Glow Worm Baby

Well, here we go again!
Ethan's jaundice started climbing more than they originally expected, so on Sunday afternoon, the Ped prescribed the bili lights.

We had this for Megan as well - her levels were actually higher even though Ethan was born two weeks earlier than she was...

So our dining room table has now been converted to a photo therapy station.

We are hoping he gets better soon so we can get back to all the cuddle time he loves. He is definitely already a hold me baby, and so staying in the light bed is somewhat irksome to him!

Such a PROUD big sister

Going Home

Our new family addition as we leave the hospital! so thankful that Ethan was able to come home with us considering he was born 5 weeks early!

Our new arrival

This afternoon, Megan came to the hospital to meet her new little brother. She was so excited to see him and hold him! She was a bit overexcited, but seems super excited to get to wear her "I'm the big sister" shirt and brag on her new brother.

Ethan Edward Homan was born 5-6-10 at 6:02 PM. 6 lb 3 oz. At 4:15 PM, we were home visiting with a neighbor. At 4:20, contractions kicked in and my water broker. And then we arrived at the hospital at 5PM. It was a quick and busy hour!

Ballet (Mayfest)

Today, Megan had her ballet recital at Mayfest, the outdoor festival in Fort Worth. This is sort of the dress rehearsal for her OFFICIAL recital onstage at the University in a few weeks!

All age groups performed, so the whole thing lasted about an hour and a half. Megan, being in the youngest class, had one song, and they were just adorable. Maybe not the best group, but the cutest by far!

School Photos

Here are this Spring's School Photos - she is starting to look like such a girl and not so much like a little kid! 4-1/2 now!

Orders for prints can also be placed online, so if you are interested in these (because we really didn't place an order since we plan on family pictures once the little one is born) let me know and I can email you the link!

She really is (as her shirt says) TOO SWEET!

Cute Girl

Ok, I confess. This is a picture that I messed up royally. I had the camera set, and then popped on the flash for one or two pics, and didn't realize (since it was so sunny I couldn't see the LCD screen) that they were totally blown.

However, they were almost the only shots that actually had her smiling and looking like my Megan. So this was my best attempt to recover what there was of the image and just make it look artsy.

That or I could pretend I intended it to be this way!

Bluebonnets and Wildflowers

Today we attempted the wildflower pictures. It was bright, sunny and windy and most the photos show that! But there are just TONS of flowers this year!

Sweet Sleeping Girl

A photo Chris took of her sound asleep so sweetly. It is about 11PM, and the room is almost completely dark. So this is courtesy of a tripod, a 15 second exposure, and some Lightroom work!

Happy Easter!

And of course, the first thing she did after church was locate her favorite toy, Callie!
