Our newest addition

After a little drama around 29 weeks (a night in the hospital and a week on bedrest), the due date finally approached for our new baby.  I was due on March 30, but was a little worried I'd have a baby when Dan went out of town to interview at BYU.  But, Dan went out of town, returned, and 3 days later we woke up and immediately headed to the hospital after some unexpected bleeding.  We arrived at the hospital at 8:00 am and at 8 cm.  At 10:34, our little guy was born.  I had been trying to mentally prepare myself to have a totally natural birth with no pain killers and was so happy to accomplish my goal.  I don't know that I would try it again, but at least I can check it off of my list of things to do in my lifetime.  He's an absolutely perfect and beautiful baby.  We're so thrilled to have him in our family.

 Sweet little boy!

 Aunt Latisha came over from Panama City for a few hours to meet the new little guy.

 Eric and daddy.

 Jeffrey has turned into the baby photographer - don't know why he took a picture of Eric's head.

 My parents brought some very welcomed help...what would we do without family??

 Lots of love for the little guy.

Camping at the Florida Caverns

During Dan's spring break, we decided to go camping at the Florida Cavern's State Park. We figured March was the perfect time in Florida for the weather to not be too hot or too cold - but we were wrong.  The lows were in the 30's the night that we camped and we were all VERY cold. But despite the cold, we had a really fun time with two families who came with us.

 The next morning we went into the caverns (Dan stayed out with Andrew).  Here are some of the stalactites we saw.

 Caitlyn wasn't so impressed with the caves.  The novelty quickly wore off and she was ready to head out.
