Karlies first day of preschool #3

Karlie loves going to Mrs. Amys preschool. She was so excited to go. It was torture when Crystal was able to start school, and Karlie had to wait another two weeks. When I went to take her in, she said, "Momma you don't  need to take me in. I am big now and I can do it myself." It made me realize how big and independent my Bugga is getting.

Brysons First Tub Bath

Brysons first tub bath was a total turn around from is sponge bath. We were so excited that his umbilical cord fell out and we were finally able to put him in the tub. He absolutely loved it. He jus layed there and looked around the whole time. Bath time will be a lot more pleasant now.

Bryson is 1 week old!!!

We have been blessed to add another beautiful child to our family. He is such a good baby, and so much fun. He has learned how to smile already and is such a sweet boy. He has his daddy and his sisters wrapped around his little finger.

 



Brysons First Bath

The evening we got home with Bryson, the girls were so excited to help with his bath. We could only give him a sponge bath because of his umbilical cord, and he hated it. It is just so hard to keep them warm. Karlie helped with the lotion, and Crystal helped get him dressed.

 

 

Finally Home!!!

After we got to Payson we went to the school to pick up Crystal. When she got into the van, she was so excited to see Bryson. Then we headed home. It was so wonderful to be home. Both Karlie and Crystal were so excited to have time to hold him. They love their little brother.

Getting ready to leave the hospital

On Tuesday August 21st, we finally got to leave the hospital. Crystal started school that day and she was so sad to go to school instead of the hospital. Karlie came up with Charles to wait until they could release Bryson and I. We had to wait to go home until Dr. Behrmann could come and do the circumcision. But, until that time, Karlie felt that it was her job to hold him. She held him for over an hour and loved it. They are going to be best friends.Finally at 2:00pm They were ready to let us go home and start a new chapter of our lives.

Such Proud Sisters



Crystal and Karlie stayed at Aunt Shannons whileMom and Dad were at the hospital. We called them Sunday evening at 5:00 PM to tell them there brother had come. They sounded so excited!! Karlie had been asking me every doctors appointment if we were going to get the baby out. When I talked to her she said, "He finally came out!! The doctor finally took him out!!" It was so cute. They finally came to see him on August 20th in the evening. They were so excited to hold him. The looks on their faces were priceless.
