Welcome Miles

We are so happy to present our son, Miles Oliver Barnes. Miles was born on September 27th at 7:55 am. At birth Miles weighed 7lb 3oz and measured just over 20" long. All 3 of us have quickly fallen for this little man. It's incredible how he just fits right in to our lives as though he was missing all along. Piper is adjusting very well and seems to harbor no jealous feelings toward her little brother (yet). She wants to hold him regularly and kiss him often.

Two healthy kids. One pretty great husband. What more can I say except my cup is overflowing.

Princess Piper

Our lives have been so focused on unpacking and preparing for baby number 2, that Piper and I needed a fun mom-daughter activity. Last week we made some scrumptious red velvet cupcakes, which get me all revved up for autumn.

My patient sister-in-law has been waiting and waiting for some pictures of our new house, so here is a staring point. Piper is playing princess in her new room, which she seems to be very happy in.

Tomorrow is a big day, the birthday of our son. We are so excited to meet him and to introduce him to you all very soon.

ONE MORE WEEK!

If you weren't aware baby Piper had to be removed via cesarean section. While that wasn't ideal, it gave us the option to have scheduled babies. Our little guy will be joining us a week from today at approximately 8am. We are so looking forward to meeting him and surprisingly Broc and I are feeling rather relaxed about the whole thing. I guess we've been given a dose of that peace that passes understanding. We are still unsure about a name and have no solid leads, which leaves us all with an element of surprise. Piper talks about meeting her brother soon and what a good sister she will be.

We are almost completely unpacked and feeling pretty settled in. More to come on that this week.
