Carter's First Bath at Home

We are sorry we haven't posted any pictures recently. We have been back for two additional hospital stays since we brought Carter home. He seems to be doing pretty well now. It looks like he will be having his heart surgery in June. We will keep you updated when we know more. Things are going pretty well, we are trying hard to find a new normal and hope as long as Carter stays healthy we can find that normal. He is such an angel. He just started to smile last week and is starting to track us with his eyes. It is fun to see that he has started to gain some weight and look healthy. Thank you all for your prayers and love. We appreciate it so much!!


Avery and Ompa and little Carter



Pics of Avery

Avery is living the terrible twos right now. She is also living the fabulous twos. She has melt downs frequently, but then turns around and is the cutest thing ever. She is really into talking on the phone as most little girls are. She's talking to her Aunt Becca here.
Finally her hair is growing longer so we are able to do more with it.
Sarah's daughter Tavie came to play and they had the best time. They played with the kitchen and play food for so long. They were making each other things and they would say please and thank you to each other. IT was great. We are sad that they don't live closer.
Uncle Tyler came to visit last week so he and Brian took Avery out for some fun times.

Coloring Easter Eggs


We went to Grammy and Papa's house to color Easter eggs. It was Avery's first time and she did very well. Carter was good too. He is such a good baby. We basically never hear him cry and he is just so cute and cuddly. We're so blessed to have both of our children.

This is Hannah's Baby Georgia Belle. She is such a cutie!!!

Avery was very gentle when she was stirring, placing, and removing the eggs.

Our Little Ones

Avery was so cute yesterday. She was bringing toys over to Carter and explaining to him how they are used. She is such a good big sister. It doesn't matter how bad of a day she is having she never is mean to "Baby Carter." She loves her little brother so much.


This was the best picture out of the 3 Brian took.
Avery has a thing about not opening her eyes for pictures.
This is his new little hat. It of course doesn't fit but it is still cute.
