Here I am the day before Cole arrives.

Our newest addition made his arrival a little over 3 weeks early. Cole Allen Swindle arrived on February 5, 2008 at 5:21 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs and 7 & 1/2 oz and was 19 & 1/2 inches long. Hunter is overjoyed at having a little brother and loves to call him "buddy"!

Well, it has been a long time since I have done this. I guess I just got busy with other stuff. We are going to give it another try. As many of you know, we are expecting another baby boy, Cole Allen Swindle, on February 26th. I actually hope a little earlier. Hunter is so excited about becoming a big brother and we are looking forward to our new bundle of joy. As I get going again with this, I will update with new pics and info.
