Asher Elliott Calkins

Mr Asher Elliott Calkins arrived last night at 10:18 pm on 2/10/12 He weighed in at 6 pounds 12 ounces and 19 inches long, with the cutest light brown fuzzy hair!

I wish we were in Texas and could snuggle his cute little self but so far we are enjoying him via picture messages :) Caroline ended up having a c-section last night after a long induction dealing with pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes. She's a trooper for getting through it all with little to no sleep.

Asher is perfect and so thankful he arrived safe and sound! They have been wanting kids for years, thats one of the first things I learned about them when I met Dan. As soon as I saw them, I remember thinking how cute their kids would be! 4 1/2 years after meeting Dan I'm so thankful Asher is finally here!

ALSO I'm very excited that my brothers wife, Kate, is expecting their first by the end of August!!! I can hardly stand it, I'm so excited! This will be our first niece or nephew on my side of the family. Kate is 11 weeks right now and I'm SO looking forward to finding out if we will be getting our 1st niece or our 3rd nephew :)

Only 2 weeks at most till we leave for AZ!!! I'm so excited, I didn't even realize it was that close!! AH

Owen Matthew Calkins

We can now go by Uncle Dan and Aunt Brittany!! Our sister in law Kandace had Owen this morning at 3:29!

Kandace's due date was exactly a month after mine I always thought it would be fun if they would be born a month apart! So here we are, Ava's birthday is March 15th and Owen's is April 15th!!

Owen is 8lbs 8oz and 19 inches long! He looks a lot like his dad!

These are both cell phone pics but I think Ava and Owen look alike even if no one else thinks so! I think they have the same chubby cheeks and lips! I love these babies so much!
