My cousin Jennifer is a wonderful photographer, so I asked her to come over and take some shots for Cason's announcements. I won't include the one we're actually mailing out, but here are a few of the others.
Here are a few pictures I took of Cason around the house...yes, I know he has a lot of hair. :)
So it was Cason's first Easter and even though he's only 7 weeks old, I thought he should still dress the part. What is more appropriate on Easter than a denim collared outfit and a v-neck sweater? Luckily he slept most of the time he had it on. We went to my cousin Ricky's house for the annual Easter egg hunt, and then to Ryan's dad's house, and then to his mom's house. Cason had a busy day! Since he's not able to eat candy, the Easter Bunny brought him some clothes. Well, it's what I would've wanted anyway. Doesn't he have the sweetest smile?
We celebrated Adriana's first birthday the other weekend. She wasn't too sure about all of us gathered around staring at her, but she ended up loving her cake after we sang happy birthday. Happy birthday Adriana!
Scott was babysitting Autumn for the first time while Emily was gone so he walked over to our house with her. I couldn't resist taking a picture of Scott and Ryan with the babies...never thought I would see the day. Emily leaves for a short time and look what Scott dresses her in...she's ready for her first hunt already!
Michelle's birthday was March 9th so we went to dinner that Saturday. It was only the second time we had left Cason with Nana and Papa so we missed him terribly! We ate dinner and then went back to their house to play the Wii. Our wild nights are officially over, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
It was semi-nice outside one day last week so we decided to take a walk in the neighborhood. I knew Sabyl was ready to get out of the house too, so we bundled Cason up and went walking. He seemed to like his stroller because he slept the whole time we were gone!

He's finally here! After much waiting (and a little help from being induced), our little Cason came to us on Tuesday the 5th at 9:49pm. He weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. He was a little bigger than we expected! Everything went great at the hospital and we were so blessed to have all of our family and friends there with us. Everyone stuck it out until midnight to meet Cason, even though it was a work-night. It meant a lot to us to have everyone there. Thank you to everyone who came and to everyone who had us in their thoughts and prayers. They say you will never know a love greater than loving a child and I can honestly say it's true. It happens the minute they come into the world and you see their sweet, helpless little face. We love him so much already! Sabyl was a little jealous and confused when we first brought him home, but her confusion has turned more maternal. I think she's gotten up out of bed for every feeding and diaper change that we have. She's been just as exhausted too, taking naps every afternoon.
The outfit that Cason came home in was the same outfit Ryan came home in when he was born. It looks a bit out of season, but Ryan was born in Arizona in June and it was 112 degrees the day he came home. We just made sure we bundled peanut up before we got him outside.
