Avery Brian Turpin Pics!

Avery Brian Turpin- Born October 11th at 7:11am: 7lbs 15 oz 20 in. long

On Saturday morning at 12:30 am, Amanda's water broke. We had just come back from playing games at our friends house, and we had our good friends Chris & Julie staying the night. With there help, we loaded up and headed to the hospital. Labor seemed to be going alright, but a couple of hours in, the doctors said the baby's heart was dropping and we might need a c-section. However, it started to look a little better, so we thought we wouldn't have to. Later, the his little heart rate kept dropping, and the next thing we knew we were getting ready for the O.R.! In just a few minutes, at 7:11 am on October 11th Avery Brian Turpin made his first cry. It was the most overjoyous experience- we can't even explain how we felt. He weighed in at 7lbs 15oz and was 20 inches long with dishwater blond hair like Brian's. He was born on Amanda's dad, Bret's, birthday.
Even though we weren't expecting a c-section, we are so thankful and exciting that we have little Avery here with us. He is already bringing so much joy into our lives- he is the most precious thing, and even though he's only been here a few days, we can't imagine life without our little Avery Brian.

Halloween FHE

For a Family Home Evening with our good friends Eric & Erica, we carved pumpkins and had pumpkin pie, even though it was only the first Monday in October. We chose to do this awesome picture and it was lots of fun. Our pumpkin hasn't lasted for very long, but we hope to be carving some more quite soon!

Crazy Campers!

This last weekened (September 26-28th) Amanda's family decided to go camping up Scout Mountain. So we decided we would too, even though Amanda is 38 weeks pregnant! Not only that, her brother Richard and sister-in-law Lauren who are due the day after we are, joined us as well. We had lots of fun eating tin foil dinners, as well as a great Dutch Oven dinner one night and lots of homemade Rootbeer! People might say we are a little crazy but we still survived. It was probably our last big outing for a while since our baby boy is coming just around the corner!
