Buddy "Baby" Paulus

Carter is practicing for his new baby brother to arrive. His new baby is named buddy...although his 1st choice was to name him Puppy.

He was so excited to feed him the bottle and put him to night night.

Random April Shots

Just a few random shots.These pics are pre haircut...haha We got one this week... boy did he need one.

Carter has begun to understand the concept of praying so before every meal he puts his hands together and waits for us to start to pray....sooo adorable.

Getting closer to Baby Paulus #2 arriving. Carter gives my stomach (the baby) a kiss and points and says baby. I am getting large and uncomfortable..haha But this time i am not as swollen and hot....definitley enjoy being pregnant in the spring compared to a hot summer!!

This weekend we are going to the cities to meet the Marple family. We plan on going to the zoo and just relaxing. Saturday night the grownups are going to the melting pot!!

Fun stuff!

We have some exciting news: We moved into our new house. We bought a place in Reiles Acres which is on the north side of Fargo. It is a lot like our old house- rambler style with plenty of room for the boys. Kenny is excited to cut the acre of grass that came with it too!! :)

We are very thankful for all the people that came over to help move and unpack...each day we are trying to get more and more of it unpacked. We are hoping to have ourselves all settled by the time little baby paulus #2 gets here. Less than 2 months left....time will fly by!!

Below are some easter pictures...Grandma and Grandpa Paulus brought Carter and easter basket...and he was super excited!!

This picture definitely shows Carter's personality....loves to try to talk and show off. (just like his dad)
