Day 1

There has been a steady stream of visitors since Ethan's arrival and we feel so fortunate to have such kind people in our lives. Thanks to everyone for the congratulatory messages and well wishes!

We finished out our stay at the hospital and made it home from Sunday around 3:00 p.m. Our first night at home was a long one, but everyone survived and we’re now gearing up for night number three. All we’re hoping for is 90 minutes of uninterrupted sleep. Fingers crossed!

Ethan's Birthday

After a busy Thanksgiving day filled with family and friends, we were given the greatest gift to be thankful for.

Ethan Michael made a very early (four weeks!), but fabulous debut on Friday November 23 at 2:17 pm. He weighed in at a 6 pounds and is 18 inches long with a full head of dark brown hair that made his Dad very proud!

And, best of all, Grandma made it within hours of his arrival!

Showered with Love

A couple weeks ago, we were given the grandest of all baby showers. It was an amazing, warm sunny day and we were surrounded by all our family and friends. It was so grande in fact, we had to rent a vehicle to get all the gifts home. Everyone was so generous and we are excited by all the love Baby E will receive. An extra-special thank you again to my Mom, Christie, Aunt Junie, Linda and Betty Ann for all the effort, love, time and thought you put into this. Everything was wonderful and I only wish it lasted longer!

One Boy, Two Teams

Whether he likes it or not if you ask me, Baby E will be a born Cubs fan. However, his Dad is convinced he will be a south-side White Sox fan. Given the Cubs lackluster post-season performance this year, I may have to agree. The little one had the pleasure of visiting both fields this summer and taking in his first Cubs and Sox games at Wrigley and Comisky. At least we know he will be a hard-core Bears fan!
