We're Back

I know you all probably thought I was done blogging for good.  Surprise....I'm back!  I thought I'd update everyone with some pictures.  We are having fun figuring things out as a family of four now.  Nora is such a wonderful addition to our family!  She is so patient, calm, and laid back.  She really brings such a special spirit into our home.  It is so wonderful to have my kids here and be able to enjoy them.  Eli loves kissing Nora and helping with everything "baby".  He is a great big brother.  We hope you enjoy our family pictures.

Nora just home from the hospital.  Eli was taken by her immediately.
He is giving her a kiss.

 We went to and got some studio photos done when Nora was a week old.  We didn't realize Eli was so photogenic.  It's funny because he got some really good pictures even though he wasn't very cooperative.

Some of my family (Mom, Dad, and two younger brothers, Spencer and Tyler) were able to come down and visit when Nora was two weeks old.  While they were here we were able to do Nora's blessing.

Nora had to be admitted to the hospital last week because of an infection.  She was finally released after five days of IV antibiotics.  She is doing much better now.  Thank you all for you love, support, and prayers during this time.  We are very lucky to have so many people in our lives.
