Turtle!

We had a special visitor in our yard today--a turtle! I think Keith and I were more excited than the kids, though! Of course LC ran right up to it and roughly picked it up. O on the other hand, liked to talk to it, but wouldn't get near it. Hence the picture of him running away from the scary turtle! 

He would only get close to it when it was in his box! 

The boys are now on their way to relocate Mr. Turtle to Crabtree Creek, where O is sure he will be reunited with his family. Hopefully he'll be happier there than in our backyard! 

Summer style

Sporting their hats and shades in the backyard today! And yes, that is a broom Olson is holding! 

Another sleepy afternoon

I promise she doesn't spend ALL of her time in her rocker! But she just looks so sweet when she's asleep! And is she trying to pop her collar?? Already our little prepster. 

Sisters

Liddy Costen loves her little sister! She tried to take Mary Carson's binky from her, but then realized she had her own. She just stood there and smiled and laughed at the baby! So cute!

And someone thinks the rocker is still hers!!

She's a Carson, all right

Just look at that sweetness sleeping with her mouth open! She sure comes by that naturally!! 

National Donut Day

We may or may not have taken advantage of this day to introduce the kids to Krispy Kreme. 

Needless to say, they both had clean plates! Too bad they have to wait until donut day 2015 to have another! ;)

And just so she doesn't feel left out...here's a pic of the baby...snoozing away.

First few days...

We are home and getting settled into life as a family of 5! The kids are sweet to Mary Carson, and Olson likes to offer her his milk when it's time for her to eat. Liddy Costen just smiles at her and says "Hi baby"! Here are a few photos from the last couple of days...

Meeting his new sister...

She's a keeper!

Getting ready to go home!

First night at home...

Daddy snuggling with his girls...

It's a Girl!

Sweet baby Nelms #3 made her debut Tuesday, June 3 at exactly 6pm! She weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. We are still deciding on her name, but wanted to get a couple of pictures posted in the meantime! She is a sweetie!!
