Finally I captured him with his eyes open

More Pictures of Baby Levi

Grandma and Sadie visit Levi in the hospital.

Eliza peeks in on Levi in the crib. She and Sadie made cards for Levi with Nikki. The nurse hung them in the crib so he could see how happy his big sisters are to have him.

One last cuddle before leaving the hospital.Levi's all ready to leave the hospital. Eliza welcomes Levi home.Levi sleeping, as usual. So far, at three days old, Levi has been an easy, sleepy, sweet baby.

Levi is here!

Levi is born. He was born at 11:25 am after 1 push and no sweat. Terry is a birthing machine. It is just the whole pregnancy thing that stinks. She can push a baby out!

Levi is 7 lbs 7 oz. He was born after an hour of contractions. He has brown hair. You don't care about the typing do you! You want the pictures. So go ahead, look!

About to come!

Terry is completely dilated. Levi's head is right there! The nurse is calling her Dr.!

In the hospital!!!!

This is David speaking. We are in the hospital. Terry is almost 5 cm dilated. The doctor says she'll birth by 11 am. We'll see. They haven't actually induced her yet. Well, I'd better go and be a good husband.


Terry ready to leave the house!















Terry hooked up to the IV...waiting for the epidural.

Portraits Of My Girls

Since Eliza just turned four, I took the girls in for portraits. We got some fun ones of the girls in their new Halloween costumes too.

Awesome Labor Day Weekend

This weekend our family got away to my home town. It was so fun. Four families got together. I have been friends with these ladies (Katie, Alisha, and Jenny) since I was 13 years old. We went to Church together. In our young adult years we ended up living spread out all over the country, but recently we all ended up back in Virginia . I think we are lucky to have been able to keep in touch and maintain a friendship despite the miles and time between us. Jenny posted about it and some of our old adventures here. She even included some fun old adolescent pictures of us. :) (Really, Jen, is that how I used to dress?)

Katie was our wonderful host. Her awesome parents went out of town for the weekend and they let us use their beautiful and spacious home for out get together. We had tons of delicious food to eat. Katie had planned activities for the kids. My two girls had SO much fun! They loved water play and sidewalk chalk drawing. They were scared of the tractor rides but their Daddy enjoyed taking the tractor for a drive. I was a little apprehensive about how my kids would behave sleeping in a strange place, but they did great. They had so much fun and they still k me if they can go back to Katie's house. Eliza loved Alisha's older boys. That little one always loves the big boys. Katie's four year old, Ada, took great care of Sadie and always showed her around and included her in fun things to do. They loved it. David and I loved the conversation and the great company.

Sadly, I didn't think to take pictures of us when we had some natural light. This picture turned out awful but I am posting it anyway. Here we are: (from left to right) Jenny, Katie, Me, and Alisha. The babies are Jenny's twins, Madeline and Issac. Here we are with our offspring.
Here are pictures of the offspring enjoying water play.
