Greetings! Cara Ann was born on June 23, 2008. She weighed in at a perfect 7 lbs 8 oz. What a blessing she's been from the very beginning! Some of Cara's favorite things to do were cuddle under mommy's arm and EAT! She also liked sleeping on her belly...so this made mommy nervous knowing that experts recommend laying infants on their backs to sleep. But we made the choice to monitor her closely as she snoozed tummy side down. Mom, Dad, and big brother Adam could not be more proud of her. She is well on her way to becoming the most beautiful person- inside and out! Hopefully this will be a place for family and friends, who might not get to see Adam and Cara as much as they would like, to see updated news and pictures of our clan.
The first month Cara was home we spent a lot of time learning how to organize and manage having two kids! Adam did really well. He didn't pay Cara much attention, but was just glad to have dad home. Jesse did a lot of playing with Adam. They went swimming almost every day. Mom and Cara did what they do best...cuddle and eat! We learned quickly how thankful we are for each other. Single parenting must be the hardest job on earth.
Thankfully, we had tons of visitors. And they usually came bearing gifts of food for mommy and daddy. I think we had meals provided for us for at least two weeks. What a blessing our friends were. Also, Grandma and Grandpa, were always willing to lend a hand, so mommy and daddy could get some much needed rest. Cara was still waking up every two hours in the night, which made for 'zombie' days for the first two weeks. Grammy and JoJo(Sherry's mother) came and stayed as well, giving more support and love. Adam fell in love with JoJo and sadly she went to be with the Lord on September 4, 2008. He still asks to see JoJo..."someday" we tell him.
Children are a gift of the Lord...Psalm 127:3
