Family of 4!!

Sorry for the neglect for everyone who frequents the blog. Our newest big news is of course Connor Ray has arrived!! He came on September 10th at 5:08 P.M. weighing in at 8 pounds even and measured 19.5 inches long. Delivery was a walk in the park compared to Cali, and it only lasted 9 hours versus 19. Nicole only pushed for 3-4 contractions and we had a new baby. They are doing well and Nicole's recovery has been better than expected.







Cali is also doing well as she turned 1 on August 20th. Apparently she had to feel old enough to walk because on day 366, she started walking and has been terrorizing the house ever since! We did have a big birthday party for her and as you see from the pictures below, she had a great time with her very own cake made by one of our friends.







As for the two babies getting along, Cali seems not to care too much so far. She will want to be held more if she sees us paying more attention to him but so far just stealing his pacifier seems good enough.
For the house, we haven't worked on the basement at all and dont plan on it for some time but we did finally get gutters put up and got the driveway paved and thanks to advice from Uncle Jim, we opted for a circular drive!!
