Just thought I better make a post for family and friends.  Owen is now over a month old and seems to be adapting to this world pretty well.  Even though he sees the turmoil in Japan.  Which makes me thankful we're landlocked and not located over a fault line.  I worked from home today so I could get some stuff done in Carroll such as; taxes, haircut, mail...etc.  It was also good to see Owen for more than a few hours at night.  Work is finally slowing down and should continue to get a little better throughout the summer.  Kaitlin is adjusting well to being a mom.  She's also finding out how much work a newborn is.  I thought I better post some pictures of Owen after only a month.  I think he's really starting to gain some weight which gives me mixed emotions.  On one hand it's good that he's growing but on the other hand he's outgrowing all of his clothes.  I new from the start a new addition to the family wouldn't cash flow very well.  Well worth it!

 Now that we have adjusted to new jobs and a new child it's time to focus our time on selling our house.  We got an offer yesterday but we rejected it.  Now we're hoping we get more lookers now that spring is pretty much here. 

                                                     Of course Max had to get in a picture.

                                                     We also tried out our new webcam!

Zane here and this will probably be my first and only post.  Then I can hand it over to Kaitlin who is way better at updated friends and family with events that go on around here.  I want to post some of Lissy's pictures for everyone to see.  For those of you who don't know who Lissy is: she is Kaitlin's older sister.  She is an excellent photographer and we're lucky to have her around so she can take these newborn pictures.

Kaitlin woke me up around 1:30am Tuesday, the 15th.  She thought she was having contractions but wasn't sure.  I could tell that she was probably in labor because she was getting nauseous.  I called the hospital and told them we are on our way.  Owen arrived at 2:24pm that day.  He was 8.0 lbs and 20.5 inches.  The whole experience was mind blowing.

The hospital thing got pretty old real fast.  Kaitlin's family came up to help and see Owen for the weekend.  Her parents and sisters (Lissy and Caroline) each watched him for a night so Kaitlin and I could get caught up on some much needed sleep...Thank you! 

I guess we shouldn't have named our blog cornfedtaylors???

Lastly I will just say that we're really happy that everything has went fine and Owen is healthy (except for the constipation).  Kaitlin said to me, "you got your boy" and honestly when Owen arrived that was the last thing I thought about.  I was just in awe of him and I still am!
