Sleeping...

Over half the day is spent sleeping... I wish nights were the same way.  :P

Adorable...

Snuggling after bathtime... what more can I say besides "adorable"?

The Storms

We had quite a winter storm here last night. Kara loves winter and didn't want to miss any of the storm so she decided to keep us up for over two hours of the storm last night. Thanks to her we got to see it from around 3:30 till 5:30. Sadly we didn't get to hear the wind howling or the ice clinking against the glass... her fussing kinda drowned out all those noises. Oh well, I'm sure there will be more storms; and we'll be sure to greet them all with a smile!

Aunt Rachael loves to babysit

Well, I'm back to singing in the choir now (YAY!!!) and I asked Ben's sister Rachael to watch Kara for us since both of us sing in the choir. Rachael was more than happy to watch Kara for us. Yes, I did have separation anxiety even though I knew Kara was in good hands. This was Kara's first time with a sitter. Anyway, when Rachael brought her to church after our practice, Kara had this adorable bow in her hair. Ben isn't so sure he likes it, but I sure do. Aunt Rachael had fun with Kara and can hardly wait till next Sunday. I'm so thankful for our family!

Kara loves her Daddy

If no one else can soothe her when she's fussy, it's time to pass her to daddy. More than once he's calmed her down when even mommy couldn't. Kara loves to hear his voice telling her it's ok... daddy's got her. Ben is her hero!

We're Home!!!

They released us today from the hospital... Yay!!! Aubrie is still pretty sore but happy to be home. Kara is doing great. God's blessed us with a very easy baby and we're just so proud of her. Each time we hold her, it's a miracle to think she is really ours. God is just so good.

Baby Kara Hope

Kara Hope was born today at 5:39 PM.  She was 7 pounds 14.7 ounces, 21 inches long.  Kara decided to flip around during labor, so she was trying to come out butt first.  Aubrie was rushed into surgery to have a C-section.  Baby and Mom are doing good.  Pictures should be up tonight with more pictures in the following days.
