about us

We're from the Syracuse, NY, area and started dating when we went to BYU-Idaho for college. We were married December 2008 and have a daughter, Sophie. We will be welcoming a new baby in November 2013! We currently live in Mason, Ohio, near lots of family! Drew is working at Liberty Mutual Insurance as an Auto Claims Adjuster. Carissa is now a stay-at-home wife and momma! We know there's more in store for us in our future, and we say, "Come what may and love it!"

TWO weeks!

I can't believe our Sophie is two weeks old already.  Has it been that many days?  I don't think I want to admit how hard it's already becoming to witness my child growing so quickly...  Can we please just slow time down a bit?
As of today, Sophie:
-sleeps 3-4 hours at a time
-keeps Momma and Daddy up most of the night because it has become her "awake time"
-has dark blue/brown eyes, more brown than blue
-smiles when she sleeps
-has been to the hospital for blood tests 5 times since being discharged after birth
-no longer has jaundice!
-loves being cuddled
-wears a hat almost 24 hours/day
-wears preemie clothes
-weighs at LEAST 4 lbs 8 oz!
-is adored by anyone who meets her... "she's so tiny!" is the typical exclamation
-loves having her hands by her face
-had her first "manicure" (nail trimming) last week by Momma
-had her first bath at home last Saturday night/Sunday morning... okay, it was really LATE
-won't keep mittens or socks on her busy little hands
-is not bothered by loud movies, music, or talking
-is a very easy baby!

Sophie, slow down the growing up process, will you?  Momma needs to keep you little for as long as possible.
