Levi Forrest is FINALLY here!

Here are a few pictures of our new baby boy.

Levi Forrest was born on Sunday, January 11, 2015 at 12:51 pm.  He was 7 pounds 13 ounces and 20 inches long.  We are happy to be home, and everyone is doing wonderful.

Ready to meet this little face

We went to the midwife appointment today to check on how our little one is doing.  I'm a week past the due date, and they wanted to check to be sure the baby is still doing fine.  All tests were good, and we got to see this sweet little baby's heart pumping, lungs moving, and lips puckering.  You can actually see in the pictures below he/she was moving his/her lips.  It was really sweet.  We hope to see our baby's face in person very soon.

Here are a couple pictures of Wyatt with Rob's new trapping basket.  It reminds us of a Native American carrying an infant around.  Wyatt thought it was awesome.

Just trying to have fun and enjoy my almost 4 year old.  I'm glad I can focus some extra time and attention with my sweet boy.

 

 

Merry Christmas 2014

Thank you for all the gifts!  We love being able to celebrate at home this year but miss all our family time!

Wyatt - the little biologist

Robert and Vicky came for their usual visit for the deer hunt at Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge.  Robert and Rob get up ridiculously early and go hunting Saturday and Sunday morning.  It's become a tradition and so far has always ended up with some deer meat in my freezer.

Mean while, Wyatt and I get to spend some time with Granny, and Wyatt gets a little extra spoiled for the weekend.  It also usually falls on my birthday, so I got to have a yummy birthday dinner and cake with candles.

So, Rob ended up with a really nice buck, and Robert got what I love to see because does make better meat for cooking.  Anyway, here are some pics!  Disclaimer:  The last couple of pictures are pretty graphic... Wyatt really enjoyed the whole process of cleaning the deer.

Nursery is Finished!

My many thanks go out to both my wonderful mom and my sweet mother in law.  It's great to have space for Wyatt to call his own and for the new baby to already be pampered with an adorable space.  It's so nice to have all the help and support of family and to finish something important to me.  I hope both of my kids always know how lucky and blessed we are to have family in our lives who love us.  Even though we don't live really close or get to see every one on a regular basis, we always know family is not far.
