3 Months

This sweet boy is already 3 months old. Totally insane to me! He wore his daddy's baby clothes for this picture. So special!

Karson is the BEST baby! At 3 months, he weighs 13 lb 5 oz and eats about 4-4 1/2 ounces at a time. He sleeps through the night sometimes, but sometimes gets up to eat just once. He takes really good naps and is super easy to get to sleep. He smiles, laughs, and rolls over.

This little guy has my heart...I just want to stop time with him.

Karson's Baptism

Karson's baptism took place on January 11, 2015. He was 3 months old. He wore his dad's baptism outfit, plus a sweater, because it was quite cold!

Kris' family from Iowa came to visit. Kale and Liam loved spending time with their cousin, Scarlett. I love this picture of all of them!

Our attempt at a family photo...

The senior pastor, David Dwight, at Hope Church baptized Karson.

Karson did a great job and actually slept until the cold water was sprinkled on his head.
His little lip trembled when the cold water touched his head, but he held it together!
Our pastor did a wonderful job with the baptism. I love how our church asks the parents to reaffirm marriage vows before baptism. I also love the pledge from the church.



After the baptism, we celebrated with a family dinner at a local restaurant.
Several of my good friends and their families attended the baptism. It was so special to have these women there supporting me.




My girlfriends and some of our kiddos. We were all pregnant at the same time, so we have doubled our number of children recently. It is chaotic when we get together but so worth it!

Kale's Christmas Program

Kale had his Christmas program at school right before break. The program was so cute! He was a shepherd.

The children did a great job reenacting the Christmas story. The program was short--only 7 minutes, but the kids had short lines and sang a few quick songs.

The wise men are triplets and happen to be Kale's best friends at school. Bless their momma!

I was hoping to upload the video of the program, but it was much too long. Watching the way the kids handled the baby Jesus was hilarious. They were none too gentle.
