Sweet Caroline

Sweet Caroline made her debut to the world early early Saturday morning.  Another almost effortless birth as she was born with one push.  This time, however, the Dr. and Chris were both in the room.  Since we thought she was going to be a boy we had no name chosen for her.  Finally about an hour before we checked out of the hospital we chose Caroline.  At 9 lbs she is my biggest baby and she eats like she is out to prove it to the world.  She is adored by her two big sisters and her big brother.  It looks as though her hair might turn light like all her siblings, but for now I enjoy her dark hair.

County Fair 2013

What a blast the county fair was.  Emily started the week off by catching a pig during the pig scramble.  The kids each got several blue ribbons for their entries (cookies, legos, and other items).  Chris and I each won some blue ribbons (canning, rolls, wooden craft items, and others).  It was really fun to show off our entries to everyone.  The kids each entered a chicken which they were able to sell at the end of the fair, so they LOVED that.  They each worked in the ice cream shack and their favorite part was being able to eat free ice cream at the end of their shift.  They entered the pie eating contest and the watermelon eating contest. All in all it was awesome!  I love the county fair.
