Caroline

I was induced on Thursday and Caroline Grace was born on April 26 at 4:39am. She weighed 10lb 7oz and was 21 inches long. Jason and I guessed she would be in the 9lb range, but we weren't too far off! My parents brought Savannah later in the morning, and she was a little wary of the baby, but when she came back later she wanted to hold and hug and kiss Caroline. Clara was ecstatic to come to the hospital after school. Every time the baby would move or make a sound, Clara would say, "She's waking up! She's going to cry!"

When we got home from the hospital Sunday, the girls eagerly descended on Caroline and passed her back and forth a few times before church.

Valley Falls State Park

My parents came into town last week and we actually found somewhere new to take them! Valley Falls was about 40 minutes out of town, and we took a picnic dinner. Savannah calls it a "micmic." The falls were really beautiful, but apparently you can be fined just for touching the water because the currents are so dangerous.

Croquet, conference and bathing suits

I was induced on Thursday and uploaded these pictures early on in the day. We've just been hanging out, enjoying Jason's company. We "played" croquet in the backyard and Clara perfected her bigfoot walk. :) It was pretty cold but Savannah refused to put on pants or socks.
