My Boys :)

...my boys...

Oh how I just LOVE saying that! Every time I say it or think it I just have to sing praises to my Lord & Savior for the showers of blessings He has rained upon our family! We do not deserve them, yet He continues to bless us beyond measure. Oh what an AMAZING God we serve!Evan all ready to go home from the hospital!

Leaving the hospital...Hooray!

Headed home as a family of 4 for the very 1st time!

This big brother stuff really tires a fella out!
Life as a family of 4 is wonderful! We have our moments of craziness, moments of quietness, and everything in between. Owen is absolutely over the moon in love with his baby brother! He wants to kiss him ALL the time. Big brother is willing & ready to help with anything & everything that has to do with "Eh-ben" (Owen's pronunciation of Evan, so sweet!) at all times. We occasionally have to remind Owen to be gentle, but it's really just because he's so enthusiastic :) Sweet brothers!!!

Silly boy!

Such a proud big brother :)

Tony is back to work now and while that has been an adjustment for sure, I have had plenty of help from both my mom & mother in law which has been a HUGE blessing! I just don't know how families who live far away from their realitives do it--having our family close by is a gift that we certainly don't take for granted!

Owen has started preschool now & he absolutely LOVES it! He goes 2 days a week for 3 hours--just enough time for him to get some energy out, play with his friends, & give mama some one on one time with Evan. Owen is attending the same preschool that I attended when I was little (just in a different location) which is pretty special to me. We are all thoroughly enjoying preschool! 1st day of preschool!

Excited about the car ride to school!

Evan is such a little sweetie! He loves to be held and cuddled and loved on--and this boy LOVES to eat! At his 2 week appointment he was back to his birth weight (8lbs, 7oz) after dipping to 8 lbs when we left the hospital. While I know it's not a huge weight gain, it's quite a change from big brother--Owen took almost an entire month to regain the weight he lost initially :) He is a great night sleeper too! I feed him at 10pm, wake him up to feed him at 3am, and then he doesn't wake to eat again until about 7am--1 night feeding at 3 weeks old isn't too shabby if you ask me!

I'm completely, madly, deeply in love with my boys--ALL 3 of them!!!

God is SO good!!! :)
