Dimples!

This isn't the best picture but I wanted everyone to see the dimples in his cheeks. Cute!

DD and Big Daddy come to visit

DD (Betsy coined this name for Mama) and Big Daddy came to visit this past week. They were very helpful......cleaning, cooking dinner, etc...

What a serious face!

1 Week Old

Here is Sam at one week......his skin has cleared up a little and his face is starting to fill out.

A close-up!

Isn't he cute?

Look at those cute feet!

Sam arrives....FINALLY!

So, at about 4am on Friday July 11th my water broke and Doug and I headed to the hospital. They started pitocin and the contractions came on fast and strong. Then came the epidural....sweet relief! At about 5pm I was finally able to start pushing and at 6:38pm Sam came into the world. He was perfect dispite the minor complications. My midwife and doctor had to use the vacuum to try and turn him around (he was trying to come out face up) and then his shoulder got caught up under my pubic bone. But none the less, he was great. He weighed 8lbs 4ozs and was 20 1/4 inches long. Doug then followed him down to the nursery to take pictures while they cleaned him up. Check out the serious conehead!

Corbin's new floors

We finally got the floors done in the Corbin property......this is a picture of them with only one coat of polyurethane. The final buff and application of another coat of poly will done soon. It's a far cry from what it used to look like, huh?
