Visit from Grandma

We tried our best to get a picture with Grandma.

Thanks Mom for coming to stay with us.
You were a great help!

Farm... again

While my mom was here we decided to venture out to the farm again. I don't think Miriam ever tires of seeing the animals. I missed most of the animals (because I was feeding Simon), but caught some great moments of Michael. Don't my kids have a great dad?

Our Easter Best

love this family picture...
Miriam is being goofy
Simon is screaming
Michael and I are trying to act as if none of it is happening

Easter Eggs

Today we colored Easter eggs with Miriam. She has such an artistic brain and really enjoyed the whole process. She started by mixing the colors with Michael. She was into coloring the eggs so much that I could barely get her to look up for any pictures. She wanted most of her eggs to be pink, such a girl! She even shared an egg with Simon.

two weeks old

one week

Our little Simon is one week old today. Here is a bit of what life has been like for us.

four days old

simon has to have a biliblanket for his jaundice

miriam took this picture today.
she loves her little brother.

miriam enjoyed blowing bubbles with michael today.
we enjoy the nice weather as it comes.

Overall we are doing well. Miriam is adjusting well to Simon. The initial love of holding him has worn off, but she still wants to check on him all the time. Simon is eating and sleeping well. We are hoping to get rid of the biliblanket very soon. He has been on it since Tuesday. It has been frustrating having to go see the doctor everyday. We go back to the pediatrician on Monday and are hoping for some good news. As of today he is already back up to 9 pounds after having lost a little over a pound in the hospital. We feel like he is doing well. We are trying to enjoy all the time together at home.
