Sweet Caroline (Caro"lion")

Our baby girl decided she didn't want an April 19th birthday as planned so she took matters into her own hands...poor Dale got a text telling him to come to the hospital after a short 2 hours at his new job. Grady giving his new sister a curious look. His first question was "What does a Caro"lion" do?" "ROAAARRR". He has since called her Caro"giraffe", Caro"tiger" and Caro"monkey".

and enjoying the first time holding her. This is before the gravity of his new life at home hit him.

Don't ever let a 3 year old get up on your hospital bed after surgery. He is more than likely responsible for a number of pain pills I had to take that day.
