A-10 Graduation

So last Friday Andy graduated from A-10 training. Thursday we went to an incredible event called the "Range Tour". We traveled on a bus 3 hours outside of Tucson to an active range in the middle of the desert. This is where all the pilots go to practice dropping missles and firing the gun. Tyler was quite the traveler and did tremendous for just being a week and half! Be sure to watch the video of the A-10 firing the gatling gun at the end!

Tyler's First Week

It's so hard to believe that Tyler is already 1 week old today! What a blessing this lil' man has been to us in just 7 days. He truely is a miracle and anyone who can hold a precious child like this has no reason not to believe in a mighty God!! The first night was rough trying to catch up from lack of sleep at the hospital while acquainting ourselves with a new baby. Thankfully after a couple of days we got into a routine and Ty is nursing great, sleeping lots, and starting to really open his eyes and explore many new things already. We are blessed with such a chill baby (thus far :), and are having such a blast with him. Georgia is slightly jealous but we are doing our best to make sure she is not forgotten :) Enjoy this pictures and video at the end!

Tyler William Korsmo's Arrival

Here is a quick update to the new little guy. We're so proud of our little man, and can't wait A couple days to go...

Just a quick nap before the big pushing. Quick dilation and a knot in the umbilical chord helped speed up the process. Great work Tara!

Before:

After:

Here he is...8-minutes old and seeminly pretty chill thus far. The doctors ran a bunch of tests and they say that he is "gifted"... he is in the top 99% in terms of athletic ability, ingenuity, good looks, charm, 'manliness', and 12 other catagories. What lucky parents. The new Family (minus Georgia)

Chicken legs? What you talking bout fool?

What a fun little guy. If I didn't say earlier...6lb 3oz, 19" long, born 29 Sep 08 at 4:23pm.

Hitching a ride.
