A new addition

Sunday, May 1, 2011

On my blog I'm typically sharing stories and images from other people's special day. So I am very excited to instead be sharing a little from our own special day... A few weeks ago we welcomed baby Colin into the family. Here's our healthy little man less than an hour old...


And reunited with mom...


Meeting Colin for the first time was very special. Just as special for me, however, was when I brought our almost-three year old in to meet him and see her mom. We had all been eagerly awaiting Colin's arrival. Abby was so excited to see him, and it was so wonderful to watch...


Abby loves her dolls -- diapering, feeding, putting them to bed -- so for her it looked like she was slipping into a comfy, worn slipper. She was so comfortable and gentle with him, and ready to jump right in taking care of her little brother. All of a sudden she did not look two...


After a few days in the hospital everyone came home and began settling in. Colin seems to settle in wherever he is at the moment...


After a few weeks life is starting to settle down. There is still a lot of balance to be found with a newborn and toddler at home, but it's early and we'll find it.
