Our Special Day

Garrett & Timothy

Yesterday we blessed our new bundle of joy. It was a very special occasion, and we really enjoyed and appreciated all of the family support we received. Timothy was really good all day. He really likes Garrett (and apparently his thumb). Nan crocheted the outfit he wore and it was truly beautiful. I am grateful that Clay can bless our children; it is one of the greatest gifts we can give our new babies.

Wow! We're Tired!

Don't get me wrong, we love our new addition, but having a newborn is a lot of work and a lot of sleepless nights! I am so grateful for Eva, she has turned into quite the older sister/personal assistant. She watches Timothy so that I can take a shower in the morning, and she has gotten really good at answering the phone so that I can sleep in a little bit. Both kids still enjoy their new brother, they fight over who gets to sit by him in the van and they are always asking to hold him.

Nancy is a pro, I feel human again! (She cut and colored my hair)

Welcome Home Timothy Tyler!!

Kd 3 days before delivery -- as big as she got!

Timothy was born at 5:47pm on June 18, 2007. He weighed in at 6lbs. 13ozs. (That's our heaviest so far). He is 21" tall. Kd did a wonderful job delivering Timothy. She went to the birthing center at 12:00pm and was pushing by 5:30pm. She and Timothy are doing just great.

Ten minutes after delivery

First day home!

Barton Family Cousins

Starving baby!

The Umbilical cord was wrapped twice around his neck and once around his foot. However that didn't matter too much. The nurses said that it was the longest cord they had ever seen.

We called the kids to announce the birth of their brother. Eva asked "is he cute?" (are any newborns ever cute?) She was happy but reserved in her reaction. Thomas said, "is the baby here?" and when we responded yes he shouted "yaaaaa!!!.... can we come see him?" I think he was pretty excited.

Living in the Basement

We have been with Mom and Dad for a little over a month and are still working on settling in. It feels great to have all the "projects" at our old house done; now we have to work on all the projects at Mom and Dad's like cleaning out storage rooms, and finding places for all of our junk. We are not total leeches -- Clay got the swamp cooler running last week, and I try to cook dinner most nights. We also buy groceries, and pay utilities. We are really thankful for Mom and Dad's generosity in letting us take over their basement.
I am now in my 9th month of pregnancy and I finally look pregnant not just chubby! The blessing of carrying so small is that I am not quite miserable being pregnant -- if I could just get this kid to stop wedging himself under my right ribcage things would be great! Several months ago for Spring Break we went to Disney on Ice in Salt Lake City. I thought I would share some of those pictures with you now.

So you think we dropped off the map?!

Sorry folks, no pictures in this post. We (and by we I mean Clay) have been working like crazy trying to improve our home so we can sell it. We are officially moved in to Mom and Dad's house. As a result, most of our stuff is still in boxes as we try to sort out what to put where. We are truly grateful for Mom and Dad and their willingness to house us until we find a suitable larger house (of course, we have to sell our old house first).
We moved the first load of stuff to Mom and Dad's on Monday. In between packing, I decided I wanted to show off a quilt Mom made for Eva. I went to the next door neighbors without telling my kids where I was going -- I was only going to be gone a minute I told myself. Well, long story short they discovered I was "missing" when the phone rang and I was not there to answer it and Eva freaked out. She first tried to call her Dad, but he was on the phone with Grandma trying to figure out where I was (because he had just called the house). Next she called Brenda's house. Brenda's son Darin told Eva that his Mom was at work, but he would call her for Eva. Brenda called Grandma and Grandma came to check on the kids. Needless to say, I came home to some pretty distraught kids, and yes, I did learn my lesson I will tell the kids where I am going even if it is only for 5 minutes.
Well things didn't get any better for Eva on Tuesday. The normal routine is that I pick up her and her 2 Johnson cousins when school gets out. I was a few minutes late to get them, but I didn't think that would be a problem because Eva's cousin Sam (or Sam's Teacher) usually keeps us all waiting for 5-10 minutes after school gets out. Well on Tuesday both of Eva's cousins got checked out of school early, which threw Eva off, and then when I wasn't right outside she went into a panic! She hurried back into the school and told the Secretaries that her Mom was not there. They calmly told her to wait 5 minutes and if her Mom wasn't there they would call her (I wonder how many times a day they deal with this same problem with different kids). Eva came out, found me and immediately erupted. Too much change for my Eva (or any kid) can be too much to handle.
