Dance recital

Megan had her dance recital today! Such an adorable thing to watch the four year old class do their part, and then see all the classes perform. Ethan was also an excellent little audience member despite all the noise! Nana and Papa came to visit to meet Ethan and see Megan's recital too! Great weekend of fun...

and here are a few cute shots of the new addition too!

Family Resemblance?

"Mom! Come find me!" That's what we heard. This is what we found. She zipped herself into her stuffed animal beanbag. It IS a good hiding spot. Freaks a mother out a bit (although they are mesh breathable openings!) 4-year olds....

Cutie Pie!

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

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!
