Introducing...


Baby Gabe has arrived! Gabriel Joshua Dean was born 8/28/08, weighing in at 7 lbs 11 oz. So, we are officially a family of four and so far things are going just great! The surgery went smoothly and I don't know what I would have done without my amazing hubby. I tell ya, it really pays off to have a husband who's a nurse, and a good one at that! My mom is in town helping out for a week (thank goodness), and I just love having a little baby to hold. Bailee too loves to hold Gabe, and gives him lots of hugs and kisses. I know she is going to be a great big sis, a little bossy, but I guess that comes with being the oldest child. ;) Just a quick update, but I thought you'd like to know that we're doing great and looking forward to this new adventure!

I've been waiting for some kind of pictures or announcement forever since you never called me back. :) Well, that and for some odd reason i thought that you were having him a couple weeks ago. Congrats thought, that is sweet. Now that he is here, we'll have to start our traveling business again. Hope to see ya soon. (By the way, guess what? I'm runnin in a half marathon in October!)

Hi I'm Lindsey! said...

CUTE family! Bailee is so adorable and I can't believe how big she is. I know what you mean about having an amazing husband that is a nurse. It makes such a difference. I'm always asking Aaron questions. I'm glad we have your blog again:) Have fun enjoying your new addition. They are such blessings and they grow too fast.

Kar-

I heard that you had your baby and I have been waiting patiently to see him. Gabe is such a great name I like it! He is adorable! Bailee will be an awesome big sister. How are you feeling? That is good that your mom is or was there to help you. Oh I have to say too that 08/28/08 is a fun birth date. Savannah's b-day is 02/28/08 similar...hugh...cool!
Well I miss ya, and I am sending you something so watch for it. Love-Carly
