1 whole month old!

Our baby boy has been with us for exactly one month, 4 weeks that is. He's enjoying alot of first time stuff - like walks and baths and meeting all kinds of people. He's starting to make little goo ga'ing noises:). We're having an awesome time figuring him out and getting to know him.

Carson and fam

Carson Cole Vermilyea

Wednesday morning at 2 am is when it all started. Stacey was feeling contractions very early that day, so we knew that something was happening. After wating things out a bit, we went in to the hospital around noon, and by then things were pretty far along. After some hard work, great persistence and determination, we met our son Carson at 4:20 pm that same day. As you can see, he's the cutest boy... ever. More to come, but for now here's a bunch of pics.

So so Much

Life - going by at 100 miles an hour, and here we are only appprox. 5 weeks or less away from the babe's coming.

Last night was our first baby shower. The girls were communicating with the baby by way of morse code (not really). Other than that, we've been quite busy getting the house and and such ready for him also. We repainted the living room and we are still in the process of painting the nursery this weekend, here's the living room.

Our church softball team has been an exciting addition to our summer.
This is the "wound" that I inflicted to myself a few weeks ago. I dove to home plate; and yet we still lost that game.

Time with friends and family is always a big part of our lives... one of our friends referred to hot tubs as human soup, hmm.
We hope that all of you, wherever you are, are having a great summer.

Rewind

I came across this picture - It was taken during our first unofficial date. One sunny October afternoon in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, we enjoyed the grass, among other things, it was our junior year at BBC. That same evening I went to the church that Stacey was attending at the time, and I, so attractively, dozed off during the service... And here we are almost 6 years later; approximately 9 months from the birth of a baby BOY. wow.

'been a While

Apologies- life gets crazy, and then you don't get to update your blog:). Well, Stacey just entered her 3rd trimester, so we have less than 3 months to go.

We cleared out our office, which is going to the baby's home. We'll keep you up to date on the progress that we make on the room.

My cousin Katie got married this past weekend and we had a good old time on the... oh yes, dance floor, even the pregnant one.

We always make the most of our time with the fam, whether in Buffalo, Quebec, Toledo, and the Southern states, by the way, if we haven't seen you in a while, we miss you.

We're having a great time at church, as we watch it grow and see God working in so many peoples' lives. I (Ben) am playing in our softball team - pics are on the way.

Well, once again we hope you all are doing great! We hope to see each and every one of you soon Bye for now
