First week home with our two boys!

After 2 nights in the hospital, we missed LJ and wanted to get home! So Wednesday we packed up and headed out!

Gigi came to help us pack up and get home. 

Getting Evan in his going home outfit
All dressed...

Ready to go...
LJ was excited to see his brother and asked to hold him right away!
A hug for his brother!
Karyn and Piper came to visit... 
And so did Annie!
And Karyn made Evan his very first birthday cake!!! So cute and so delicious!! 
Then Queenie and Grandad came by and brought LJ this awesome new plane! LJ LOVES it!
It was a little challenges to put together- but Gigi and LJ had a great time doing it!

And he played with it ALL night!
Airplanes! So fun!!






















Making faces with Dad!

 Our exhausted little man.......





Our sleeping angel!

He loves being swaddled- totally unlike LJ- and actually sleeps so much better/ longer  this way!
And we have had some fun awake time!
His eyes are a deep blue right now... probably will change but so pretty!


We have started reading his black and white animal book- apparently babies don't have full color vision for a while so this is a good way to stimulate them. It definitely seems to work with Evan! His face is so cute to watch when we show him this book- eyes get huge!


Just the funny faces he makes!
Barrett and LJ went to Aunt Kelly's for Queenie and Grandad's last night in town...
LJ LOVES his cousins!
Big hug for Little Eagle
Yes they are in a dog bed playing... pretty cute!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move!

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
