May Caleb and I are in a friend’s wedding and we got Caleb’s suit the other day so we decided to have him try it on…Hopefully you enjoy the pictures…have a great week…

Mommy's little helper

Caleb decided to try on one of his hats...he likes wearing it the way daddy does sometimes...
