Welcome Baby Carter!




Carter Lee arrived July 3rd weighing in at 8 lbs 15 oz, 21 inches long. That was a bit of a shock to his parents (especially mom) since our biggest before him was 7 lbs. He was in NICU for a while with blood sugar regulation issues but quickly overcame and got to come home on time. Since then he's done fantastic with being loved by his siblings (mauled?) and was able to meet additional family who came up over the 4th. Big thanks to Granny and Grandpa Powell who have survived the fires and 116 heat to take care of Carter's parents!

Here are a couple of pictures and I know there will be lots more to follow when I've got more oomph!

Congratulations!! He is a doll! I just want to cuddle him! I love the name Carter, I bet the kids just love him. I'm glad everything went well and he is home, and you are both happy and heathly! Take care of you!
