the scoop

I have found that I am not very good at regularly sending photos of Kason, so hopefully you will all save this to your favorites and check in on us periodically.

As you all know Karl and I were thrilled to welcome an addition to our family on August 25. Kason Moseley was born at 4:18 a.m. weighing 7 lbs. and 14 oz. and was 19 1/2 in. long. He is now approaching 8 weeks and close to 10 lbs. He has been a great baby!

Kason's Nana and Big John set out for Virginia as soon as we were convinced he was on his way. Unfortunately, their flight was delayed and then cancelled, so they didn't get here until the afteroon. It worked out for the best. The pace has slowed down by then! We had a great visit. They stayed for a week and Uncle Jeremy came on Friday for the weekend. We were very sad to see them all go!

At 6 weeks Kason and I took a trip to Arkansas. It was sooooooooo much fun. We surprised Uncle Jonathan, Aunt Natalie, and Cousin Cantley. Kason was introduced to all 11,000 people in Magnolia, AR and about 100 others from the corner of the state. He visited his Virgil and Gram and Nana and Big John had "Open House" so that they could show him off. Cantley was a great big cousin. She poked him and rubbed his head (hard) and spoke so sweetly to her "little man." Very cute. She shared her toys and poured him "milk" from all of her tea sets.

We feel like we have reached a milestone this week. Kason can now spend time on his own playing on the floor or in his swing. He loves spending time with his dad when he wakes up in the morning. They just laugh and laugh.

As for Karl and I, there is little to tell. We don't sleep a lot, but it doesn't seem to bother us too much any more. Karl has been busy with the Orange and Blue World Series. I spend my days with Kason and have started doing a little work from home this week.

For now, we are looking forward to his baptism on November 4th and all of our visitors! (FYI - the baptism will be at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church following the 11:30 a.m. mass. Afterwards, we will host a celebration at our house. All are invited!)
