My sweet baby boy

9 days old

First Stroller Ride

We enjoyed our first walk on a beautiful fall day last week. We were excited to try out our new stroller...seems like it's going to work out just right for the two of us! The fresh air was good for everyone!

A story for Baby Isaac

One of my favorite stories when I was a little girl was "Are you My Mother?" I decided to get this book from the library for Hannah and like me, she just loved it! We've read it to her so many times that...well...you'll see :)

Here she is sharing one of her favorite books with her new brother...

First Sunday at Church and 1 week old

Born on a Sunday...in church the very next. I guess that's life as a PK :)

He was warmly welcomed by our wonderful church family!!

Isaac Micahel...one week old

First Bath

...and he didn't cry at all. He just laid there and enjoyed the warm water on his back..what a sweetie!

poor guy had to dry off in a pink towel (thanks to his sister) but with the pic in black and white...he'll never know right?!

First Outing

By Saturday, I was definitely getting a little stir crazy. We were planning to head to the Farmers Market for a walk and some fresh air, but rain in the forecast changed our plans. We headed to an area library instead. We've only taken Hannah to this library one time before...boy have we been missing out! What a great place to play and explore..especially on a rainy day! I feel bad that I didn't get any pics of Isaac...but he did just sleep in his stroller the whole time.

veggie painting!

there was a fun Eric Carle rug...she jumped from animal to animal for probably a good 20 minutes. :)

A week with Nana

We were so blessed to have my mom here with us during Isaac's first week home. "Nana" was a huge help! She helped with lots of household work like cleaning windows, sweeping/washing floors, cleaning the bathtub, vacuuming, etc. She also was a great help with Hannah and Isaac, she gave me time to take naps, helped at night, and was an encouragement to me as I began my adjustment of being a mom of two. I don't get to see my mom as much as I would like, so this week was special time for the two of us. Thanks Mom for giving of yourself to bless our family!
