Introducing our new arrival!!

This time it was the real thing. Cassidy was born Aug 16th at 11:53 pm. She weighed
6lbs and 5 oz., and was 19 1/2 inches long! She is absolutely perfect!! Beautiful, and you can feel her spirit so strong! The veil is thin when you bring a little one into the world! she came to us right from God! We love her so much and would do anything for her!!

Aug 14th continued

3 Cent dilated and contractions 3 min apart. However it was just a false alarm.

Aug 14th

The Iowa state fair!

Last few days before Medical School classes begin

We scored some free tickets to go see the Iowas cubs. It was a lot of fun! However, it seemed a little weird not having family with us at a baseball game. We did not end up staying the whole time, but when we did go the cubs were wasting the other team. GO IOWA CUBS!! I am such a nerd! :-)
We decided to try out the local canoing. It was five dollars to rent a canoe for a half hour, so we decided to give it a try and it was totally worth it. The lake is beautiful, and their was a light breeze. It was still way hot with the humidity and we felt like jumping in. We get so much rain here! In the last picture we took it from the canoe and it shoes the water flooding up into the park bench and trash can.

baby update

So we went to the ultrasound and the doctor said everything is great!! she currently weighs 5 pounds and 12 oz. and she has a full head of hair!! I thought she was going to be bald, but I was very wrong!! :-) I am now dilated to 2 cent. and effaced 70 %!
Carl had his first day of orientation for med. school, and said it went really well. They had a family BBQ after that was tons of fun, and of course free food! We really are loving Iowa, but we miss you all very much!!! cant wait to see you guys!!! Love ya all!!!
