Hanging out

When not sleeping or eating, we've been managing to hang out a bit.  Here are some of the better pictures from our time around the house.

Bath time!

Here are a few pictures of Parker's first bath. (By now, we've given him a number of baths, and now in the bathroom.)

Getting started

This isn't so bad

All dry and toasty now!

Happy Mother's Day!

This year, we were fortunate to have 3 Moms with us for Mother's Day - Lorraine, Grandma, and G.G.  We took lots of pictures, but as expected with a 10 day old and a 3 year old, we didn't wind up with many fantastic ones.  Here are some of the best.

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day!

Introducing....Parker!

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Parker Everett on April 27 at 3:35 pm.  He weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces, was 19 3/4 inches long, and is a cutie!  Everyone is now at home and getting used to the new normal.

Happy Passover!

For yet another year, Jodi and Scott were gracious enough to host us for Passover dinner.  And again, they went all out for us, including making Jodi's famous matzoh ball soup.  We made sure to take some family pictures before our family grows by one.

Bike, take 2

After we realized Cooper's Thomas bike was broken, we went to get him a new bike, this time a Radio Flyer that he loved at TRU. We carefully assembled it, and Cooper took it out for a spin. Unfortunately, we are yet again left with a bike in pieces. Maybe some superglue will help?



Finding his new bike on the steps

Again, a natural!

So proud of himself.

Did I do that? (no, he did not)

Fire party

Cooper was fortunate enough to be able to attend a classmate's fire themed party - and he got to meet actual firefighters and go on a fire truck.  Maybe he'll take after Pop Pop?

Yummy!
