Welcome Carli Paije Brunson

Yes, I put the middle name in there for my benefit! I am honored to have a namesake... I got to assist due to the fact that Parri's husband, John, had major knee surgury just a few weeks ago. We were all proud that he didn't pass out or anything! She arrived a little after 7 pm last night after about 6 hrs. of labor and hard work (ok mostly on Parri's part) and I had to tear myself away at around 10 to go home. I took the kids over today after school to see her, they are all enamored! Isn't she beautiful??

The infamous Dr. Shaw!

Thanksgiving

This is the only pic I actually got taken while we were in Idaho for Thanksgiving. Despite the long drive in a short weekend, we had a great time. It's so fun to see all of Tom's extended family and catch up. This pic is of us with Tom's Grandma Sagers. It was a little bittersweet, I think we were all missing Tom's Grandpa Moe, who passed away this last year, that day. The food was delicious and the company even better! (We guesstimated that there were probably about 70 of us there that day! and we were missing alot of people!)

Welcome Twins Addison and Andrew!

I stole these pics from Jennie's blog-- they are so adorable and we even got to video chat with Mom and babies shortly after their birth. I love technology (insert Kip voice from Napolean Dynamite!) Congratulations Jennie, Josh, Evan and Brayden!!!
