He's here...

Our family grew by one today. Our new baby boy is here.

Welcome Cooper Axel Provins!



Tracy gave birth via c-section at 9:41am on January 19, 2009. He weighed 7 lbs, 6 oz and measured 20". He is a beautiful, healthy baby.




Tracy had a scheduled c-section on Monday morning. Here are photos taken before and after surgery.

First shot with Mommy and Daddy...


Auntie Trina got to go into the delivery room towards the end and then she stayed with Tracy in the recovery room.


In the afternoon, Carter came to meet his little brother and wanted to show him his new toy.
Here's a photo of the new family.


Here are some photos of Cooper's first day visitors - Grandma Sandy, Aunt Kaye & Uncle Paul, Grandpa O (Grandma O not pictured), Aunt Tae & Uncle Phil, and (Honorary) Aunt Rachael.





Here's a photo of Cooper with Tracy's wonderful OB/GYN
Dr. Trina Manes.

Here are three more photos of Cooper at age 2 days. These were taken and edited by our great friend Tessa Desharnais of GrinAndShareItPhoto.com.




She came back a couple of weeks later and took more photos. Check them out on Tessa's blog.

Carter is 5!

Carter turned 5 on January 6!  His friends came over on his birthday for a Hot Wheels birthday party.  They had a racing good time.
