Baby Samson

Sorry it took me awhile to post about the baby.  I have been trying to get as much rest as I can while I have help here (my mom and Josh have been helping these past two weeks), which hasn't left me much time to blog.  Starting Monday I will be learning a new routine and adjusting to being a mommy of 3 without help during the day!  Yikes!

Samson was born on Friday, October 12.  I had a repeat C-section, and all went well.  Samson came out 100% healthy, praise God, and I am recovering well.  We were blessed to have lots of help during and after his birth.  Josh's parents, sister, brother-in-law, their girls, and my parents all made the long drive from Cincinnati to Columbus, GA to be there for us.  We have such loving and supportive families! 

Samson is such a great baby (at least so far)!  He hardly ever cries.  Even at night when he wakes me up to feed him, he just kind of grunts...no crying.  The only time he really cries is at bath time.  He is so sweet!  Tyson and Caellum have done a really good job adjusting to having a new baby in the house.  Tyson, especially, just LOVES Samson, and always wants to help with him, or love on him.  Caellum loves him too, but we are waiting for some jealously to kick in...we know that's probably coming soon (once Mommy is on her own, and can't give him as much attention).  We just love our new, little man, and can't imagine our lives without him!

Here are some photos from his birth:

Samson William Kinsel

Introducing Samson William Kinsel!  Born at 9:39AM on Friday, October 12th.  He was 7 lbs, 2 oz, 18 in long.  Our hearts are exploding with happiness!  The Lord is so good!  Here are some iphone pics:

                                            
                                            



 I haven't had a chance to upload the photos from our camera yet, but I did want to post the news about his birth real quick.  When I get a chance, I will post more.  For now we are resting, recovering, and enjoying our new, little man!

Can You Believe It?!

Two posts in less than a week!!!  Wow, can you believe that?! :-)  I forgot to blog about our trip to the pumpkin patch, so I thought I would post about it real quick.  Our good friends, The Crescent family, whom we met in Fort Knox, are now stationed here.  We hadn't seen them in about two years, and it is always so nice to reconnect with old friends...that is one awesome benefit to being in the Army!  Ann and Justin, have a little boy, Noah, who was born only two weeks after Caellum!  Here is an old picture of them together when they were only a couple weeks old:

                                  
                                        Awww, they're so little! :-)

So the Crescents have been here for a while, and they found a great pumpkin patch, called Paradise Pumpkin Patch, in Eufaula, AL, which is about an hour and a half drive from Ft. Benning. We decided to go with them to check it out!  Josh has been looking forward to taking the boys to a pumpkin patch since last year, when he had to miss taking them due to being deployed.  We figured we better go quick since I could pop at any moment! :-)  It was a HOT day, but we had a blast!  Here are some pictures of our trip:

It is so nice to have Josh home, and watch him enjoy one of his favorite holidays with his boys.  Funny how your perspective on things changes after a deployment...will never take for granted moments like this!
