We're Home!

Baby Ethan came home today. As most of you know, a big (for around here) snow storm hit the night he was born. We got five inches of snow followed by freezing rain throughout the night. Roads were a little treacherous but we made it home safe.

We’re so glad to be home. Brooke and Ethan are both doing really well. He’s doing what babies do best; eating, sleeping, and pooping! Parker did great with Uncle Chad and Grammy & Big Poppa while we were in the hospital. But he was certainly glad to see us drive up today. He’s interested in Ethan but only in short bursts. Mostly he just ignores the baby. We’ll see over the next weeks how he adjusts. Here are some of our pictures from the last two days…

Ethan’s first photos.





When they laid him under the heat lamp he stretched out and loved it.
He’s shaped a lot like Parker.


Then someone told him the Chargers were out of the playoffs…

Ethan and Daddy



They always hate the first bath!


Grammy and Big Poppa were happy.



They brought Parker by to visit his new baby brother on Saturday.
Here’s the first kiss from big brother Parker.


Johnathan and Jessie live close by and were able to make it through the snow.


Finally on Sunday, we bundled up and headed home. This is the same car seat we brought Parker home in. Get used to hand-me-downs kid!



We made it home in time for me to take Parker out and play in the snow. It was a nice afternoon and some neighborhood kids were sledding down a hill behind the house. So Parker got his first taste of winter sports. We went down about a half dozen times and he just wanted to go faster.



Not to leave the dogs out, Roxy and Mr. Willis love the snow.
Here’s Roxy patrolling the fence.


The snow is fun but unfortunately it has kept most of our family from seeing the new baby. Hopefully, it will continue to melt and Ethan looks forward to seeing everyone real soon!
