Happy Halloween

Kaden

To make sure that Kaden came home healthy he had to stay a few extra days. Luckily, we were able to stay at the hospital with him until he came home on Friday.

Our new little family

Isn't he cute?

Kaden had to have an IV to recieve antibotics. To protect the IV we wrapped his hand in a diaper. Doesn't he look like a little boxer?

Dad and Kaden

Kaden loves to hang out with his dad!!!

Kaden has arrived!!!!

Our beautiful little boy was born this morning at 4:04 am. His name is Kaden Mark Caldwell. He weighs 8 lbs. 4 oz., and is 21 1/2 inches long. He is already a ladies man, being that he is the only male in the nursery right now. He has his Mom's hair and his Dad's nose.

Catch Up

No baby yet, but I have officially started my maternity leave, leaving time to update the blog. Here are a few things we've been up to:

Mark carved his first pumpkin for the year.

The culprits.

They're pretty good sports to make faces like these.

I debated posting this one. But what the heck - 39 weeks and a million pounds heavier.

We finished the baby's nursery.

I sewed the valance.

My family, Mark's family, and my work all threw us baby showers.

We feel so blessed to have such great friends, family, and support!

You had to hang clothes on a clothes line while holding a baby and talking on a cell phone.

We went to bear lake over Labor Day.

It was pretty funny to watch mark try to drive something with a clutch.

The sea snake.

Mark stripped and re-stained the deck.
