Baby Carter Has Arrived
On Friday around 3 PM April 17th Carter Raymond Henry was born weighing 8 lbs 2 oz. Molly went into labor late Thursday night while I was on an overnight in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fortunately for me but not for her, babies don't seem to like to come out of her easy so I managed to fly back with plenty of time to spare for Carter to come into the world. He was a bit fussy eating for the first couple of days but is doing well now. Molly is also recovering at home and is feeling pretty good but still very swollen and hates our stairs. Unfortunately Caitlyn had a cold so we couldn't bring to the hospital while Molly and Carter were recovering but she was very excited to see them when they got home.
Rogers Canyon Hike
My friend Ryan and I disobeyed my wife (who was something like 10 months pregnant) and went hiking in a remote part of the superstitions in a place called Rogers Canyon that does not have cell phone coverage. It was a nice 9 mile hike round trip to an old native American cliff dwelling which was amazingly preserved for being 400 years old. Fortunately I did not miss the birth of my first born son so I will live to hike again.
Caitlyns 3rd Birthday
This year we celebrated Caitlyns third birthday at home with a few friends and lots of family. We had used her birthday as an excuse to buy a swing set for the backyard which she has been on pretty much everyday since she got it. She also got a bike. The bike has removable pedals so she can scoot on it to learn balance before riding. This sounded like a good idea, unfortunately she has enough sense to know it should have pedals on it and keeps asking for the pedals.
