Baby Carter

Well, we are going to try to be better with the blogging (how many times have we said that??). I want to try to use this to keep the fam and friends updated with our goings-on, especially since we will be a little farther away than we already are. I wanted to go ahead and post some pictures and info about our new addition.

In case someone is possibly not in the loop, BABY CARTER HAS ARRIVED!

We couldn't be more thrilled with our little guy and we love him more than we can say. After about 60 hours of labor and a c-section, he made his debut ( I will spare all of the details). We were lucky enough to have most of our immediate family here to witness the special day.
The last two weeks have been life changing and we can't imagine our life without him now! We
were lucky enough to have my (Amy's) mom and sister here for about the first week and they helped make the transition so much easier. We are so thankful for both of their help!



As many of you know we are also gearing up to move to Lowell, Michigan a week from today for Jon's new position as youth pastor at Impact Church. Saying goodbye to people here in Warsaw has been difficult, but we are excited for what God has in store as we join the ministry team in Lowell. We have been slowly but surely trying to get our house packed up. We still have not sold our house here, so we will be living in an apartment until we are able to sell the house.
It is going to be interesting to downsize to a 2 bedroom apartment after having our house here that we have loved so much, but we realize it is just for a season.

We have adjusted to life with a newborn and are loving it. Hard to believe he is already almost two weeks old! We have been enjoying our time together as a family of 3. We are going to try to get pictures of him in the same spot as he grows so we can compare and go, "I can't believe he was ever that small!" :) This picture is him at 10 days old with his bud Barkley licking his foot!
We also took him out on a walk with Barkley for this first time this past week.

Well we will try to keep this updated! We have a busy week coming up with the move. Please remember us in prayer as we make this next transition!

Cute! Hope your move goes well (sad that you're leaving just as we come back to the area!). Didn't know you had a blog. :) If you write it, I will read. Take care!
