    Easy Like a Sunday Afternoon

    You just gotta get your camera out when Elise is enjoying her lazy Sunday afternoons this much. I’d have to have my proud dad license revoked or something. 🙂 I got David’s swing out of the attic after being in storage a year and a half or so and since the batteries still worked… we decided Elise needed to try it out, I think she’s adapting quite nicely, don’t you think?

    Home!

    It’s been a bit busy around the homefront the past week, to say the least. 🙂 David (big brother) wasn’t so sure about the usurper to his throne at first: …but her cuteness apparently won the day and he was soon hugging and kissing his little sister: Melanie was discharged after a few days: and now it’s all over but the cuteness 🙂 Below is a few more images from the past week… we’ve got lots more (like her first bath, David trying to feed his sister, various cute faces) but I’m not sure if this blog would collapse from terminal cuteness. (We ain’t proud, why do you ask?) 🙂…

    It’s a Girl!

    Yes, we knew that part already, but it’s still fun to say 🙂 Melanie went into labor a bit early last night, so we went to the hospital to get checked, the doctor (Dr. Pieternelle) was walking up the hall as we walked off the elevator and said “there’s no use even checking you, you are less than 12 hours from the scheduled c-section, let’s go ahead and have her”. 😮 Melanie’s eyes bugged, my mouth dropped and an hour later Elise was here! 🙂 Just a few photos before I head back to the hospital: Beautiful mama waiting for the arrival: Yay! A little blurry, but everything was moving…
