:: Carving my first Pumpkin ::

(Brogan saying dad in sign language- we've been working on this one!)

Well we didn't have time to carve Brogan's pumpkin while Buddy was home, so we did it on Thursday night before Halloween... I know way to procrastinate :) but as I said before we have been SUPER busy lately!

Brogan wasn't too sure about this whole pumpkin thing, so he had to use his 5 sense's to figure this one out! I'd say he applied it pretty well! take a look
First we'll use touch- with one hand
Then the other hand...

Hmm, I wonder which of the senses we are going to use next...

OHH yes.. smell we'll try and see if our head will fit in the hole... hahaLets see we still haven't figured this thing out... what else can we do?
Oh yes... Taste.... :)

Here's a video too!


Brogan was putting everything in his mouth so he couldn't play with the guts, but we settled for the spoon ...

Buddy was really upset that he couldn't make it home for this holiday, so we decided to make a Daddy pumpkin!! Complete with the side smile that Brogan and him share :) We love you Buds!!



Tomorrow is the Big day!!

::Introduction::

Although his life was unplanned Brogan has brought so much joy to ours. We found out we were pregnant May 21st, 2007, and what a shock that was. Looking back on that time now, as i look into his big blue eyes, I don't think we ever could have known what happiness he would bring with his arrival. I worked right up until my water broke at 4:40pm on January 15th. My heart was beating so fast as Buddy met me at my house (after i had to call and pull him out of an interview to let him know it was "TIME", he got the phone call he had wanted! Since I was scheduled to have an induction on the Thursday following and we both really wanted it to happen naturally. We got to the hospital between 6 and 6:30 and i was dilated to 5. After I got the epidural around 8:30 -9 I dilated to 10 within the hour, but was so numb that I could not feel my contractions to push. Poor Brogan was stuck there for another 3 hours with his head just trying to come out! We turned down the epidural, and when I could feel enough to push, it only took 1 hour and our baby boy was delivered into this world by his Daddy and Grandma Wood at 1:51 am on January 16th 2008. Grandma R and Aunt Chelsea and Aunt Brooke were also there to share that special moment and capture it with photographs and video. The rest of the family came in shortly after. What an amazing experience this has been...
