Carson's First Few Days

Carson and I stayed in the hospital for 3 days. We checked out on Thursday afternoon and have been in rest and recovery mode since we've been home. We had a few visitors while at the hospital. Carson has quite the fan club already and his sisters are his number 1 groupies.

Abigail can't get enough of her new baby brother.

Grandpa Del visited us on Day 2.
Carson is now Del and Mary Ellen's newest grandchild at number #19.

Grandma Mimi came to the hospital twice to see her new grandson.

The hospital pacifier was almost as big as his face.

This is my favorite picture of Carson thus far. He doesn't open his eyes often, I just happened to catch him at the right moment. Such a handsome little guy!

In this picture I was soaking in the fact that I am now a mother of four children. Lucky Me!

NOT LOVING THE CAR SEAT!

I will be spending much of the next few days in bed and the girls were eager to pretend to be my nurses. They have been so excited to have Carson and I home and such good helpers. Emily and Abigail even pretended to change shifts.

Such handsome Ralphs Men!

The girls were so excited to come to the hospital for the first time, they had a hard time taming their excitement.

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
